I'm here at gorgeous Katikies Mykonos with the general manager Aggelos.
How are you this morning i'm doing great great thank you just wanted to welcome you to the
Katikies Mykonos hotel and i would be more than happy to show you around great can you tell me a
little bit about the hotel here how how old is it how uh tell me a little bit about the design and
and what people can expect here the hotel is relatively new actually uh there was an existing
hotel over here but four years ago approximately got fully renovated uh by the owner and it has
created a brand new property new rooms new facilities and well you're about to see that
great can you tell me a little bit about the size uh and some of the amenities and then we'll
take a tour certainly uh what you will find in the Katikies property is um there are two pools
one which is at the level which is right above us one of the highest level of the hotel and then you
also got two restaurants uh the celts restaurant where you will find creative mediterranean cuisine
and some sushi as well you'll also find Mikrasia restaurant which is a fine dining restaurant with
Greek Anatolian cuisine a mixture of well old traditional let's say Greek cuisine
and put in a more fine dining uh contemporary way and presentation and of course you will find
our a spa which is using exclusively linsen barth products in order to make it even more
premium as an experience great let's take a look around okay follow me and of course
this is where the check-in experience and the experience with the Katikies Mykonos begins
right around our lobby in our countryside where all of our clients can enjoy
uh services such as making all the bookings all the arrangements which are necessary
a boat trip uh excursion um whatever it might be here's where we assist them
so here we're located at sales this is our old day restaurant and this is where someone can start
their day with a beautiful breakfast currently they can choose either from a la carte or buffet
breakfast and this is where everything starts at Katikies you can continue of course with a nice
mediterranean lunch with contemporary cuisine and also some very exquisite sushi options as
well or of course just enjoy a glass of champagne or aperativo in the afternoon hours right before
dinner either ourselves or mikrasia restaurant or by having a beautiful stroll and walk into town
so here we are at our uh main pool uh which is located right below the restaurant uh offering
very beautiful views of world famous Delos in the background and of course this work and someone can
have snacks by the pool or even a light lunch or drinks of course and enjoy relaxing music
and of course the the comfort of our pool so we're here at the a spa vincent st barth
overall we have four spas within the group and one of them is located here at
Mykonos island and what's special about the response is the fact that we're using exclusively
the products of flints and bars either for the massages that we have a wide selection
of either 60 or 90 minutes massages we have also one really well interesting treatment the the warm
shells frequent which is one of our signature treatments uh we have a white selection also
facial treatments exclusively again using sunburn products in order to increase the
moisturization of the skin the elasticity of the skin and our spa is available throughout
the day for guests either from 10 o'clock in the morning to 8 o'clock in the evening so after
well a day by the beach i think what's perfect it's another treatment on our smile
in order to soothe a little bit with the skin from the sun and see so right now we're uh at
Mikrasia restaurant this is where our second pool is located we have a very beautiful infinity pool
with a beautiful view towards the Delos islands excuse me for frowning but as you may know Delos
is one of the brightest spots on Greece so we get to have lots of sun and lots of brightness
over here which is by the way considered to be the birthplace of Apollo the lightning god
according to ancient greeks so from this location you have beautiful views either towards the south
and to Agios Ioannis beach where we are located or towards Delos island and of course what you
see over here that will be set up as um our second pool in the evening you will see transforms into
our fine dining restaurant mikrasia this mixture of greek and anatolian cuisine. now tell me about
this pool this is very different it's sort of it's special and unique can you tell me about
it it is indeed because i mean as you uh well as you might be feeling mykonos is um an island
which is very windy especially during the summer months so since Agios Ioannis is the area that we
are located is a little bit more protected from the wind but still you get a very nice and strong
breeze especially during july and august what we have tried to do over here is to bring the beach
uh to our guest right over here from the comfort of the hotel so this explains the setup with the
sand on the floor and also this is what we have done at this infinity pool it has the the feeling
that you are walking into the sand and you're walking into the actual uh beach and sea water
so that's the concept having the views having the sand but not compromising they're the comforts
of a beautiful five-star property that's a concept of it great and then you've got the patio
up here for the dining room at night as well of course this is where we're setting up for dinner
i as mentioned it's a fine dining restaurant uh you will see a very beautiful setup with
tablecloths and beautiful candles and fine dining either the the station venues that we
have available either the a la carte menus that we have available still the service the feeling
the comfort and well the elegance is there however we feel that being in a fine dining restaurant in
such a destination could make few people a little bit too how should i put it a little bit too tight
but still by having the sand as i explained here before it makes it a bit more comfortable it makes
a little bit you feel a bit more grounded to the energy of the island so what we want end of the
day to make film people like home make them feel comfortable but still offer fine dining cuisine
great it's a gorgeous spot and so perfect for a romantic night after the sunset which is true we
also had some wedding proposals over here or the birthday celebration whether it's just a romantic
dinner over the beautiful lights uh of Agios Ioannis right and there's also just a cocktail
space if people want to enjoy a drink before going out for dinner elsewhere of course and
not just drinks what's special uh about this um um restaurant of the hotel is that at the lounge
area that you have mentioned we can also offer shisha orchestra can be offered also after dinner
seasha uh sounds a little bit arabic but uh for the mikrasia the minor asia culture it was
kind of a ritual either before or after lunch or dinner so as part of the concept of the restaurant
we also have she's available in different flavors that we create over here at the restaurants
so uh over here the catechism economist we also grow our own herbs uh one of the the stronger
aspects of our properties sustainability so among other activities that we're taking
we also grow our own herbs which are chefs of the cuisine and our bartenders are using for
their cocktails and well the recipes in general so some of them you can see them grown over here
you can see our lavender you can see some thyme or rosemary but we also have the sweet scented
geranium which is one of my favorites and of course we have lots of mints and peppermints
as well which are perfect for our cocktails and recipes if you enjoyed this video please like and
