Mykonos: a shopper’s paradise

Shopping is most definitely an important part of tourism as most shops are in centrally located streets and even if many brands can be found all over the world, the experience of visiting them in different cities is always unique. Bringing back home souvenirs or traditional pieces of the country is a nice way to hold on to the memory of a trip. Mykonos is no different.  It may be well known for its amazing nightlife, mesmerizing beaches and exquisite restaurants, however, the exclusive shopping experience is a good enough reason to consider bringing fewer items, as filling up a suitcase won’t be a difficult task. The exclusive Greek brands that can be found on this posh island will take your breath away… Here are just a few that really caught our attention and we now simply adore! Cosset Cosset is a furniture store like no other, that turns your house into a home.  The minimal design of the items can transform a simple space into a contemporary stylish atmosphere. The high quality of the pieces characterize the philosophy of the brand as they single out the best materials from all over the world and are able to shape such inspired interior & exterior creations. Your home will be furnished by art contributing to the joyous moments that a home brings each family. Scorpios Bazaar No introduction needed for Scorpios beach bar, as the captivating boho chic ambiance blends in sublimely with the natural rare beauty of the location. Scorpios Bazaar proudly adds to the exquisiteness of the beach bar, carrying handcrafted objects from various international brands.

Dew Mykonos Our favorite concept store in Mykonos owned by two friends who joined forces and created an original store that is defined by their common passion, fashion.
