Does anyone know the best way to take a quick boat ride when in Mykonos? I usually just walk around the shore and find someone (they usually bring their boats to a spot) but the last time I did that, I didn't like the boat! So I want to plan things in advance this time around. I plan to go to Mykonos soon.

The last boat had a glass bottom, and it freaked me out - I don't want to do that again.

Also, I am interested in Scuba diving but I know that is a bit more complicated to arrange than a boat ride. I might have to wait until I get there?

I would really just spend some time at the port area. There are usually people with boats who go there to find customers. I have taken some great boat rides in Greece that way!

Mykonos before the sunbeds.

When I arrived in Mykonou for the first time in 92 I think!.... there was no such thing as beach chairs!😂😂.. only a few old style deck chairs,all free......my friend Spiro rented a part of Kalo Livadi beach and we ended up providing free chairs and umbrellas and having beach parties every day with the beach bar more busier than the taverna😂😂...a total transformation from 94!!....and what we witness today!

Mykonos And Santorini Experience Decline In Tourist Traffic!

Visitors Share Disappointing Reviews https://greekcitytimes.com/2023/06/...traffic-visitors-share-disappointing-reviews/
This is surprising and looking at another way not surprising!... long time coming... There are many negative reviews and justifiably so, influencers (not all them)are a force to reckon with these days with experienced traveller's disappointment.There is a fine line between out/over pricing and value for money!
International arrivals in April 2023
Country Total: +14.6%
Mykonos: -29%
Santorini: -6.4%
Rhodes: +31.2%
Thessaloniki: +26.8%
Athens: +17.4%
No mention of Crete!??
Mykonos – Santorini
Turnover: April-May -15 to -20%
l will obtain some facts later on!

Learning About the History of Mykonos?

While on Mykonos, are there places to go, or maybe even tours to take, that can help me learn abut the history of the place?

I know there are some museums, like the Archaeological Museum and the Folklore Museum, but aside from that, I am looking for places to go that will kind of bring the history alive. I do plan to visit Delos as a day trip, I know the history of that small island is connected to Mykonos. That's all I can think of, though. Anything you can tell me is very much appreciated!

How expensive is Mykonos?

I won't be going this year, but I am starting to plan for next year. I plan to be in a Greece for at least a month and someone I am traveling with is adamant about wanting to experience some clubs in Mykonos.

I think it does look fun, but I am concerned with whether or not it is expensive. I heard it can get bad. We have a limited budget... can we navigate the expense of it, and find less expensive ways to enjoy it. Can we?
