Ooo…what are the small plates? I’m thinking skordalia and an aubergine dip…
Yes exactly :) the aubergine dip had red peppers though, not my favorite take but very good nonetheless

Did you manage to visit any of the Tavernas I suggested?.... How was your holiday there?
I tried Tasos Taverna thank you so much for the suggestion!!!!! I wish I took pictures but I ate the food so quickly that I didn't get the chance. The owners were sadly not there so I couldn't say hello, but the service was absolutely excellent and the food was amazing. I would say this holiday to Mykonos was the best one yet, the island was a little bit less crowded than the other times that I had been :) :) :) thank you again for the suggestions

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.

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!

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?

Quieter Beaches in Mykonos?

I'm gathering information for a cruise that I might book next year, and one of the ports would be Mykonos. I've heard a lot about the island's famous beach clubs and party atmosphere, but that's not really what I'm looking for.

If we only have a few hours during the cruise stop, are there any quieter beaches where it's possible to simply relax, enjoy the scenery, and maybe go for a swim without loud music and big crowds? I'd much rather have a peaceful experience than spend the afternoon at a party beach.

If the beaches are still very busy, what else would you recommend doing with limited time in Mykonos? I'd love to wander through the town, enjoy some local food, or see a few highlights. I'd appreciate any suggestions from people who've visited during a cruise stop.

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.
