REVIVING ANCIENT SYMBOLISMS IN KALESMA MYKONOS

REVIVING ANCIENT SYMBOLISMS IN KALESMA MYKONOS

According to Greek mythology Mykonos materialised in the Aegean from the rocks that Zeus,
King of the Gods, threw into the sea during one of the outbursts he was infamous for. The island
was named after the son of Anius, King of the neighbouring islet, Delos. Besides its regal
heritage, however, Delos was further revered in the ancient world, as the birthplace of sibling
Gods Artemis and Apollo.

This fabled little piece of land among the waves is visible from Kalesma Mykonos’ contemporary
home, its splendid sunrises and sunsets painting the sky in amazing colours. Uniting the
mystiques of two sensational destinations, Mykonos and Delos, Kalesma now stands proud in
Mykonos’ Aleomandra region, named after the sacred Delian stables, which according to myth,
provided shelter for the horses of Apollo. Here resided these noble creatures, enjoying the warm
sun and island breezes, galloping beneath the golden sunlight.

This stirring myth served as the inspiration behind Kalesma Mykonos’ horse emblem in an allegory that forever tethers past and present within the hotel. The connecting threads of symbolism and imagination extend to this minimalist equine shape, a direct nod to the God of music and his beloved horses. The logo is a fresh interpretation of the Cycladic figurines of antiquity, known for their archaic simplicity, enigmatic allure and evocative nature, all elements present within the exquisite hospitality offering of Kalesma Mykonos.

This union of legend and modern charm goes on undisturbed within the hotel’s spaces where unique artifacts further strengthen Kalesma Mykonos’ connection with the island it so proudly inhabits as well as the majestic horses that once roamed here free. It is right here that Kalesma Mykonos proposes pure and genuine “philoxenia” bringing to life an art form whose roots are as old as theisland’s legends.
