Mykonos island is not only for VIPs, as many think.

​

Mykonos is for anyone who wants to spend the day on the golden sand and swim in the crystal blue water. 

 

Explore Chora (the main town), and take hundreds of stunning pictures in little alleys among whitewashed houses. There are so many things to do in Mykonos that you won't have time to do them all.

​

To choose how many days you need in Mykonos, think of why you want to visit it in the first place.

 

You can plan a day trip to Mykonos from Santorini or the other islands nearby by ferry to see the main town Chora, but if you want to explore more, I think three days in Mykonos are enough if you rent a car to explore and move freely.

​

In my Mykonos Guide, you will find everything you need to know to make your Mykonian holiday the best of your life.

​

From the most Luxury Hotels to the Stylish but budget ones.

From the Greek tavernas where locals go to eat to the most amazing restaurants with sea views. From the best beaches to the best spots for sunset, guys, I got you covered on everything!

Is Mykonos worth visiting?

Mykonos is a Greek island known for its stunning beaches, amazing restaurants where to enjoy delicious seafood, and vibrant party scene. It is a very popular destination for tourists.

 

However, it is important to remember that Mykonos can be more expensive than other destinations in Greece.

 

It is comparable to other popular European cities, but you can easily visit it on a budget if you follow my advice.

 

Mykonos attracts a diverse crowd, from families, and young people looking for fun, to wealthy individuals and celebrities. While it is a popular honeymoon spot, the island is perfect for whoever is seeking for the fun and lively atmosphere during the summer months.

​

I visited Mykonos on a two weeks Greek holiday, and we went from Athens to Mykonos by ferry. A ferry to Mykonos from Athens is not expensive, and you can get there in a couple of hours.

Mykonos in summer gets incredibly crowded, mainly in July and August.

​

These are the two months to avoid because it can be extremely hot and crowded.

 

You have to queue for a long time to get inside every bar and restaurant, and you won't find a single spot at any beach clubs if you don't get there very early.

​

My advice is to visit Mykonos in June and September when everything is open, the water has the perfect temperature to refresh you, and you don't need to queue or book any restaurants one week in advance like during the high season.

​

If swimming is not so important for you, you can visit Mykonos also during May and October when temperatures are cooler.

 

Still, you can easily spend a day at the beach (the water will be cold), most restaurants are open, accommodations and flights are much cheaper than in the summer, and the island is almost empty.

​

Winter in Mykonos is cold and windy, I visited Mykonos in September, and it was perfect.

Mykonos, like every Greek island, is pretty safe. Still, like in every tourist area, I advise you always to be vigilant of what is happening around you and always purchase travel insurance.

Don't leave unattended valuables on the beach; close your window and door accommodation, and leave your valuables in your room safe if you have one.
