On Mykonos, the wind is the determining factor. The Meltemi blows for days in summer with strengths that displace anything light. The architecture responds with low, whitewashed cubes, thick walls, and sheltered courtyards. The furnishings must provide the same response.
Weight Trumps Appearance
A lightweight chair on Mykonos will not stay where you placed it for long. Outdoor furniture requires its own weight or a spot in a wind-protected courtyard. Parasols are dangerous without heavy bases. Large planters in a row are the most effective windbreak and also structure the terrace.
White Needs Texture
Inside and out, white dominates, complemented by light flooring and ample light. Color quickly appears loud in this setting, whereas texture remains calm: wicker, coarse fabrics, undyed wood, a rug with structure instead of pattern. Rattan is indigenous to this place, for open areas in its weather-resistant version.
Salt and Sun Are Factors
The combination of salt air and high UV exposure is harsher than almost anywhere else in Europe. Coated metals, quick-drying upholstery, and removable covers are not recommendations, but prerequisites. Covering or storing items in winter doubles their lifespan.
