From Mykonos To Delos And The Quirky Stuff In Between

Mykonos is an island that can be polarising; you either love it or hate. It was not until he shot a documentary on Mykonos and Delos in 2016 that it truly dawned upon author and TV Presenter Billy Cotsis exactly what the island offers.

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.

Which month has the worse wind in Mykonos in the summer?

I might go to Mykonos next year, and the only thing giving me pause is the wind. I know the island is famous for the meltemi, but I keep reading completely different opinions about when it’s at its strongest. Some people say July is brutal, others say August is worse, and a few claim June can surprise you too.

For those of you who’ve been to Mykonos multiple times — or who go every summer — which month have you personally experienced as the windiest? I don’t mind a breeze, but I do want a trip where I can actually enjoy the beaches without getting sandblasted every five minutes.

Is there a month where the meltemi is consistently the strongest, or is it totally unpredictable year to year? Would love to hear your experiences and what you’d recommend!

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?

How is Mykonos for Solo Travelers?

A friend of mine mentioned that her college-aged daughter is thinking about traveling to Mykonos on her own to meet up with some friends who will already be there. It got me wondering what the island is like for solo travelers, especially young women arriving independently before joining a group.

I've heard Mykonos is very popular with international visitors, but I'd love to hear from people who have actually experienced it. Did you feel comfortable getting around on your own? Was it easy to meet up with people and navigate the island? Are there any areas, accommodations, or transportation tips that would make the trip smoother or safer?

I'd appreciate any advice, things to watch out for, or recommendations that would help someone visiting Mykonos solo for the first time. Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences!

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?
