Mykonos Exclusive Reviews 36

We just returned from a 10-day trip with a group of 10, and I can honestly say that Elsa Pakali and Mykonos Exclusive are the gold standard for luxury service on the island. Even in early October, when many places begin to wind down, Elsa ensured our experience was vibrant, seamless, and completely bespoke.

The Highlights:

The Villa: Elsa sourced a stunning property that was perfectly suited for our group of 10. The layout offered both communal social spaces and total privacy. It was immaculate, and the in-villa services (private chef and housekeeping) were top-tier.

The Reservations: Even with a group of 10, Elsa’s "clout" on the island is unmatched. She secured us the best tables at the top restaurants and beach clubs that were still buzzing. We never had to worry about a thing; our names were on every list perfectly.

The Logistics: From the fleet of luxury vans for our daily transfers to the last-minute requests for spa treatments at the villa, Elsa handled everything with a calm, "can-do" attitude that made our holiday entirely stress-free.

If you are visiting Mykonos with a group and want an insider’s access to the best the island has to offer, Elsa is the only person to call. Her attention to detail and her network are what make Mykonos Exclusive stand out from the rest.

We are already discussing our return for next season!

Date of Experience: July 20, 2025

If you are visiting Mykonos, you quickly realize there are a thousand modern boats for rent, but finding a truly authentic, traditional sailing experience is rare. Through Mykonos Exclusive, Elsa Pakali organized a private cruise for us that was, quite simply, the best day of our entire summer.

The yacht itself was stunning—a beautifully maintained traditional boat that felt like a piece of Greek history, yet offered all the luxury and comfort we could ask for. Sailing on a vessel with such character made the modern motor yachts around us look completely generic.

Elsa’s coordination was flawless. She didn't just book a boat; she curated the entire day. From the personalized catering on board to the secret swimming spots the crew took us to (away from the heavy crowds), every detail was handled with her signature professionalism.

There is a soul to the way Elsa and her partners operate. If you want to experience the "real" Mykonos from the water, skip the standard rentals and let Elsa book you on their traditional yacht. It is an experience in a league of its own.

Amazing host — always responsive and incredibly helpful with anything I needed, especially with all my bookings. I've used her services twice, in 2021 and again in 2025, and each time was a great experience. Highly recommend

Excellent local knowledge, great communication and superb value for money

‏I cannot recommend Elsa highly enough. She single-handedly transformed my stay in Mykonos into an absolutely incredible experience that exceeded every expectation.
‏What sets her apart is her remarkable network of connections throughout the island. She’s not just well-connected – she’s genuinely integrated into the fabric of Mykonos. Whether I needed last-minute reservations at the most sought-after restaurants, access to exclusive beach clubs and parties , or insider tips on hidden gems only locals know about, she delivered effortlessly.
‏Her responsiveness is unmatched. No matter the time of day or how unusual the request, she was always available and eager to help.
‏But beyond her professional capabilities, what truly impressed me was her genuine care and personal touch. She didn’t just provide services – she crafted experiences. Every recommendation felt thoughtfully curated specifically for my preferences and interests. By the end of my stay, I felt like I had gained not just an exceptional concierge, but a dear friend.

Elsa did an amazing job she handled everything beautifully. Boat and staff were great! Overall an amazing experience much recommended!!!

The most professional team ever.

Elsa took care personally of all my group bookings in Mykonos, from the Villa booking, the drivers, the chef, clubbing and other minor details and ensured all was on time for us.

That was just excellent. I don’t have enough words to thank you her the time and deep knowledge of the area.

We can’t wait to come back soon next summer.

By far the best service I have experienced.
Elza and her team know this area better then any one and it showed every day I was there.

If you want a tailored and safe experience that is first class look no further. You will never be disappointed if you chose this service because of how good Elza and her team are.

Mykonos in high season with impossible reservations made hassle and stress free all thanks to Elsa. She accommodated all our requests and changes in plans - always with a smile always with great attitude.

She has taken care of us so well and clearly is well connected on the island. She found us the best deals on helicopter and boat charters too.

Highly recommend booking your holiday with Elsa to make it totally hassle free and enjoyable. Thank you Elsa xxxx

Mykonos Exclusive was wonderful, and Elsa was amazing! She went out of her way to accommodate and look after us. She made sure everything was planned perfectly. She showed us where to go, checked in on us, and made sure we had an amazing time. Most of all, she made us feel incredibly welcome like we were family. Could not have better things to say about her. We had the best time because of her.

We recently worked with Mykonos Exclusive for a home party by the pool, and the experience was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The staff were super friendly and professional, making everyone feel welcome and well taken care of. They were attentive without being intrusive, ensuring that our guests had everything they needed throughout the event. The food was delicious, and the portions were incredibly generous. Overall, Mykonos Exclusive exceeded our expectations in every way. If you're looking for a catering company that combines great food with outstanding service, we highly recommend them and will definitely be using their services many more times in the future.

I’ve used this company a few times to book for parties and restaurants in Mykonos. Even if you plan well in advance, some of the popular places and some of the parties are almost impossible to make bookings for (or even to enter without a booking) if you don’t know the right people.
Not only that this company always get the best tables at the best prices on the busiest evenings, but the manager, Elsa, is an amazing person which provide an excellent top quality service! She makes you feel as if you have your own local well-connected friend in Mykonos who is available for you 24/7, always responsive, give you excellent tips and recommendations and helping you to maximize your Mykonos experience and make it unforgettable.
I totally recommend using them. Worth every euro!!

Great day out sailing with a fantastic team and host! Would definitely recommend to others!

We chartered a Fjord 40 and had a phenomenal experience. The boat was in great condition and perfect for a day outing. Elsa Pakali was very responsive, accommodating, and a pleasure to coordinate with. The captain was very professional and attentive to all our requests. Excellent food, drinks, and snacks were provided.

Our Mykonos villa maintenance arrangements have been dealt with absolutely professionalism.

It is not easy to keep everyone safe and feel like home for a big group and that is changing permanently, staying in Mykonos for 45 days with all possible requests and wishes.

Elsas assistance can be described as :
Welcome to Mykonos with family and friends.
All is Ok :) we are here for you !
With Elsa on spot, it felt like home.

Her experience of Life and passion to make other people happy, is unpayable.

I can't more highly recommend Elsa and
Mykonos is Exclusive for their fantastic work planning our Mykonos trip.
After an email and short phone conversation
Elsa was able to understand exactly what
We're looking for. Our needs and our perspective, rather more- even The budget we have for it.
It is not manageable to make everything perfect for a big group like Ours. 24 people.
Shortly, we had the best tables, unique places, and more important - on a good day.
I highly recommend Elsa, and I m using this opportunity to tell her Nothing more than a “ thank you.”
