Holiday like a footballer in Mykonos with deals from £489pp

WHEN it comes to footballers’ favourite holiday destinations, Mykonos is definitely near the top of the list.

So far this year, Real Madrid’s Thibaut Courtois and Chelsea’s Jorginho have both been spotted on the island.

And last year, Jack Grealish, Raheem ­Sterling and Kyle Walker were all pictured soaking up the sunshine in the holiday hotspot.

It’s not surprising given that Mykonos is known for its bars and clubs as well as a chilled vibe and luxury hotels.

Holidaying on the island isn’t always cheap though, and you’ll want to book as far in advance as possible.

If you’re looking for something later this year, we’ve found a couple of deals with Jet2 Holidays.

You can stay for 7 nights at the 4* , which is close to the local town centre.

During the day, chill out by the beach – the hotel has private access to its own stretch of sandy coastline – or access the sister hotel’s pool.

And at night, it’s just a short walk to local bars and restaurants.

For departure from Manchester on October 9, you’ll pay £489pp and stay at the hotel on a B&B basis.

Checked luggage and coach transfers are included in the price.

If you’re looking to splash out somewhere near Mykonos Town, why not check out ?

The 4* property has panoramic views from its pool area and there are lots of daybeds where you can lounge around and relax.

There are plenty of local bars and restaurants nearby, and it’s a 10 minute walk to the clubs in town.

The hotel is in high demand so 7 nights there on a room-only basis will set you back £1,021pp, with flights from Manchester on October 2.

Checked luggage and transfers are included too.
