In 1995 the Belvedere was built around the structure of an existing 18th-century mansion, and designed with elements of the surrounding Cycladic architecture. The Belvedere sits at the height of Rohari hill, just five minutes walking distance from the most glamorous and cosmopolitan street of Mykonos.
