..... Kalley Mera Kalllo Mina...I have traveled extensively and lived in Mykonos for many years....I would just pack and just arrive at the port and speak to the ladies and guys waiting at the port renting rooms and apartments...... you will be surprised how welcoming these folks can be... this applies to all the other islands...too!....So much fun.... Wish I could travel.... just had my first Pfizer shot...
 
I just did a quick google search, and there are a few places that are $80 a night. I'm not sure if you're looking for cheaper than that. Im sure if you search on an ongoing basis and book at the right time you'll be able to find something for a good price. They might just not be centrally located or not have all of the amenities that you would like
 
It all depends on the time of year when you go. Some months are cheaper than others. $80 a night really isn't bad. Sometimes Air BnBs are cheaper than hotels, too.

$80 is a pretty good price for Mykonos. I've only seen those prices on smaller and less popular islands

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.

Which Mykonos beaches are best when the meltemi winds are strong?

I'm hoping to visit Mykonos on a future trip to Greece, and I've been doing some research about the island's beaches. One thing that keeps coming up is the meltemi winds, which apparently can get pretty strong during the summer months!

I've read that some beaches are much more exposed to the wind than others, and I'm wondering which ones are best for swimming and relaxing when the meltemi is blowing.

From what I've gathered, beaches on the southern side of Mykonos tend to be more sheltered, but I'm not sure which ones offer the most protection. I've seen Ornos, Platis Gialos, and Psarou mentioned as possibilities.

For those who have spent time in Mykonos during the windy season, which beaches would you recommend? Are there certain beaches you would avoid altogether on particularly windy days?

I'd love to know what to expect before planning my trip!

Staying in a villa rental on Mykonos?

We’re considering staying in a villa on Mykonos because our group is fairly large, and it seems like it might be more practical (and fun) than booking multiple hotel rooms. I’ve started looking online, but honestly the number of options is overwhelming, and I’m not sure what the best approach is.

For those who have done this before, how did you find your rental? Did you go through a villa agency, booking platforms, or local contacts? I’ve read that location makes a big difference depending on whether you want nightlife, beaches, or something quieter, so I’m also trying to figure out what areas make the most sense. If you’ve stayed in a Mykonos villa with a group, I’d love to hear what worked or what didn't work, as well.

Advice for Snorkeling in Mykonos?

I'm considering a trip to Mykonos this summer and was thinking about doing some snorkeling while I'm there. I've spent time swimming in Greece before, but I've never really explored what Mykonos offers specifically for snorkeling.

For those who have snorkeled around the island, are there particular beaches or areas that you would recommend? I'm less interested in organized excursions and more interested in places where I can simply bring my own gear and explore from shore.

How is the visibility in the water during the summer months? Are there any spots known for interesting marine life, underwater rock formations, or especially clear water?

I'd also appreciate any practical advice regarding currents, crowds, or the best times of day to go. If you've had a great snorkeling experience in Mykonos, I'd love to hear where you went and what made it memorable.

Pros and Cons - Mykonos Town vs Staying Outside the Center

I’ve been to Mykonos a few times and have always stayed close to the center of Mykonos Town. It’s been convenient, especially for walking everywhere, being near restaurants, and not having to think too much about transportation.

That said, I’m considering going again and wondering if it might be worth staying outside the center this time. I’ve never done it, so I’m not sure what the experience is like in comparison.

For those who have stayed in both areas, how did it differ for you? Did you find it more relaxing outside of Town, or did the added logistics make things harder? I’m especially curious about getting around at night and whether it takes away from the overall experience.

Would you choose to stay outside the center again, or do you feel like being based in Town is still the better option?
