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!
 
Mykonos is a fantastic choice for a family trip! Here are some suggestions to cater to all ages:

Beaches: Head to Ornos or Agios Stefanos—both are family-friendly with calm waters, soft sand, and less of the party vibe. They have amenities like sunbeds, shade, and nearby tavernas, making them ideal for a relaxing day.

Cultural Spots: Visit Mykonos Town for a stroll through the picturesque alleys, admire the iconic windmills, and stop by the Aegean Maritime Museum or the charming Church of Panagia Paraportiani. Kids will love spotting pelicans around Little Venice!

Activities: A boat tour to Delos, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a great family-friendly adventure. The ruins are fascinating, and the trip is short enough to keep everyone engaged.

Food: Try a traditional taverna like Kiki’s Tavern for a laid-back family meal, or book a cooking class for a fun, hands-on experience.

For quieter moments, explore Ano Mera, a peaceful village with local charm and authentic vibes.
 

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.

Lastly, any tips on safety? I’m used to driving a scooter, but I want to make sure I’m prepared for local road conditions. Would appreciate any insights on what to expect—thanks in advance for any advice!

Is Delos Worth a Day Trip?

I’ll be spending a week in Mykonos soon and was wondering if a day trip to Delos is worth it. I’ve always been intrigued by its history as a sacred island and its connection to Greek mythology, not to mention the ruins I’ve seen in photos look incredible.

Since it’s so close to Mykonos, it seems like an easy trip, but I’d love to hear from anyone who’s been there. Are the archaeological sites as impressive in person as they seem? How much time do you realistically need to explore the island without feeling rushed?

Also, is it better to book a guided tour or just go solo? Any tips on the best way to get there and what to bring?

Finding Luxury Accommodations in Mykonos?

I am looking for recommendations on luxury accommodations. I'm interested in staying somewhere with stunning views, excellent service, and top-notch amenities. Ideally, I'd like a hotel or villa that's close to the main attractions but still offers some privacy and relaxation. Any specific hotels or areas you would suggest? Additionally, are there any booking tips or websites that offer great deals on luxury stays in Mykonos? Your advice and personal experiences would be greatly appreciated.

This trip is not for this year, it's for next year. I thought maybe I would try going this year, but I don't think I have enough time to find something I'll really like.
