I'm planning a trip to Mykonos and I'm particularly interested in exploring its ancient ruins. I’ve heard that the island has a rich history, and I’d love to include some historical sites in my itinerary. Could anyone recommend the best ancient ruins to visit in Mykonos? Here are a few specifics I’m hoping to learn more about:
  1. Top Ruins to Visit: Which ruins are considered must-sees on the island? Are there any that stand out due to their historical significance or state of preservation?
  2. Visitor Information: Are there any tips for visiting these sites, such as best times to go, entry fees, or guided tour options?
  3. Historical Context: I’d appreciate any background information or interesting historical facts about the ruins. Understanding the history behind the sites would make the visits even more enriching.
  4. Accessibility: Are the ruins easily accessible for travelers, or are there any challenges in reaching them (e.g., remote locations, rugged terrain)?
  5. Personal Experiences: If anyone has personal experiences or photos from their visits to these ancient ruins, I’d love to hear about them!
 
When visiting Mykonos, be sure to check out the Archaeological Site of Delos, a short boat ride away. Delos is one of the most important mythological, historical, and archaeological sites in Greece. Highlights include the Terrace of the Lions, the Temple of Isis, and the ancient theatre.

In Mykonos itself, the remains of the Venetian Castle in Chora offer stunning views and a glimpse into the island's medieval past. Also, visit the Church of Panagia Paraportiani, an architectural marvel with a rich history dating back to the Byzantine era. These sites provide a fascinating insight into Mykonos's rich history.
 

Best things to do in Mykonos for Families?

I’m planning a trip to Mykonos with my family, and I’d love some tips on the best things to do that can cater to everyone. We’ve got a mix of ages—kids, adults, and grandparents—so I’m looking for activities that can offer something fun or interesting for all of us.

Of course, we’re excited about the beaches, but I’d like to know which ones are family-friendly and less crowded. Are there any cultural spots or landmarks that are a must-visit? Maybe a fun boat tour or a local food experience we could all enjoy together?

I’m also curious if there are any hidden gems off the beaten path or quieter areas where we can relax as a family.

Any advice, personal recommendations, or tips for making the most of our time in Mykonos are appreciated. Thanks so much!

Renting a Scooter to Get Around in Mykonos?

Hey everyone! I’m thinking of renting a scooter to get around Mykonos and would love some advice from those who’ve done it. I’ve heard that it’s a popular way to explore the island, but I’m curious about the practical side. How easy is it to find scooter rentals, and are there any companies you’d recommend?

Also, how’s the traffic and parking situation? I know Mykonos can get pretty busy, especially in peak season, so I’d like to know if a scooter makes it easier to navigate the crowds and find parking near popular spots.

Is Mykonos worth visiting if you’re not into partying?

I’m planning a trip to Greece and considering Mykonos, but I keep hearing it’s mainly a party island. The thing is—I’m not really into clubbing or wild nightlife, so I’m wondering if it’s still worth visiting.

I love beautiful scenery, great food, and exploring charming towns. I’ve seen pictures of Mykonos Town with its whitewashed streets and Little Venice, which look amazing. But is there enough to do for a more relaxed trip? Are there quieter beaches or hidden spots away from the party crowds?

For those who have been, would you recommend Mykonos for someone looking for a laid-back experience? Or would another Greek island be a better fit?
