A first-time guide to Mykonos

Jun 25, 2024 • 7 min read

Mykonos is known as a party island, but there's plenty more to see and do © Getty Images

Mykonos is the party animal of the Cycladic islands, Greece’s answer to Ibiza, with sun-seekers flocking to the beach clubs by day and bass lines pounding through its superclubs until dawn. But there’s more to Mykonos than the dazzling sand and insatiable revelers.

Spend a little time on  Mykonos  to discover the quiet charm of the Cycladic maze of Hora , the pleasure of traveling the backcountry roads and a dining scene to rival the other Greek islands .

When should I go to Mykonos?

Peak travel time to Mykonos is June to September, so hotel prices are at their highest, and the beaches, restaurants and nightclubs are packed. Summer is party time, with free concerts and events taking place as part of the summer-long Culture Festival, not to mention Xlsior in August, a five-day clubbing festival that attracts some 30,000 gay revelers. Shoulder season (April to early June, late September and October) is arguably a more pleasant time to visit. You get the beaches minus the crowds, and accommodation prices are lower.

In winter, it may be too cold for sunbathing and swimming, but bonuses include empty beaches and plenty of bargain accommodations. Many Mykonos residents rent out their houses in summer and return during the low season, so lots of restaurants stay open year-round. However, winter can bring fierce storms and ferries to other Greek islands are limited.

How much time should I spend on Mykonos?

Ideally, you'd need about four days but you could enjoy it in two. Spend the first day on a beach, explore the shops, restaurants and bars of Little Venice in the late afternoon and on the second day, catch a boat to the sacred island of Delos. With an extra few days you can search out some of Mykonos' further flung and less crowded beaches such as Agios Sostis.

How do I get to Mykonos?

Throughout the year, frequent ferries connect Mykonos with Athens ’ ports of Rafina and Piraeus, as well as the neighboring islands of Tinos , Serifos  and Andros . In high season, high-speed catamarans link Mykonos with numerous other Cycladic islands, including Santorini and Paros . Check OpenSeas  for timetables. Mykonos Airport has year-round flights to Athens and Thessaloniki , as well as to European destinations during high and shoulder seasons. It’s easy to rent a car, moped or ATV from one of Mykonos’ many rental companies, and bus services around the island are reasonably frequent.

Is it easy to get around Mykonos?

Public buses between Hora, the New Port (2km north of Hora, where ferries dock), the airport and south coast beaches run regularly all summer. They are the best way to get around the island. They serve almost every beach and one-way fares range between €1.40 and €2.30. The beaches can also be reached with a 2WD rental car. Except for the main road along the island's spine, access roads to the beaches – even the famous one – can be extremely narrow. You won't find Uber here but taxis are plentiful. The best way to get around is by boat, and reasonably priced water taxis run between the New and Old Ports as well as the major southern beaches. You can get an all-day water taxi pass for €20.

Best beaches on Mykonos

Whether you’re looking for a tiny, secluded cove lapped by cerulean waters or a wide stretch of sugar-white sand covered with sun worshippers, Mykonos has a beach to suit your needs. The island boasts 25 beaches, and they’re justifiably Mykonos' biggest natural attraction. Partygoers should look no further than Paradise or Super Paradise, dominated by eponymous beach clubs.  Paraga and Psarou are other favorites for beach parties. Popular with families,  Elia is Mykonos’ longest sweep of white sand, while Platys Gialos and Kalafatis are particularly good for water sports.

On the north coast, Panormos and Agios Sostis receive a fraction of visitors of the southern beaches and have naturist-friendly sections. Pebbled Myrsine and Fokos ' coves, reachable via rutted tracks off the northeast coast, offer seclusion and refuge from the crowds. In the southwest, Ornos bustles with dozens of seafront restaurants, while secluded Agios Ioannis is a good spot for windsurfing.

Top things to do on Mykonos

• Diving:  Mykonos has plenty of walls, caves and wrecks to entice beginners and advanced divers alike. Diving operators are based on Paradise Beach, Lia Beach and Kalafatis Beach. The most reputable outfits include Mykonos Diving Center  and GoDive Mykonos .
• Historical sites:  Mykonos is the gateway to the sacred island of Delos , the mythical birthplace of Apollo and Aphrodite, a Unesco World Heritage site and one of the most important and well-preserved archaeological sites in Greece. Daily boat trips depart from the pier in Hora.
• Mountain biking:  Mykonos island has a hilly interior, quiet backcountry roads, tranquil villages and several practically deserted beaches along the north coast. Yummy Pedals tailors guided mountain-biking tours of the island to suit your skill level.
• Sunset watching:  Prime spots for watching the greatest free show on earth include the bars of Little Venice in Hora, Kato Mili (a classic quartet of windmills on a hillock overlooking Little Venice) and Agios Ioannis beach.
• Swimming:  Mykonos doesn’t lack places to take a plunge, from infinity pools at top hotels and private plunge pools to 25 beautiful sandy beaches that fringe the island.
• Water sports:  Head to the Windsurf Centre Mykonos on Kalafatis Beach for lessons, or try your hand at adrenaline-packed activities such as flyboarding, wakeboarding and wakeskating with Elia Watersports on the eponymous beach.  

My favorite thing to do on Mykonos

Explore the tiny capital Hora (aka Mykonos Town). It's Mykonos’ second-biggest attraction, after the beaches. You can lose yourself for hours in the enchanting warren of narrow pedestrian streets bedecked with bougainvillea and lined with picture-perfect, tiny churches, restaurants and boutiques. The Archaeological Museum of Mykonos  is well worth your while, as is the informative  Aegean Maritime Museum .

The shopping in Mykonos is excellent. For art, check out Mavrogenous Street. Greek designers line Matogliani, while Little Venice is great for casual fashion, jewelry and sovenirs. Hora’s other delights include an appealing open-air cinema, Cine Manto , and a smattering of quirky art galleries, such as Rarity Gallery and  Art and Soul. The island’s hilly interior is dotted with small traditional villages, quite a contrast to the merry bustle of the coast. Swing by the only other settlement of any size in Mykonos, Ano Mera, and have a look at its pretty, whitewashed Tourliani Monastery , just off the taverna-lined main square.

Best nightlife in Mykonos

How much money do i need for mykonos.

Mykonos is one of the most expensive Greek islands, particularly when it comes to food, alcohol and accommodation. You can keep costs down by avoiding the beach clubs and dining at local markets. Keep an eye out for early afternoon lunch deals at low-key, traditional tavernas. Stock up on local fresh produce like tomatoes, feta cheese, eggplant, zucchini, watermelon, peaches, nectarines and cherries at mini markets and cook at home. If you travel off-season, you'll see a significant decrease in accommodation costs. 

• Mid-range hotel:  €80 - €150 per night off-peak; €180 - €300 per night in summer
• Contemporary hostels:  €30 - €90 per night
• Beach club admission: From €25
• Dinner:  €22 - €40 per person
• Casual lunch:  €10 for a gyro
• Cup of coffee:  €3 
• Cocktail:  €16 - €25
• Bottle of local wine:  €8 - €10 in supermarket; €12 for house wine in restaurant
• Bottle of beer:  €1 - €3 in supermarket; €5 in bar
• Taxi from airport:  €15 - €20 to Fabrika Square in Chora

The Greek island with beautiful views just like Mykonos but without hordes of tourists

A beautiful Greek island located just 20 minutes by boat from Mykonos , its chic neighbour, can boast the same stunning views - and has much fewer tourists to share the beach with.

Tinos allows visitors to mix with the most genuine Hellenic life and to understand what Greece is.

This Cycladic island has more than 60 villages and as many beaches and is an unquestionable gastronomic destination.

The town of Tinos, also called Hora, is the first place you will see when you arrive on the island and is also the main docking port for ships arriving from Athens.

Tinos is mainly renowned for being an important tourist and religious site for Orthodox Greeks as every year thousands of pilgrims go there for the Assumption of the Virgin Mary.

During this pilgrimage, people walk on their knees to the church of Panagia Evangelistria, the most important pilgrimage site for Orthodox Greeks as well as the most emblematic monument of Tinos.

The church, around which the town is developed, is worth a visit for travellers. The neoclassical building is really interesting, with its vast esplanade entirely in white marble.

Following the south coast westwards, visitors immediately come across the village of Kionia, famous for its long and sandy beach, the summer neighbourhood par excellence.

More than a classic village distorted by tourism, Kionia has managed to maintain the pleasant sensation of being only the seaside, relaxed and cosmopolitan counterpart of Tinos city, given that you cannot swim in the latter.

The verdant Karyani and Isternia are two oases of greenery amid a desolate landscape, lime alleys, churches, prickly pears and aromatic herbs.

A few kilometres away is Pyrgos, the capital of marble and sculpture, an artistic tradition that dates back to ancient times.

Marble manufacturing still has many followers and skilled artisans, and many of the inhabitants of the northern part of the island work in the sector.

The local marble industry led to Pyrgos developing its port to transport the material to nearby Panormos.

A magnificent village, all sea and beach and truly picturesque with its fishing boats and taverns, sunset and tamarisk trees that encourage holidaymakers to laze in their shade.

Local products are part of the culture of Tinos - seafood, meat, vines, fruits and vegetables.

Many products have festivals in their honor and don't leave without trying all the local specialties.

As a profoundly authentic Cycladic island , Tinos can claim to be truly self-sufficient when it comes to its produce.

Affordable Island-Hopping in Croatia? What Could Go Wrong?

A 30-percent-off Black Friday sale on a cruise aboard a yacht meant off-season sailing and being prepared for the unexpected.

By Elaine Glusac

Elaine Glusac is the Frugal Traveler columnist, focusing on budget-friendly tips and journeys.

As Croatians tell the story , the Greek hero Odysseus was shipwrecked and held captive on the Croatian island of Mljet. Visiting in May, I and six other sailors embraced the myth when the motor on our 54-foot yacht failed.

“Remember, Odysseus spent seven years on Mljet,” said Ivan Ljubovic, our captain. “We can do two nights.”

In the scheme of things, the clogged fuel filter that impeded our progress on a seven-night, island-hopping cruise from Split to Dubrovnik on a yacht — which the passengers helped sail — was minor. Though an engine, even on a sailboat, is vital for docking and sticking to schedules on becalmed days, most of my shipmates agreed that getting waylaid in a village with Roman ruins on a turquoise bay was an acceptable fate.

I had been resigned to what were, in my mind, worse inconveniences when I had signed up for the trip last November. Then, the tour operator G Adventures had put several trips on sale over the Black Friday weekend. Its best deals were in the off-season, which meant potentially chilly weather and closed restaurants and attractions. But leaving in late April for seven nights of island hopping at roughly $1,300 — after a 30 percent discount — was too tempting to pass up.

My cousin Kim agreed and we made plans to pack rain gear and meet in Split to test the budget waters.

‘Everything between is an adventure’

Little about the itinerary was published pre-departure and none of it was firm.

“Split and Dubrovnik are fixed,” said the captain, who would pilot the ship solo and double as our guide, on our first day. “Everything between is an adventure.”

It started with the Sauturnes, a handsome Kufner yacht with four snug guest cabins, four economical bathrooms where the retractable faucet doubled as a shower spigot, and a spacious galley. Our “crew,” a mix of Australians and Americans ranging from 18 to 75 — all of whom had also jumped on the promotional pricing — spent most of the time atop the boat, where foam mattresses invited sunbathing and a cockpit awning provided shade.

The weather, which turned out to be sunny and comfortably cool, was not our greatest concern. The G Adventures website had mentioned well-known islands, including beachy Brac and Vis , which played a convincing Greek idyll in the movie “Mamma Mia 2.” But since many places would be closed in the shoulder season, we would proceed, according to the captain, based on the dictates of the weather and conditions on shore.

Meals were not included, which meant finding open restaurants was critical. For shipboard breakfasts and lunches, we each chipped in 50 euros (about $54) for communal groceries, which we shopped for at local markets. At night, we would dine at restaurants; G Adventures advised budgeting $250 to $325 for the week, which was accurate, though we often splurged on Croatian wine (a carafe of house red averaged $15).

Small ports

After the frenzy of grocery shopping and moving into the bunk-bedded cabin Kim and I shared, we experienced the Zen of sailing as the ship set off on a sunny morning for 43-mile-long Hvar , the longest and purportedly sunniest island in Croatia.

Neighboring islands drifted past as the wind patterned the sea in shifting ripples and ruffles. A flock of shearwaters soared by at eye level.

Within a few hours, the ridgelines of steep Hvar appeared, revealing terraced lavender fields and olive orchards. Motoring down a long, narrow inlet, we arrived in Stari Grad , a village of stone homes with terra cotta roof tiles, as travelers had since 384 B.C., when Greek sailors from the island of Paros settled here.

Our mooring provided a front-row view of fishing boats and cafes animating the waterfront. Stari Grad’s attractions, including the Greek ruins of Faros and a 17th-century Venetian cathedral, had yet to open for the season, but we relished exploring the old quarter’s narrow lanes and deserted plazas.

From the waterfront, an aerobic 20-minute hike up a steep hill crowned by a giant white cross offered views over Stari Grad and the plains beyond, a UNESCO World Heritage Site of fourth-century agricultural fields, with stone walls circumscribing grapevines and olive orchards.

That evening, we visited them to reach Konoba Kokot , a farm restaurant that specializes in “peka,” a kind of barbecue in which meat cooks under an iron lid piled with hot coals. The family that runs it opened in the preseason, welcoming us with bracing shots of rakija, a local herbal liquor. At a long table under an arbor, we gorged on homemade goat cheese, wild boar pate and, from the hearth, roast lamb, veal and octopus with limitless jugs of red and white wine for 35 euros a person.

Starry nights

Small ships are unmatched at getting into small ports, but a yacht trip is also a little like camping, starting most mornings with D.I.Y. instant coffee. Marinas offered free bathhouses with showers.

Cool temperatures apparently deterred the celebrity-filled mega yachts, which are known to anchor in the town of Hvar on the south shore of Hvar island. Our captain declared it the “Mykonos of Croatia” as we motored by the port bustling with visitors carrying shopping bags and cones of gelato.

With clear weather in the forecast, we moored in an undeveloped cove east of town. The mooring belonged to the owners of Moli Onte restaurant, who ferried us to land on a motorized dingy, allowing us enough time before dinner to visit the fortress above Hvar and have an Ozujsko beer on St. Stephens Square, the largest in the region of Dalmatia.

Back on board, with no artificial light to wash out the night sky, we hit the upper deck for stargazing. As my shipmates peeled off to bed, I grabbed a blanket and beanie and bedded down under the stars for the evolving show, periodically waking to catch the drama of the moon rising, reflected in the still water.

Little Dubrovnik

Fingers of gray rock reached down to meet sloping vineyards along Hvar’s south coast as we departed for its neighbor, Korcula. On our longest day of sailing, five hours, I welcomed the chance to play first mate, manning the lines on the jib sail.

To break up the trip, Captain Ljubovic navigated to a quiet cove off the Peljesac Peninsula where the Caribbean-blue waters, cloudless sky and sandy bottom convinced us to jump in despite numbing sea temperatures.

Fifteenth-century walls ring the historic center of Korcula, earning it the nickname “Little Dubrovnik.” Past the stone gates carved with a winged lion representing the empire of Venice, which controlled much of the Adriatic after the 13th century, narrow alleys led to ornate churches and mansions. There was no better history trip than getting lost in the web of pedestrian lanes. Or so we told ourselves as we passed the purported home of Marco Polo, still closed preseason.

Along the seafront walls, restaurants served pizza and seafood under lights strung in the pines and we caught sunset from a former turret, now converted into Massimo Cocktail Bar , which requires patrons to climb a ladder to the rooftop, a caution against second rounds.

The most romantic port of the trip was also the rowdiest, at least in the marina, which was hosting a Polish sailing regatta. When I headed for the showers at 6 a.m. the next morning, I found a group still cheerfully dancing atop a yacht littered in empty booze bottles and crushed potato chips.

Marooned on Mljet

We left Korcula on strong 20-knot “jugo” or south winds and Captain Ljubovic unleashed the sails, saying “You paid for a sailing vacation, not a motorboat.”

As we tacked back and forth toward Mljet , the boat heeled at a queasy angle and we took face shots of ocean spray.

On Mljet, where the western end of the island is home to Mljet National Park , we rented bikes (10 euros) to ride a lung-busting route over the park’s mountain spine. On the other side, we cycled around a pair of inland lakes and took a boat trip to a 12th-century monastery built on an island in one of them (park admission, 15 euros).

Docked in the still sleepy town of Polace, we heard tales of high season, when up to 100 yachts anchor in the bay and members of the band U2 were once seen biking in the park. After a brief shower, the town glimmered at sunset and the restaurant Stella Maris welcomed us with grilled sea bass (25 euros) and prawns (20 euros).

“I’m so glad I chose this time, because I don’t do crowds,” said my shipmate Nova Hey, 46, of Sydney, who was traveling with her 18-year-old daughter.

In the morning, I had the trail to the peak of Montokuc to myself. The roughly three-mile round-trip hike reached one of the highest points on the island, a rocky knob with stunning panoramas shared by a family of feral goats.

Not long thereafter, the Sauternes’ engine refused to turn over, stranding us in a national park on a remote island with no mechanics.

Teeming Dubrovnik

The next morning, Captain Ljubovic jimmied a fix but it didn’t last long and the engine died again, this time just opposite a cave on Mljet that we joked had to be the refuge of Odysseus.

After a morning of light sailing, a mechanic from the mainland arrived by speedboat and within an hour we were motoring toward the Franjo Tudman Bridge that spans the inlet to the Dubrovnik marina where hot showers awaited.

“Dubrovnik is the most expensive city in Croatia,” said Captain Ljubovic as we spent the last of our pooled money, 70 euros, hiring a taxi van to get us to and from the walled heart of the ancient city about 15 minutes away.

With two large cruise ships in port, Dubrovnik was teeming with visitors and the price to climb the stone walls that encircle the city was a sticker-shocking 35 euros. (In the ensuing two days Kim and I would spend post-cruise in the city, we bought the more comprehensive Dubrovnik Pass for 35 euros that included admission to the walls as well as several museums and public bus transportation.)

On our final evening, we measured the lack of crowds versus closed museums; perfect hiking weather versus swim-inviting water; ample dock space versus more restaurant choices — and felt we’d come out ahead sailing in the bargain season.

Delos Trip Information

The island of Delos is a small archaeological and historical pearl near the center of the Cyclades archipelago. It is a barren island that does not exceed an area of 3.5 square kilometers. The landscape of Delos, characteristic of the Cyclades, is without vegetation but with mount Cynthus, a name that holds since antiquity, under which stretches the sanctuary dedicated to Apollo and his sister Artemis, with the Hellenistic city around.

With the nearest island Mykonos followed by Tinos and Syros, Delos is one of the most important archaeological, historical and mythological sites in Greece, as it was a holy sanctuary for already a millennium before Olympian Greek mythology made it the birthplace of Apollo and Artemis.

From a geological point of view, Delos is said to have been created by some volcanic activity where it emerged to the surface. The name from mythical times is etymologically derived from the ancient Greek verb “δηλόω” which means, obvious, or manifested, clear, bright, something that confirms the hypothesis of sudden emergence or revelation!

Delos has been inhabited since the 3rd millennium BC. By the writing of the Odyssey, the island was already famous as the birthplace of the twin gods Apollo and Artemis. Despite its decline after 166 BC, when the Romans converted the island into a free port, Delos maintained some population in the early Roman Imperial period. Delos was eventually abandoned around the 8th century AD. In 1990, UNESCO inscribed Delos on the World Heritage List, citing it as a “exceptionally extensive and rich” archaeological site which “conveys the image of a great cosmopolitan Mediterranean port”.

Greeks used the proverb “ᾌδεις ὥσπερ εἰς Δῆλον πλέων”, meaning you sing as if sailing into Delos in reference to someone who is happy, light-hearted and enjoying himself.
