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!

Favorite Tips for Enjoying Mykonos Beyond the Party Scene

I’m planning a trip to Mykonos and want to experience the island beyond its famous party scene. While the nightlife looks fun, I’m more interested in exploring its culture, history, and hidden gems.

I’d love your tips on must-see spots, local experiences, or quieter beaches that showcase the island’s charm. Are there any scenic walks, traditional villages, or unique local foods I should try? I’m also curious about off-the-beaten-path activities, like visiting family-run tavernas, historical sites, or taking a boat tour to nearby islands.

If you’ve been to Mykonos and discovered its quieter side, I’d love to hear your recommendations! What made your experience special?

Adventure activities in Mykonos

I'm planning an upcoming trip to Mykonos and I'm looking for some recommendations on adventure activities to do while I'm there. I know the island is famous for its beaches and nightlife, but I’m interested in exploring its adventurous side.

What are some must-try activities for thrill-seekers? Are there any specific water sports, hiking trails, or unique experiences you would recommend? Also, any tips on the best places or companies to book these activities with would be greatly appreciated.

I’d love to hear about your personal experiences and any advice you have for making the most of an adventurous stay in Mykonos. Thanks!

Family Friendly Activities in Mykonos

I'm planning a family trip to Mykonos and would love some recommendations for family-friendly activities and attractions on the island. We’re traveling with kids, so we're looking for options beyond the usual nightlife and party scene that Mykonos is known for.

Are there any specific beaches that are particularly good for families with young children? We’d love to find some calm, shallow waters where the kids can swim safely.

We're also interested in cultural experiences, such as visiting historical sites or museums that would be engaging for children. Are there any family-friendly tours or activities that provide a bit of local history in a fun way?

Lastly, are there any local parks, playgrounds, or outdoor activities that are great for kids? Any tips on kid-friendly restaurants or cafes would also be greatly appreciated.

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!

Worth going to Delos?

I’m considering doing a day trip to Delos while in Mykonos, but I’m not sure if it’s worth the time. I know it’s an important historical site and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, but is it really a must-visit?

For those who have been, did you find it impressive? How long did you spend exploring? I’ve heard there’s a lot of walking and not much shade—does that make it tough in the summer? Also, are the guided tours worth it, or is it better to explore on your own?

I love Greek mythology and ancient history, so I feel like it could be interesting, but I don’t want to spend half a day away from Mykonos if it’s underwhelming. Would you recommend it, or are there better things to do instead? Would love to hear opinions from people who have been!
