My cousin and I are going to be visiting Mykonos this summer and are wondering if you have any youth hostels that you have been to that you recommend. We love to meet new people when travelling, especially from all around the world! It always seems like Greece is the best place to make friends...What has your experience been?

One of the most popular ones in Mykonos is called Paraga Beach Hostel & Camping. Many hostels are campsites or have campsites in addition to hostel accommodation. In Greece, that's usually how University students will travel the islands, through camping or RV's. There aren't too too many hostels although you can find super cheap (usually run down) hotels for 40 euros a night.

Who said those days are over?....Siga!!!...On the contrary.... after we relocated from Mykonos we went for a short holiday and I didn't want to down memory lane in Kalafatis so we stayed at Paraga beach camping....and guess what?.....we met older generations like us travelling with their sons and daughters staying in wooden huts ....so basic and minimal,it was heavenly, just a mattress and a small fan!...and all mingling and having a good time, very nice atmosphere and had sleep less nights too!!?....forgot how noisy the Wow Wow dogoo dogoo music sounded like!!.....and I should know...I organised the MTV Mediterranean Dance Tour with 40 Killowat sound systems at Hard Rock Café ...so don't give up on those days, bring them back....oh I nearly forgot to say.....on the Paradise Beach there is a beach bar....in one corner they had a mountain of empty champagne bottles only on display....I have never seen so many empty champagne bottles in my life before...we are talking Moët,Vive Cliqout, Pommery, Crystal and some 10 litres empties as well?...I think the young ones had a roaring times.....

What Should You See in Chora Besides the Windmills?

I might be going to Mykonos this fall, and if I do, I definitely want to spend some time exploring Chora. Of course, the windmills and Little Venice are the places everyone talks about, but I’m curious about what else is worth seeing while wandering around town.

Are there particular churches, small museums, neighborhoods, shops, or viewpoints that you think are easy to overlook? I’d especially love recommendations for places that feel a little more traditional or give you a better sense of Mykonos beyond the most photographed spots.

Since I may be visiting in the fall, I’m also wondering if Chora feels noticeably quieter then and whether that makes it easier to explore at a slower pace.

If you’ve spent time there, what were your favorite discoveries? I’d love to know what you think is worth seeking out besides the obvious landmarks.

Best Sunsets in Mykonos?

Much has been said about the sunsets in Santorini, and for the longest time I just assumed that was the place in Greece for sunset views. But recently, a friend came back from Mykonos and shared some absolutely gorgeous sunset photos, golden light over the water, soft colors, even the windmills in the background. I honestly had no idea Mykonos could look like that at sunset.

Now I’m curious if this is something people seek out there, or if it’s more of a hidden bonus compared to Santorini.

Do you have any favorite sunset spots on Mykonos? Are there specific beaches, viewpoints, or areas in town that really stand out? I’d love to hear recommendations before I start planning a trip.

Is Mykonos Enjoyable for Solo Travelers?

I’m thinking about going to Mykonos sometime next year, possibly on my own, and I’m curious how enjoyable the island is for solo travelers.

I know Mykonos has a big reputation for nightlife, beach clubs, and groups of friends traveling together, so I’m wondering whether it still feels comfortable and fun if you’re there alone. I’d probably want a mix of beach time, walking around Mykonos Town, good food, maybe a little nightlife, and some sightseeing rather than making the whole trip about partying.

For anyone who has traveled to Mykonos solo, did you find it easy to meet people if you wanted to? Did restaurants, beaches, and bars feel comfortable on your own? I’d also be interested in hearing where you stayed and whether certain areas felt better suited to solo travelers than others.

Pros and Cons - Mykonos Town vs Staying Outside the Center

I’ve been to Mykonos a few times and have always stayed close to the center of Mykonos Town. It’s been convenient, especially for walking everywhere, being near restaurants, and not having to think too much about transportation.

That said, I’m considering going again and wondering if it might be worth staying outside the center this time. I’ve never done it, so I’m not sure what the experience is like in comparison.

For those who have stayed in both areas, how did it differ for you? Did you find it more relaxing outside of Town, or did the added logistics make things harder? I’m especially curious about getting around at night and whether it takes away from the overall experience.

Would you choose to stay outside the center again, or do you feel like being based in Town is still the better option?

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?
