Mykonos houses are traditionally whitewashed to reflect the strong Mediterranean sun and keep interiors cool during the summer. Lime wash (asvestis) was historically used as it is a breathable material and allows moisture to escape – essential for homes exposed to Aegean winds, humidity, and sea salt. Over time, the bright white color became an essential part of Cycladic identity, now preserved by local architectural regulations, contributing to the island’s iconic, timeless aesthetic.

Mykonos began attracting international attention in the 1960s, when its natural beauty, whitewashed Cycladic architecture, and relaxed island lifestyle drew artists, jet-set travelers, and celebrities from Europe and the United States. Its proximity to the sacred island of Delos, one of the most important archaeological sites in Greece, also played a key role in putting Mykonos on the global map.

Mykonos has a long tradition of inclusivity and became internationally known for its welcoming atmosphere toward all travelers.

“Tharroe” comes from the ancient Greek verb θαρρώ, meaning “I dare”, “I believe”, or “I presume.” The name is inspired by the Mycenaean tholos tomb located on the hill where the hotel stands, believed to have been built in honor for a presumed queen, very important at the time, whose name remains unknown. Thus, the hotel’s name symbolically refers to “the one who was presumed to be the Queen of Mykonos.”

Tharroe of Mykonos was created in 1997 by the Lytras family as a family-run boutique hotel blending Cycladic tradition, art, and discreet luxury. Over the years, the hotel has expanded its facilities while maintaining its original identity of warm Greek hospitality and refined aesthetics.

The hotel is built on a historically significant site where a Mycenaean tholos tomb was discovered. The tomb is believed to date back to the Mycenaean period and is protected by the Greek Ministry of Culture. Its presence influenced both the hotel’s name and its architectural concept, connecting ancient heritage with contemporary hospitality.

Yes. Tharroe of Mykonos features an extensive private art collection displayed throughout the hotel’s public spaces and guest rooms. The collection includes original sculptures and paintings by several established Greek and international artists.

The hotel hosts a curated selection of original artworks, including:

• “Corsica & Amaryllis” – a sculptural work inspired by natural forms.
• “The Whale” – a signature piece symbolizing harmony and movement.
• “The Mask” – a contemporary interpretation of classical theatrical masks.
• “Minotaur Woman” – a sculpture blending mythology with modern expression.
• “Man with an Apple” – a symbolic work exploring balance and temptation.

In addition to these sculptures, every guest room features genuine paintings by Greek artists, and various artworks can be found across all public areas. The collection reflects the hotel’s philosophy of connecting culture, history, and hospitality in an authentic way.

Tharroe of Mykonos is privately owned by the Lytras family, who have operated the hotel since its opening in 1997. The family remains actively involved in the hotel’s daily management and long-term vision.

The hotel is managed by a dedicated team of hospitality professionals led by the Papadaki–Lytras family. Key departments include Reservations, Guest Relations, Housekeeping, Maintenance, Food & Beverage, all focused on providing personalized service and warm Greek hospitality. Most of our team members have been with us for many years, contributing to the hotel’s consistent quality and family-like atmosphere.

Tharroe of Mykonos follows a philosophy centered on genuine hospitality, privacy, and authenticity. The hotel blends Cycladic architecture, curated art, historical heritage, and personalized service to create a calm, refined, and meaningful experience for guests seeking both comfort and cultural connection.

Barbarossa Restaurant takes its name from the legendary pirate Barbarossa, who used the hill where the hotel now stands as an observatory. Due to its elevated position and unobstructed 360-degree views of the sea, the site served as a strategic lookout point during the pirate activity of the Aegean. Today, the restaurant honors this history while offering modern Greek–Mediterranean cuisine with one of the island’s most impressive sunset views.

The hilltop where Tharroe of Mykonos stands has been an important point on the island for thousands of years. Since around 1500 BC, it served as the “acropolis” of Mykonos, hosting a royal Mycenaean tholos tomb that remains on the site today. In later centuries, the hill functioned as a fyrktoria (beacon point) and a maritime observatory used by successive rulers and by the pirates who frequented the Aegean.

The large rock at the summit was registered on historic naval maps, such as of the English Admiralty, as a daytime landmark guiding ships toward the Old Port of Mykonos.

Since 1997, this historic hilltop has been home to Tharroe of Mykonos, a boutique luxury hotel with panoramic views of the Aegean, the windmills, and the sunset.
