Chapter I – A Letter from the Manager

A personal welcome from the heart of the hotel.

Olga Papadaki Tharroe of Mykonos hotel manager, Representantive of Cycladed islands at Hellenic Champer of Hotels.

Welcome to Tharroe of Mykonos.

From the very beginning, this place was created with care for people, for the land it stands on, and for the experience of staying somewhere that feels calm, genuine and personal. As a family-run hotel, our involvement has always been direct and hands-on, guided by presence rather than distance.

Hospitality for us is not a role. It is a responsibility. It means knowing when to be attentive and when to give space, understanding that true comfort comes from simplicity, respect and consistency. Many of the faces you meet at Tharroe have been here for years, sharing the same values and the same sense of pride in the place.

The hill, the light, the art, and the objects around you are part of our everyday life. They are treated with the same care as our guests, because they carry memory, character and continuity. We believe that a hotel should evolve with time without losing its soul, remaining open, welcoming and grounded in what truly matters.

We are glad to share the energy of this place with you, and we hope your time at Tharroe of Mykonos feels effortless, sincere and memorable.

Warm regards,

Olga Papadaki
Hotel Manager

 

Chapter II – The Beginning (1997)

How a family-run boutique hotel was founded on the hill above Mykonos Town.

Tharroe of Mykonos was founded in 1997 as a family-run boutique hotel, created with a clear intention: to offer a calm, personal form of hospitality, rooted in its location rather than in scale.

The choice of the hill above Mykonos Town was central from the start. Elevated yet close to the island’s center, the location offers open views, privacy and a sense of distance from the intensity of the town, while remaining connected to daily life on the island.

Designed in traditional Mykonian architectural style, the hotel was conceived on a human scale. A limited number of rooms and shared spaces allowed the atmosphere to remain quiet, open and unforced, shaped by light, proportion and ease rather than by excess.

As a family-run property, Tharroe was formed through daily presence and care. Decisions were made gradually, with respect for continuity and a long-term view. This approach established the foundations of the hotel as it exists today: a place defined by its setting, its values and a personal relationship with those who stay here.

The story of Tharroe did not begin as a concept.
It began with a place, and the intention to treat it with care.

Chapter III – Evolution Through Time

Values first: care, simplicity, light, culture, and consistency over time.

Since its beginning, Tharroe of Mykonos has been shaped by a clear set of values rather than by constant change. Friendly, attentive service, respect for people and place, and a calm, human approach to hospitality have remained at the core of the hotel’s identity.

The hotel’s evolution mirrors the character of the hill on which it stands: steady, grounded and timeless. Rather than following short-lived trends, Tharroe has adapted thoughtfully, embracing what adds value while preserving simplicity, light and balance. Comfort and quality are refined quietly, without excess or display.

Art, culture and collected objects are part of everyday life at Tharroe, not as decoration, but as elements that give depth to the spaces and reflect continuity over time. The atmosphere is shaped by light, materials and a sense of ease that feels lived-in rather than designed.

This approach allows Tharroe of Mykonos to remain relevant without losing its essence: a place that evolves with time, while staying true to its values, its people and its location.
