Mykonos: sunsets, style & the bluest sea
Whitewashed lanes, windmills above the sea, legendary beach clubs and quiet coves most visitors never find. Here's how to enjoy the island like a local.
Much more than beach clubs
Mykonos is famous for its nightlife and glamorous beaches, but there's another island behind the headlines: fishermen mending nets in the old harbor, tiny chapels with blue doors, family tavernas in Ano Mera and sunsets that turn Little Venice gold.
Chora, the main town, is a maze of whitewashed alleys built to confuse pirates. It still confuses visitors today, in the best possible way. Just a short boat ride away lies Delos, one of the most important archaeological sites in Greece.
Whether you're here to party, to relax or to explore, our drivers know the island inside out: the best beach for the day's wind, the taverna with no sign outside, and how to dodge the August traffic.

Mykonos: frequently asked questions
How many days do you need in Mykonos?
Three to four days is ideal: enough time for Chora, a few beaches, a Delos trip and at least one great sunset. Add a day or two if you want to relax.
How do I get from Athens to Mykonos?
By ferry from Piraeus or Rafina, or by a short flight from Athens Airport. Rafina is closer to the airport and has frequent ferries to Mykonos.
Is Mykonos expensive?
It can be, especially at the famous beach clubs in July and August. Visit in June or September, eat at local tavernas and swim at free beaches to keep costs down.
