Location and getting around
Drafaki is on the south edge of town, near the windmills and Megali Ammos beach. The windmills are about a two-minute drive, the beach a similar distance, and the airport is just two minutes away by car, which is a real convenience for early flights. The centre of Chora is a walk of fifteen to twenty minutes to Fabrica Square and Matoyianni Street, or a short taxi ride. Mykonos Town Hall is a few minutes by car. Parking spaces are limited, so ask when you book.
The rooms
There are six room types, with the Junior and Deluxe Suites offering sea views. Rooms are air-conditioned, with a 32-inch TV, a safe, a mini fridge and a rainfall shower. Ask for a sea-view room if the view matters, and for one away from the bar if you want a quiet evening.
Who it suits
Couples, honeymooners and friends who want a boutique, adults-only atmosphere and a pool, without paying for a cliffside resort. It does not suit families, as the property admits only adults. Anyone who prefers to walk to dinner should note that the stroll into town is a fair distance, especially after dark.
