If you know where to look, Mykonos has some of the best restaurants in Greece! Just make sure that you're going to authentic places, and ones that aren't catered to tourists. I've had my fair share of good and bad food on the island, and I feel like I have a pretty good sense of where to go. These are a few of my favorites, but feel free to share yours in the commons below! Hopefully I'll be able to make it to Mykonos this summer and try a few of your recommendations out.

This is a great list!

I always find the best restaurants in Greece (and in Mykonos) tend to be the small family owned tavernas, basically any place that does not have the menus written in English, LOL ??

I see it’s been a while since this was posted, but I’d love to know if any of you have tried Rizes Farm in Ano Mera recently. I’ve heard it’s great for a more relaxed, traditional vibe compared to the beach clubs. Also wondering if there are any lesser-known local tavernas you’d recommend for dinner away from the busy spots—it’s always fun finding those hidden gems.
 
Last year after Mykonos, I went to Thailand and had a blast checking out the best restaurants Koh Samui has to offer—some seriously good seafood and beachside spots there too. If anyone’s looking to pair a Greek island trip with something a bit different, it’s a fun switch. The vibe’s super chill, kind of like Mykonos but with Thai food and cheaper cocktails.

Best viewpoints in Mykonos?

I’m in the early stages of planning a possible trip to Mykonos and have started researching the best viewpoints on the island. I know about the classic sunset spot near the windmills and Little Venice, but I’m wondering what other viewpoints are worth seeking out, especially ones that aren’t completely packed with crowds.

Are there any higher lookouts, coastal cliffs, quiet hills, or hidden spots where you can really take in the sea and the whitewashed buildings from above? I’d love both sunrise and sunset recommendations, whether they’re easy to reach or require a bit of walking or driving.

Also curious if any viewpoints are near beaches, chapels, or small tavernas where you can linger and enjoy the view longer.

If you’ve been to Mykonos, what viewpoint left the strongest impression on you?

Best Mykonos Sunset Spots?

I’m starting to plan a trip to Mykonos and one of the things I’d really love to experience is a beautiful sunset, but ideally somewhere beyond the most crowded, obvious spots. I know places like Little Venice are famous for sunsets, but I’m wondering if there are quieter locations that still offer amazing views.

Are there beaches, viewpoints, or even small chapels or hillsides where you’ve watched the sunset that felt special? I’d especially love places that feel a bit more relaxed or off the beaten path, even if they require a short walk or drive to get there.

If you’ve been to Mykonos, where did you have your favorite sunset moment? Was it planned, or something you discovered by accident? Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Quieter Beaches in Mykonos?

I'm gathering information for a cruise that I might book next year, and one of the ports would be Mykonos. I've heard a lot about the island's famous beach clubs and party atmosphere, but that's not really what I'm looking for.

If we only have a few hours during the cruise stop, are there any quieter beaches where it's possible to simply relax, enjoy the scenery, and maybe go for a swim without loud music and big crowds? I'd much rather have a peaceful experience than spend the afternoon at a party beach.

If the beaches are still very busy, what else would you recommend doing with limited time in Mykonos? I'd love to wander through the town, enjoy some local food, or see a few highlights. I'd appreciate any suggestions from people who've visited during a cruise stop.

One Week in Mykonos?

I'm thinking about spending a full week in Mykonos on a future trip, and I'd love some itinerary ideas. I've visited the island before, but only for short periods, mostly during cruise stops, so I know I've only scratched the surface.

With a full week, I'd like to slow down and experience more than just the well-known sights. I'd still want to wander through Mykonos Town, enjoy the beaches, and visit Delos, but I'm sure there are plenty of places and experiences I've missed over the years.

If you had seven days to spend on Mykonos, how would you divide your time? Are there quieter beaches, scenic drives, traditional tavernas, or lesser-known spots that you'd be sure to include? I'd love to hear how you would plan a week on the island and what you think shouldn't be missed.

Advice for Snorkeling in Mykonos?

I'm considering a trip to Mykonos this summer and was thinking about doing some snorkeling while I'm there. I've spent time swimming in Greece before, but I've never really explored what Mykonos offers specifically for snorkeling.

For those who have snorkeled around the island, are there particular beaches or areas that you would recommend? I'm less interested in organized excursions and more interested in places where I can simply bring my own gear and explore from shore.

How is the visibility in the water during the summer months? Are there any spots known for interesting marine life, underwater rock formations, or especially clear water?

I'd also appreciate any practical advice regarding currents, crowds, or the best times of day to go. If you've had a great snorkeling experience in Mykonos, I'd love to hear where you went and what made it memorable.
