I know many beaches on popular islands require you to pay a fee to sit on the beach chairs. Is Mykonos the same way? I hate paying to use the beach ?
 
Unfortunately many beaches will require you to pay, it's the sad reality but many businesses are struggling and need to profit from the tourism

Beaches provide excellent facilities for which one has to pay, you can take your towel and sit on the sand on many beaches,no problems...
 
Be aware that while in a 'regular' beach in Greece, the fee for a beach chair is 5-10 Euros; in Mykonos the fee can get up to 80 euros. So ask first so that you don't get cough by surprise.

I am laughing??!..... try €200 for a beach chairs in some places.. There are countless beaches where one can put towel on the sand and chill...I did it all the time even though I knew all the beach renters, something nice about lying on the sand...
 
It's pretty common to pay to use a beach chair and umbrella because it's all about renting the space. Greece isn't the only place where I have encountered this. However, I think that 80 Euros, 200 Euros, etc sounds a bit extreme. That is so unfortunate! For those prices you would think it was a VIP thing, or that you rented a cabana and not just a chair and umbrella. Some of the quieter, tucked away beaches maybe wouldn't charge so much, or anything at all really. However, those beaches probably wouldn't have facilities.

Very true,in Mykonos it is always a hot sizzling topic about rivalry and who has the 'Pull' in the summer,I lived in Kalafatis, where if one eats at local taverna,one can use the beach chairs for free, now move over to Kalo Livadi and we meet the big players with high profile clientele and beach chairs and Cabanas to match,go a bit further down we have Lindsay Lohan beach cabanas,and then over to Psarou and Nammos and the high rollers reside and nothing but fizz flowing all day !,Riva toys moored with ambience to match, the chairs and umbrellas are truly first class, one doesn't ask price for anything,one just pays!??
 
Sorry for bumping into an old conversation. From my experience, many popular beaches in Greece, including those in Mykonos, have entrance fees and charge for beach chairs and umbrellas. However some beaches are free to access, but they may be less crowded and have limited amenities. It's always a good idea to research the specific beach you plan to visit beforehand to see if there are any fees. Also, use pay stub creator to manage these fees more efficiently. Good luck!

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.

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.

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.

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.
