Mykonos Travel Guide

Mykonos was once known as The Island of the Winds. These days, it’s more like The Party Island. If you enjoy a lively nightlife, or you’re interested in classical archaeology, or you’re fascinated by Greek language and culture, you’ll have a wonderful time on this beautiful island.

There are many things to see and do around Mykonos, and you’re certain to enjoy your visit. I wrote this travel guide to help you do just that.

Airports & Entry

There are 2 ways to reach Mykonos island: by airplane or by ferry from Athens or another island.

Mykonos Airport is small but growing busier every year. In 2018 the airport handled 1.4 million passengers, and this year is even busier. The management company in charge of the airport plans to expand the terminal building, increasing the airport’s size 50% by 2021.

At the moment, the terminal is small and offers basic facilities. It opens mid-morning and closes at 6 pm daily. The Information Desk is in the main terminal.

You’ll find mobile charging points outside the security checkpoint, and there’s free Wi-Fi throughout the airport. If you’re traveling with your baby, you’ll find baby care rooms for diaper-changing and breastfeeding.

There is a selection of shops, including Duty-Free, and 3 snack bars operated by On Time Coffee & More. ATMs can be found in Departures Landside, Arrivals Landside, and Airside. Currency exchange is provided by OneXchange in Arrivals Landside.

The airport is only 2½ miles from Chora, so getting into town is easy. Many hotels offer a free shuttle service, and there are regular public buses run by Mykonos Bus to Chora and surrounding areas. Tickets can be obtained on the bus.

If you prefer the freedom of driving your own car, airport vehicle rentals are operated by Sixt, Hertz, Avis/Budget, and Avance. Alternatively, you can catch a taxi outside the terminal building, and the fare to Chora is around €15.

Many visitors to Mykonos arrive by ferry. You can travel from Athens to Old Mykonos Harbor (Chora) for around €29 (one way) on a slow, 4½-hour ferry or take a faster 2½-hour ferry for around €45-€60 (depending upon which ferry company you opt for).

3 ferry companies operate regular ferries from Athens to Mykonos. Blue Star Ferries cross 16 times every week, Sea Jets 14 times, and Golden Star Ferries 7 times. Golden Star appears to offer the most competitive rates, but they also operate the fewest ferry runs.

Mykonos is also a popular stop-off for Mediterranean cruises. Most of these dock at the New Port of Tourlos rather than Old Mykonos Harbor.

Planning Tips

Mykonos is an increasingly popular destination, and you’ll have great fun there. Here are 5 tips I hope will help you enjoy your stay.

Tip #1: Pack a sweater or light jacket, even in summer

Although Mykonos is sunny all through spring, summer, and fall, the island is famous for its strong winds. There’s a reason there are so many windmills around Chora!

When it’s windy, you’ll need a sweater or light jacket to ward off the chill. Also, people with long hair should be prepared to tie it or cover it when the wind gets too strong.

Tip #2: Book tickets in advance, especially during summer

Mykonos is a popular destination in high season, and tours often sell out. Book in advance to avoid disappointment. Many tour operators offer refunds when tours are canceled with reasonable notice. But ensure you check the refund policy when you book.

Tip #3: Go when it’s best for you

If you’re going to Mykonos for the nightlife, July and August are the months when the internationally acclaimed DJs appear in the larger clubs around the island. That’s also when you’ll find the beaches crowded with young and unmarried people out looking for fun.

However, if you’re more interested in the culture or the archaeology, then April and May are great. The weather is fine, and the streets are not so crowded.

Tip #4: Go to the best beach for you

There are many beautiful and popular beaches around the island. Some are integrated into the nightlife and packed with teenagers and young adults wearing very little. Others are magnets for family groups with young children. But there are also quiet, sheltered coves for those who like to sunbathe without an audience.

Agios Sostis, for example, is a secluded beach on the northern coast. It is unspoiled, and you won’t see any parasols or beach chairs. It’s long, and there’s a nudist colony on one end. You can easily find a private area to escape the crowds. But be aware that there are no bars here, so bring your own food and water.

Tip #5: Carry some cash

Small shops and tavernas in Greece often don’t take credit cards, so be prepared to take cash when you go out for the evening. It won’t be a problem in the larger clubs, but occasionally you’ll find that even busy restaurants don’t take cash.

Restaurants & Eating Out

The traditional food in Mykonos is typical of delicious Mediterranean cuisine but with a few dishes exclusive to the island. You can find traditional tavernas dotted all around the island, especially on the waterfront in Chora.

Meals typically begin with appetizers called mezes. These are small dishes of hot or cold snacks with dips. Mykonians like to eat mezes while sipping ouzo, the popular Greek anise liquor.

A popular meze on Mykonos is kopanisti served on wet rusks and topped with olive oil and tomato. Kopanisti is a peppery, fermented cheese made from goat’s, ewe’s, or cow’s milk. It is stored in brine and has a creamy texture and strong taste.

Mykonians also love horiatiki salata (Greek salad). In their salads, you’ll find cucumbers, red onions, tomatoes, olives, and spicy shallots. These are often splashed with olive oil and sprinkled with feta cheese.

A popular, oven-baked main dish is moussaka. This is mincemeat layered with eggplant and covered with bechamel sauce. Moussaka can be seasoned with cinnamon and nutmeg.

Many Mykonians enjoy pastitsio, which is sometimes called Greek lasagna. This is an oven-baked dish consisting of layers of pasta, tomato sauce, and ground beef, topped with bechamel sauce.

Fast food outlets along the beaches often serve gyros. These consist of pita bread stuffed with spit-roasted meat and vegetables served with yogurt.

My favorite Mykonian dish is louza. This is thin slices of sun-dried pork prepared with pepper, salt, and spices. The local pork sausages are renowned for their high lean meat content. These delicious sausages are seasoned with oregano, pepper, and salt and are also sun-dried.

For dessert, kalathaki are popular almond cakes made from flour, almonds, eggs, butter, and cinnamon. They are rich and deliciously aromatic. Another almond-based treat is amygdalota, which are crushed almond sweets.

Like anywhere in Greece, baklava are found in all the bakeries. These are filo dough pastries filled with chopped pistachios or almonds.

Nightlife & Entertainment

Mykonos is renowned for its lively and LGBT-friendly nightlife and wild beach parties. In fact, this dynamic island is often called the Ibiza of Greece.

You can find traditional bars, sophisticated cocktail lounges, live music venues, and popular nightclubs that stay open past dawn. With some clubs offering drag queen shows and others night-long beach parties, there’s something for everyone in the party island.

For a quiet but enjoyable evening, head to Little Venice. Here you’ll find atmospheric bars with panoramic views over the sea from where you can admire the sunset. For example, the Montparnasse Piano Bar is a live music venue noted for its refreshing cocktails, live music, and popularity with LGBT tourists.

Heading inland from Little Venice to the center of Mykonos Town (Chora), you find a labyrinth of tiny alleyways packed with whitewashed houses and lively bars. Around one of the little squares, you’ll find several buildings joined together to form the Skandinavian Bar .

This is a great place for tourists and young people to begin the evening before moving on to the nightclubs that don’t open until late. This popular venue boasts 2 bars and an upstairs dancefloor, where partygoers dance to a variety of music from rock to contemporary dance tunes.

But it’s the beach bars and nightclubs where the diehard clubbers go dancing until dawn. The 3 beaches where you’ll find the liveliest venues are Super Paradise Beach, Paradise Beach (a little west of Super Paradise Beach), and Psarrou Beach.

On Super Paradise Beach, you’ll find what’s regarded by many as the best gay bar in Mykonos— Jackie O’s . This popular cocktail bar is literally on the beach and is famous for its ebullient drag queen shows.

On Paradise Beach, you can dance the whole night long at the most famous nightclub on the island— Paradise Club . Here is where partygoers gather to dance to rock, techno, and house played by internationally renowned DJs.

The club consists of 3 spacious rooms and a large swimming pool where themed parties draw in the large crowds of clubbers.

On Psarrou Beach, the exclusive beach bar Nammos Mykonos attracts the wealthy and well-connected. Here is where the Champagne flows and supermodels sip cocktails.

Getting Around

Mykonos is one of the smallest Cyclades Islands, measuring only 7½ miles by 9 miles. If you’re a keen hiker, you’ll be able to walk anywhere in 2 hours or less. And if you don’t want to walk, there are public transport options to get you anywhere within 15 minutes or so.

Walking is the easiest way to get around, especially in Mykonos (Chora). Because Chora is listed as an architectural landmark, motorized vehicles are prohibited in the town. That means walking is your only option for many of the attractions.

You’ll probably get lost in the labyrinth of ancient streets in Chora, but that’s part of the character of the island. Most locals are friendly and speak enough English to give directions.

Buses are the next easiest option. There are 3 bus depots, 2 in the northern part of Chora around Old Port and 1 in the southern part of Chora, called Fabrica.

The public buses are operated by Mykonos Bus , and the fares are low. The bus company operates more services during high season, and you can pay on the bus or book in advance.

If you plan to pay on the bus, make sure you have plenty of change. The driver will request exact change for the fare.

Because Chora is pedestrianized, there is no bus service to connect the northern stations and Fabrica Bus Station. Walking between them takes around 20 minutes.

The northern stations run bus services to northern destinations, like Ano Mera, Panormos, and Kalafatis. Fabrica Station runs bus services to southern destinations, like Platis Gialos, Peraga, Paradise, and Super Paradise.

Taxis are an option and, because Mykonos is so small, won’t be expensive. However, there are only around 30 taxis on the island.

That means that during high season, you’ll be waiting longer for a taxi than you will for a bus! In fact, you might be able to walk to your destination before the taxi reaches your starting point.

The main taxi stand in Chora is behind the Cosmote Building. There’s also a stand outside Fabrica Bus Station. Taxis are metered, but you’ll find a list of standard rates to common destinations on notice boards beside the taxi stands.

You can call for a radio taxi on 00302 2890 22400 or 00302 2890 23700. You’ll pay a booking supplement for booking in advance like this.

During high season, “water taxis” operate between the main southern beaches, which are the most popular beaches on the island. These run more like a bus service than a taxi service, departing from Platis Gialos Beach about once an hour from 10:20 am to 4:20 pm and going to Agrari, Elia, Paradise, Pranga, and Super Paradise. Return tickets are around €10, or you can buy a day pass for around €20.

It’s possible to rent a car or motorcycle to explore the island. Because of high season traffic, pedestrianized areas, and extreme parking problems, you’ll generally find motorcycles much easier to use. But I wouldn’t recommend either. You can get a bus to most places, and it’s only a short walk from the nearest bus stop to any attraction.

Accommodations

Because Mykonos is a popular destination for nightlife lovers and history lovers alike, there are more hotel rooms than inhabitants on this small island. Every beach has a resort hotel or two, so you can stay literally anywhere along the coast.

The 3 most popular places to stay are Mykonos Town (Chora), Ornos, and Platis Gialos. To be honest, given how quickly you can get from one town to another by bus, you can stay in any one and easily visit the others.

Chora boasts the best shopping, most of the restaurants, and fantastic nightlife. It’s where you’ll find the main luxury hotels, like the Belvedere Mykonos Hotel , but also where you’ll find most of the backpackers’ hostels.

It’s common for the main settlement on a Greek island to bear the same name as the island, so the main town on Mykonos is called Mykonos Town. However, in Greek the word for “town” is “chora”, so most locals call Mykonos Town Chora to avoid confusion.

The capital of Mykonos is a picturesque labyrinth of narrow, pedestrianized alleyways lined with whitewashed houses and pretty flowers. Around Chora’s historic center, you’ll find luxury hotels, guesthouses, bars, and restaurants.

The waterfront in the area of Chora called Little Venice is dotted with traditional tavernas. Chora has 2 main shopping streets, where you’ll find the high-end art and fashion stores as well as tourist souvenir stores.

Ornos Beach is one of the most popular on the island. Just two miles south of Chora, this town is dotted with quaint guesthouses and boutique hotels, like the Kivotos Mykonos Hotel .

The white sand beach is home to half-a-dozen seafood tavernas, and the calm, shallow bay is perfect for families with children.

Platis Gialos

If you want trendy beach bars, a low-key nightlife, and plenty of restaurants, Platis Gialos is the place you want to be. It’s 2½ miles south of Chora and 3 miles east of Ornos Beach.

Its white sand and pristine water make Platis Gialos the most popular water sports beach in Mykonos. This is where you’ll find people kayaking, flyboarding, and stand-up paddleboarding.

You’ll also find a good selection of budget hotels in Platis Gialos, like the popular Hotel Petinos . Although it’s not right next to the sea, it’s only a short walk from the beach. It’s a great value hotel for family holidays.

Mykonos boasts a Mediterranean climate with 300 sunny days a year. With sunny summers and mild winters, it’s a great destination any time of the year.

The best period for family holidays is between June and September. That’s when it’s the sunniest, and the sea is the perfect temperature for swimming.

For sightseeing, come anytime between April and October. Not only is the weather great for visiting attractions and other islands, but that’s the time when most businesses are open and regular ferries sail between the islands.

In summer, it’s hot, sunny, and dry. In July, average temperatures range from 71 0 F to 83 0 F. It remains sunny in the fall, but the rainy season begins in November.

Mykonian winters are mild. Snow is rare and doesn’t settle. By December, average temperatures range from 52 0 F to 61 0 F. It’s coldest in February, with average temperatures from 47 0 F to 56 0 F.

Spring sees the end of the rainy season in March, and the days grow warmer between April and June. The average temperatures in April range from 54 0 F to 64 0 F.

Attractions

For a tiny island with only 10,134 inhabitants, there are an amazing number of things to see and do. Whether your interest is archaeology, scenery, or water sports, you’ll have fun in Mykonos.

Chora (Mykonos Town) is reputed to be one of the best-preserved historic towns among the Greek islands. It’s a great place to take your camera, because there’s a photo opportunity along every ancient alleyway of picturesque, white-washed buildings.

The white, cube-shaped houses have bright wooden doors and window frames and are decorated with colorful flower boxes and hanging baskets. And the churches are something else!

The Church of Panagia Paraportiani in the Kastro neighborhood is one of the most photographed churches in the world. Dating back to 1425, it is actually five separate churched that are joined together to form one huge, white-washed, and extremely photogenic structure.

However, for most visitors to Chora, the 16 th -century windmills overlooking the town dominate the landscape. These 7 windmills are known as the Kato Myloi (Lower Windmills) and stand together on a windswept hill. From the hilltop, you get panoramic views of Chora.

Little Venice is another scenic neighborhood of Chora. Like the windmills, the houses here were built when Mykonos was a Venetian colony. The area is called Little Venice because these historic buildings, built right against the sea and with overhead balconies, resemble merchants’ houses in Venice.

If you want to see more of the island, check out Ano Mera Village. This quiet settlement is a great example of Greek island life and a stark contrast to the huge party hotels on the beaches and vibrant nightlife in Chora.

The most photographed building in Ano Mera is the 16 th -century Panagia Tourliani Monastery. This fascinating structure stands in the village square and is a great place to admire traditional church wood carvings and embroidery.

But one of the biggest attractions in Mykonos isn’t even on the island. Many people interested in ancient history and archaeology come here because it’s the gateway to another much smaller and uninhabited island called Delos.

Delos is one of the most interesting archaeological sites in Greece and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The grand temples here were dedicated to Artemis and Apollo, who were both believed to have been born on the island.

Because the island has been uninhabited during modern times, the ruined villas, theaters, and temples of the ancient city are virtually undisturbed. That’s why it’s one of the richest archaeological sites in the world.

What an experience! Private and luxury touring with this boat was superb. The food was the best meal we ate! Pickup and drop-off included in the tour price. I will sail with these guys again if I ever make my way back to Mykonos.

This was probably the most magical moment of our trip to Mykonos! We were so excited and in awe of the island. We were picked up from our hotel by a very friendly driver and were taken to the dock where we met our captain and his assistant.

Excellent!! Due to the covid situation, we were asked to meet by a tavern at the port and we were promptly set sail. We visited the ruins first before taking the boat to a beach which was empty and with clear waters! The captains mastered the windy seas brilliantly. Lunch consisted of pasta, prawns, and salad.

Brilliant cruise highly recommend to anyone visiting the island. We visited delos were we went for a swim and had lunch and wine. We then sailed through little venice watching the sunset all around great experience.

Visiting Delos from Mykonos

Greece › Mykonos › Delos Tours Updated: September 26, 2022 By Santorini Dave

• Best Hotels in Mykonos • Best Family Hotels in Mykonos • Where to Stay in Mykonos • Best Things To Do in Mykonos • Mykonos Travel Guide

The Stone Lions of Delos. A guided tour to Delos is one of the highlights of a Mykonos visit.

The 3 Best Delos Tours from Mykonos for 2023 Guided Boat Tour to Delos Excellent tour of Delos with professional guide. The tour leaves from the Old Port in Mykonos Town but if you’re staying outside of Mykonos Town or at one of the beaches then select with Hotel Transfer as it makes the day much easier. There’s also a semi-private tour for groups of 2 to 10 – select Private Group Guided Tour for this option. Boat Tour to Delos and Rhenia Island This is a great tour for those who would like to see Delos, but don’t want to spend hours there. It takes you to beautiful Rhenia island for swimming, snorkeling, and a bbq lunch (onboard). Then to Delos for a short, guided tour when the island is usually much quieter than in the morning. Highly recommended. Guided Delos Tour from Cruise Ship Port If you’re on a cruise and have a limited amount of time, this Delos tour offers pickup and dropoff at the cruise ship port in Mykonos. Delos, Greece In ancient times, Delos was the most important island in the southern Aegean. The Cyclades island group actually gets its name from the fact that the islands form a circle around Delos. Mykonos, by comparison, was considered poor with limited agricultural prospects. A holy island, Delos is the mythical birthplace of Artemis and Apollo, and women were once forbidden from giving birth there; instead, women were ferried to Mykonos for the labor and delivery of their children.

The UNESCO World Heritage Site on the small island of Delos is one of the best-preserved and most important archaeological sites in Greece. First settled by the Greeks around 3000 BC, the island became a shrine to Apollo around 800 BC and a thriving, multicultural center of trade in the centuries that followed, with Syrians and Egyptians adding shrines of their homeland gods to the existing Greek ones. Under the Romans, Delos became a duty-free port and important slave market, but the island’s importance diminished as trade routes shifted and by 300 AD the island was languishing in obscurity, used as a hideout by pirates. Delos is accessible by boat from Mykonos. Use your imagination to transform these extensive, well-preserved ruins into the gleaming city that once stood here. As you make your way around the ruins from the Sacred Harbor, where the tour boats dock, sights not to miss include the Sanctuary of Apollo, lined with the remains of three temples dedicated to the god, the Artemision – a sanctuary of Artemis, Apollo’s twin sister, and the Terrace of Lions, lined with the much-photographed replica lion statues. (The actual lions can be found within the site’s small but interesting museum, located near the center of the island.) Nearby is the overgrown Sacred Lake where Leto gave birth to Apollo and Artemis after hiding from the wrath of Hera, Zeus’ wife, Zeus being the twins’ father. In the Theater Quarter, formerly home to Delos’ wealthiest inhabitants, spot the mosaic depicting the wine god Dionysos riding a panther at the House of Dionysos, and another superb mosaic featuring lions, dolphins and griffins at the House of Dolphins. If you have time, it’s well worth climbing Mt Mynthos for great views of the surrounding islands and to visit the Sanctuaries of Zeus and Athena.

Visiting Delos from Mykonos There are generally four boats daily from Mykonos Town (Chora) to Delos during high season, with departures from 9am to 5pm. Return boats run between 12.15pm and 8pm. There are fewer boats from November to March. The boat trip between Mykonos and Delos takes about 30-40 minutes, and you can buy tickets from the kiosk at the southern end of Mykonos Town harbor. When purchasing tickets, find out which return boats they’re valid for. Boat tickets are 20€ round trip, and do not include the entrance fee to Delos Island, which is 12€, paid at the site entrance. Delos Island boat schedule, pricing information, and online booking Visitors to Delos are given a map outlining three self-guided walking tours. Depending on which one you opt for, these take from 90 minutes to five hours, so it’s best to decide in advance how much time you’d like to spend on the island. You can purchase detailed Delos guidebooks both at the Delos ticket office and in bookstores on Mykonos. Guided tours can be booked at the same time as the boat tickets (adult/child 55/30€ including boat, entrance fee, and guide). Wear a hat, sunscreen, and good walking shoes. The only place to eat is a basic café at the Delos museum; it’s worth bringing a picnic lunch and plenty of drinking water. A guided tour of Delos is recommended. Without a guide it’s just a collection of ruins without much meaning or context. With a guide it’s a very interesting introduction to Greek history. Delos from Mykonos

This map shows how vast and well-developed the island’s infrastructure was in ancient times.

After arriving on Delos and paying admission, you are free to explore across the entire island.

There are ruins everywhere on Delos, and few signs; it can be difficult to know exactly what you’re looking at. Taking a guided tour is recommended.

Even without a tour, it is fun and interesting to imagine the homes and buildings as they existed long ago.

Keeping watch over the island’s ruins, the famous stone lions seen here are only replicas.

The original statues are displayed and kept safe inside the island’s small museum.

In addition to the stone lions, the Delos Museum also houses original mosaics from the island…

…as well as ancient frescoes…

and artifacts from the island’s original excavation. There is no additional charge to visit the museum.

Even at its busiest, there’s plenty of room on Delos, and on the more remote parts of the island it can feel like you’ve got the whole place to yourself.

In the springtime, Delos is abloom with wildflowers. These photos were taken in the month of April.

(Yes, those statues are exactly what they appear to be. In Ancient Greece, phalluses symbolized fertility and were thought to protect against evil spirits.)

It’s important to keep track of the time, so you don’t miss the boat back to Mykonos. We don’t know what happens if you’re left behind on the island, and we don’t recommend finding out.

About Santorini Dave

We are going to be in Mykonos the first week of October and will have a rental car to get us to the port. Should we book the tour ahead of time or just head over to the port when we get there to book a tour?

Personally, I would book in advance but could you show up without a reservation? Sure, and you’d likely be fine.

Is the Old Port walking distance from Mykonos Town? We’re staying at the Belvedere. Thanks!

Yes, the Old Port is an easy walk from all Mykonos Town hotels. From the Belvedere it’s about a 10 or 12 minute walk (assuming you don’t have luggage).
