It's been a while since I have been to Mykonos and I am trying to figure out if I should add a few days next time I am in Greece...

Pros:

I like lively beaches with nightlife

Cons:

It's expensive
I don't really know anyone living on the island

I guess it looks like I need to decide if the nightlife is worth it. I mean, there's nightlife all over Greece so I am not sure it makes sense to go out of my way... What do you guys think?

It is not longer the laid back beautiful island. No place to take children on the beaches for sure. Over rated and expensive, too. Too many tourists from the cruises. Maybe a day trip in the spring or fall with the young adults have left. Island of Delos is worth going.

I totally forgot about Delos! I have ever been but have always wanted to go. I have heard it was expensive. You've given me some good points to think about. Thank you!

When I went to Mykonos, I didn't experience the nightlife either and I regret it. For me, it's an itch I need to scratch. So, I would like to go back personally just to see what all the hype is all about. Maybe just for two nights, then I can move on to somewhere else nearby, like Santorini or Delos.

From where have you heard it was expensive?.....In what way?
.... unguided entrance is very cheap (you will not learn anything for sure!).... Going guided is the best way, please believe what you are reading! Kalley Mera!

One Week in Mykonos?

I'm thinking about spending a full week in Mykonos on a future trip, and I'd love some itinerary ideas. I've visited the island before, but only for short periods, mostly during cruise stops, so I know I've only scratched the surface.

With a full week, I'd like to slow down and experience more than just the well-known sights. I'd still want to wander through Mykonos Town, enjoy the beaches, and visit Delos, but I'm sure there are plenty of places and experiences I've missed over the years.

If you had seven days to spend on Mykonos, how would you divide your time? Are there quieter beaches, scenic drives, traditional tavernas, or lesser-known spots that you'd be sure to include? I'd love to hear how you would plan a week on the island and what you think shouldn't be missed.

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?

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.

Renting a Car on Mykonos?

I’m heading to Mykonos for a week and trying to decide if renting a car is worth it for at least a few days. Normally when I travel to Greek islands, I like walking and using buses when possible, but this trip might be a little different.

The apartment we rented looks beautiful, but it’s a bit tucked away from Mykonos Town and not really within walking distance of much. I’m starting to wonder if relying on taxis all week will become expensive or inconvenient, especially at night.

For people who have been recently, would you recommend renting a car? Was parking difficult around the island or beaches? Also, how are the roads for someone who hasn’t driven there before?

I’m mainly hoping to explore beaches, tavernas, and spend some evenings in town without constantly stressing about transportation. Trip is during the summer.

Mykonos Okay to Visit in March?

A friend recently asked me whether Mykonos is a good place to visit in March, and I realized I don’t have a great answer, even though I’ve been there before. My experience with Mykonos has only been in the height of summer, when everything is open, busy, and very much in full swing.

I’m curious how the island feels in early spring. I assume it’s much quieter, but does that make it enjoyable or does it feel too closed down? Are restaurants, cafés, and shops still operating, even at a reduced level? Is it more of a peaceful, local experience, or does it feel like a place waiting for the season to start?

My friend isn’t necessarily looking for nightlife, but does want good food, nice walks, and a sense of atmosphere. I’d love to hear from anyone who has visited Mykonos in March—or lives there year-round—about what to realistically expect that time of year.
