Has anyone been to the monastery before? Is it difficult to get to?

I think your best bet is to drive. This website says that it's a pretty far walk from the bust station https://moovitapp.com/index/en/public_transit-Filerimos_Monastery-Rhodes_Ρόδος-site_42466765-4714

This monastery really is worth a visit once you do make your way there. The monastery is very peaceful, and there are some great views here.

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!

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?

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.

Advice for Snorkeling in Mykonos?

I'm considering a trip to Mykonos this summer and was thinking about doing some snorkeling while I'm there. I've spent time swimming in Greece before, but I've never really explored what Mykonos offers specifically for snorkeling.

For those who have snorkeled around the island, are there particular beaches or areas that you would recommend? I'm less interested in organized excursions and more interested in places where I can simply bring my own gear and explore from shore.

How is the visibility in the water during the summer months? Are there any spots known for interesting marine life, underwater rock formations, or especially clear water?

I'd also appreciate any practical advice regarding currents, crowds, or the best times of day to go. If you've had a great snorkeling experience in Mykonos, I'd love to hear where you went and what made it memorable.

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.
