Antiparos

1. Authentic windmill

To kick off our list of the best Airbnb rentals in the Cyclades, we’ve chosen an original traditional dwelling. It’s an authentic windmill located on the island of Antiparos in the village of Agios Georgios.

You’ll appreciate the breathtaking panoramic view of the Aegean Sea and the ancient sanctuary of the island of Despotiko. A beautiful outdoor kitchen and terrace are also available for relaxing after a day spent jumping into the infinity pool. Special mention must be made of the outdoor stone shower, a pure marvel. For your shopping, don’t worry: the port of Agios Georgios is just a stone’s throw away. A must, we tell you!

2. Typical charming accommodation

Also in Antiparos, this apartment won us over with its decor. The whitewashed walls highlight the massive exposed beams. The cozy bedrooms offer incredible sea views, as does the large balcony. See those two dots on the horizon? Those are the islands of Sifnos andIos!

This Airbnb rental in the Cyclades is also close to the island’s most beautiful beaches. We recommend that you stop off at one of the restaurants for which the area is famous. A recommendation? Without hesitation, the superb seafood platters accompanied by a white or rosé wine typical of the country.

Paros

3. Luxury family property

Welcome to this beautiful house that can accommodate five travelers. Comprising two beautiful bedrooms, it is one of the most beautiful on the island of Paros. In addition to the breathtaking view of the Aegean Sea, you’ll appreciate the relaxation area: swimming pool, tennis court… What more could you ask for? An ideal location, for example!

The property is located in Krotiri, just a few minutes’ drive from the port of Parikia. Take advantage of the (morning) harbor market to bring back some food for the barbecue. Tip: grilled fish goes well with stuffed grape leaves…

4. Ideally located apartment

The island of Paros has its jewels: Náoussa, for example. Known for its picturesque little fishing port, the village is located in the north of the island. Here you’ll find one of the best Airbnb rentals in the Cyclades: this slightly off-center accommodation with terrace is just a few minutes’ walk from the docks. Closer still is the pretty little beach of Pipéri.

With its lovely terrace and well-equipped facilities, this apartment is perfect for a couple visiting the Cyclades as lovers. Excursions around the island are facilitated by the presence of a parking lot, making parking easy and convenient. Where do you want to start?

Mykonos

5. Charming loft

Designed for four guests, this loft is a must, even for the island of Mykonos. It’s nestled in a chalky-white villa typical of the Cyclades, just a few meters from Ornos beach. You’ll love the uncluttered decor of this large, fully-equipped studio. We’ll love the beauty of Ornos Bay, reputed to be one of the safest on the island.

Ideal for children: the crystal-clear water is relatively shallow and well protected from currents. Restaurants, stores and supermarkets are also nearby. For a day out, head for the island of Delos, the heart of the Cyclades. You can get there by ferry… directly from the bay.

6. Large house with pool

Welcome to Chora, the main town on the island of Mykonos. Famous for the many cultural and festive events held here throughout the summer, this charming Airbnb rental can be found here. This house can accommodate six travelers in its three bedrooms.

To admire the deep blue of the Aegean Sea, there’s nothing better than floating in the infinity pool! What’s more, the contemporary furniture blends in brilliantly with the interior’s trendy decor. All in all, a true splendor.

7. Nice house for four

Let’s continue our list of the best Airbnb rentals in the Cyclades with this gem located on the island of Mykonos. This house features a pergola offering an incredible view of the Aegean Sea. Perfect for relaxing with a drink in the evening.

The fully-equipped kitchen is the perfect place to satiate yourself after your visit to the town of Chora. This haven of peace perched in the heights of Mykonos seduces all those who have the opportunity to stay here: will you be one of them?

8. Cosy studio for lovers

9. Windmill

Wow! Still in Mykonos, overlooking « Little Venice « , this windmill would have made Alphonse Daudet green with envy. Among the best Airbnb rentals in the Cyclades, this home stands out for its meticulous decoration.

Spread over four levels, it includes two beautiful rooms to welcome guests. Nearby, a mini-market ensures that you won’t be short of anything. What could be better than tasting local produce while admiring the deep blue sea?

Santorini

10. Traditional Cycladic house

Among the best Airbnb rentals in the Cyclades, we couldn’t pass up this 14th-century house in Santorini. With its whitewashed walls and typical Cycladic layout, it has an authentic feel. With its swimming pool, it’s located in the heart of Exo Gonia’s narrow streets.

Santorini is world-famous for its dazzling white houses contrasting with the azure surroundings. Here, sky and sea become one… Exo Gonia is built on the slopes of Mount Mesa Vouno, in the south-east of Santorini. The nearby village of Pyrgos, with its lively square, is well worth a visit.

11. Luxury apartment in Oia

This beautiful apartment is located in Oia, a coastal town at the north-western tip of Santorini. It’s famous for its white alleyways and the blue domes covering the buildings. The accommodation is definitely one of the best Airbnb rentals in the Cyclades.

With its beautiful terrace overlooking the sunset, its central location and its refined decor, everything here is designed to make you feel at home. What’s more, you’ll love the proximity of the troglodytic dwellings suspended in the void for which the commune is famous.

12. Cosy pied-à-terre in Mesaria

This charming apartment had to feature in our list of the best Airbnb rentals in the Cyclades. In Santorini, in the charming village of Mesaria, we find this well-equipped accommodation for six people. It has three bedrooms and is close to the town of Fira.

We recommend a visit to the neoclassical Argyros mansion and its museum. For those with a sweet tooth, the ouzo distillery at Canava Santorini offers tastings… in moderation, of course!
