Editorial Methodology

How places earn a page or recommendation in Mykonos Guide

The site does not publish raw scraped lists or generic city inventory. Each public Mykonos page is built from source verification, editorial fit, and practical usefulness. A place should earn a real role in the trip, not just qualify for a category.

Mykonos Guide Editorial Desk

Independent Mykonos, Greece travel publisher. The methodology favors clarity, source quality, and public usefulness over maximum coverage.

Selection

The filters that matter before something goes live

A Mykonos place usually needs to pass more than one test before it becomes a visible page, let alone a recommendation.

Role Fit

It needs a real job in the trip

We look for clear roles: breakfast anchor, destination dinner, downtown hotel base, neighborhood fallback, or daytime stop that improves the whole weekend.

Source Quality

Official sources first

Business-controlled or official sources are preferred whenever possible for location, contact, operating context, and other core factual details.

Guide Utility

It should make decisions easier

A place should reduce decision noise. If it adds clutter without improving what the reader can actually decide, it is not a strong public fit yet.

Verification

What gets checked before a page is trusted

The public site is built on normalized data, but the underlying checks stay tied to real sources, review windows, and correction paths.

Core Facts

Address, contact, and location

Each live business record should have a stable identity, address, website, phone path, and freshness metadata before it is trusted as a public page.

Guide Support

Sources behind the recommendation

Guides should cite the checked sources that support the role they assign to a place, especially when that role shapes where someone stays, eats, or spends time.

Review Window

Nothing is assumed permanent

Mykonos restaurants and hotels change. Freshness windows exist so that facts can be revisited rather than treated as permanently correct.

Editorial Boundary

How editorial and commercial contact stay separate

A public publisher should explain this line clearly, not bury it behind generic support language.

Recommendation

Editorial inclusion is earned

A business is recommended because it improves the Mykonos product, not because it started a support or partnership conversation.

Corrections

Updates do not buy placement

Factual corrections, official source updates, and partnership outreach can improve data quality, but they do not guarantee editorial recommendation.

Truth

Better to remove than fake certainty

If a fact or a role cannot be supported honestly, it should be corrected, generalized, or removed rather than left looking fresh by default.

Corrections

How updates and fixes should happen

If a listing is incomplete, inaccurate, or out of date, corrections should be sent through the public contact path with the page URL and the official source that should be checked.

Contact

Reach the publisher directly

For corrections, partnership questions, or publisher contact, use [email protected]. If the request concerns a listed business, include the page URL, your role, and the official source to review.
