On Mykonos, the wind is the defining factor. The Meltemi blows for days during summer with strengths that shift anything light. The architecture responds with low, whitewashed cubes, thick walls, and sheltered courtyards. The furnishings must provide the same answer.
Weight Trumps Appearance
A light chair on Mykonos will not stay long where it was placed. Outdoor furniture needs its own weight or a spot in a wind-sheltered courtyard. Parasols are dangerous without heavy bases. Large planters in a row are the most effective windbreak and simultaneously structure the terrace.
White Needs Texture
Indoors and out, white dominates, complemented by light flooring and abundant light. Color quickly appears loud in this setting, whereas texture remains calm: wicker, coarse fabrics, undyed wood, a rug with texture instead of pattern. Rattan belongs here, for open areas in its weather-resistant version.
Salt and Sun Are Factors
The combination of salty 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.
