Don't get me wrong, I love Mykonos… but I think I'll want a bit of an escape. My friends and I have planned a trip for one week to celebrate our college reunion of 25 years but in my opinion we're far too old to be partying every night. Any advice for a great but relaxing day trip?

Mykonos is one of my favorite places in the world!

Best day trips that I did when I was in Mykonos last time was visiting the island of Tinos. It is about a 45 minute ferry ride from what I remember and truly is amazing.

Here is a photo of Tinos:

LOL! I totally relate! One week in Mykonos and I'd be dead. Some of my all time faves for day trips are Tinos and Paros. Paros is also a little bit of a party island but it has some of my favorite beaches.
 
I’ve heard great things about Naxos. It's one of those islands that really offers everything, you can do water sports, you can go hiking, you can spend time at the beach, and even visit some great heritage sites.

Day trip to Delos from Mykonos?

I'm planning a day trip to Delos from Mykonos and would love some advice on how to make the most of it! I've heard that Delos is rich in history and mythology, and I'm excited to explore the archaeological site. For those who’ve been, what are the must-see highlights on the island? Are there any specific ruins, temples, or statues that I shouldn't miss?

Also, I'd appreciate tips on logistics—how frequently do the ferries run, and is it better to book tickets in advance?

Having Fun in Mykonos without the Crowds?

I'm thinking to go to Mykonos but have my misgivings. The thing is, I’d like to enjoy some fun bars and clubs but avoid the craziest, most over-the-top places. I’m not into wild parties where it’s hard to relax, but I still want to soak up the vibrant atmosphere Mykonos is known for.

Are there any spots that strike a nice balance? Maybe beach bars with great music and cocktails, or clubs that are lively but not overwhelming? I’d also love recommendations for places where you can meet fun people without the vibe being too intense or chaotic.

If you’ve been and have any tips, I’d really appreciate it! Looking forward to making some amazing memories while keeping things enjoyable.

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!
