I can't shake that I want to go to Mykonos soon, but I am nervous because I've heard mixed things about the island. What attracts me to the island is the party scene - but a lot of what goes with the party scene turns me off. I don't know if any of you have advice on how to navigate it. I want to enjoy the parties, but I want to also be able to avoid them here and there to sightsee, relax, etc. So I want a balance. If this isn't the place for that kind of balance, I am open to suggestions.

I totally understand where you are coming from with that one. I absolutely love experiencing the party scene in other places. I went to Mykonos to see it for myself out of curiosity and I was personally a little disappointed. It was so hyped up, I felt like the people in my group were trying too hard to have fun. I am not sure if that was the fault of the island, or the people I was with.

What specifically turns you off?
To enjoy the party scene one has to be in a group of like minded friends!
I can assure you that both can be enjoyed without any stress whatsoever.
Why do you want go to Mykonos?....is it to be seen and see the razmatazzz? ..... You can spend all your time in Mykonos without even coming near any kind of party scene whatsoever I assure you!!!...And you can party on should you so desire....The beaches like Kalfatis, Lia Beach,Fragia,Agia Anna,Loulos, Agrari Beach,Far end of Panormos,Agois Sostis,Kapari, Agios Yianis,
are peacdf...as mentioned here all hype news will always be disappointing....I must ask you again... What are you expecting out of your trip to Mykonos?.... Remember it is extortionately expensive!...Ask me specifically and let me see if I can assist further!... Yasou apo mena from Thailand!

Is Marathon a good day trip from Athens?

I've been planning an itinerary for my upcoming trip to Athens, and I've always been fascinated by the historical significance of Marathon. Considering its role in ancient history and the famous battle that took place there, it seems like a place that might be worth a visit.
However, I'm on the fence about dedicating a whole day trip to Marathon. From what I understand, it isn’t too far from Athens, but I'm trying to weigh up whether the experience is worthy compared to spending that time exploring more within the city itself.
Has anyone made the day trip to Marathon from Athens? Was it an enriching experience, and what are the can't-miss sights? Is the archeological site/museum there engaging enough for a history buff? Also, how about the logistics – is it easy to get to by public transport, or would you suggest renting a car or going with a tour?
I am just trying to decide if it's worth it, or if I should plan to stay overnight. Thanks!
