Things to do on Mykonos
Beach days
From the chic buzz of Scorpios and Nammos to the laid-back vibe of Agios Sostis and Fokos, Mykonos beaches are an experience in themselves. Spend the day alternating between sunbeds, swims, and long, lazy lunches that roll into sunset.
Then there are the legendary beach parties, day and night. Whether it’s a daytime DJ set at Nammos or a late-night dance at Cavo Paradiso, Mykonos knows how to celebrate.
Explore Mykonos Town
Lose yourself in the winding whitewashed lanes of Chora, where bougainvillea spills over balconies and boutiques are tucked into every corner. Don’t miss the iconic windmills at golden hour and a cocktail on Little Venice as the sun dips into the Aegean.
Sunset rituals
Mykonos sunsets are legendary. Watch them from a beach club, the terrace of your hotel, or on board a private yacht—each view feels more magical than the last.
Cultural touchpoints
Take a day trip to nearby Delos, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most important archaeological destinations in Greece. Walking among its ruins is like stepping back in time.
Island by sea
See Mykonos from the water on a yacht or traditional caique. Hidden coves, crystalline waters, and neighboring islands all open up when you take to the sea.
Kite surfing
Mykonos is an aquatic playground. The island is famous for its winds, and spots like Korfos Bay are a kitesurfer’s dream.
Cooking classes
Learn traditional Greek recipes with a local chef, then enjoy your creations with a glass of local wine.
