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.....
 

Mykonos: Nammos Suspended!

Events unfolding rapidly in crackdowns after many years of irregular activities.I don't agree with the Police patrolling the narrow streets of Mykonos for noise levels from the bars in the video which I saw yesterday, felt quite saddened when at this time of the year it is so very nice to browse around Matoyianni with all the lovely shops and boutiques instead of 6-8 police walking up and down these beautiful narrow streets!... They begin to take away sound systems from the bars!

Nightlife question about Mykonos

I have seen footage of fun-looking club atmospheres on Mykonos. I went last year and couldn't find those parties! I want to try again the next time I am in Greece, probably in September.

I’d love to find places that strike a balance between great music (preferably a mix of international and local beats), a lively but not overly crowded atmosphere, and of course, stunning settings that scream ‘Mykonos’!

Does anyone have personal favorites or hidden gems they'd be willing to share?

Packing for Mykonos Trip

I am going to be in Mykonos mid-September. Is it still warm enough for some solid beach time?

During the trip we will also be sightseeing, going out for dinner, doing some boating (friends), and maybe renting jet skis or something like that.

Latest I have ever been to Mykonos has been mid-August. Is the weather in September that much different?

Learning Greek While in Mykonos?

I've recently embarked on the exciting journey of learning Greek, motivated further by an upcoming trip to the beautiful island of Mykonos. Given the rich culture, stunning landscapes, and the warm hospitality native to this region, I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to immerse myself in the language amid its native speakers.

However, as someone relatively new to this endeavor, I'm eagerly seeking advice on the best strategies for learning Greek while exploring Mykonos. Whether it be recommendations for local language schools that cater specifically to visitors, tips on integrating learning into daily activities, or suggestions for social settings that are particularly friendly to language learners, I'm all ears.

Additionally, I'm interested in any local groups or exchange programs that promote cultural immersion and language practice. I believe that interacting with the locals and engaging directly with the culture can significantly enhance the language learning experience.

Lastly, if there are specific apps or resources that you found helpful while learning Greek in a similar context, please don't hesitate to share. I'm open to exploring all options that might assist in making my learning experience as enriching and effective as possible.

I look forward to hearing your suggestions and stories about your own language learning journeys in Greece. Thank you in advance for your insights and advice!

What are your opinions about the party scene in Mykonos?

I am traveling to Greece this July with a large group of friends and family and we all have different interests.

Some of the people have never been to Mykonos and are pushing for a longer stay because they want to party.

I did all that when I was younger, and it wasn't the greatest. I loved nightclubs back then, too.

What have been your experiences? I found it to be too hot to party hard. I love to dance, and I couldn't really dance much. The beaches made me feel claustrophobic because there was nowhere to really walk and get away from the loud music!
