I am traveling to Greece this July with a large group of friends and family and we all have different interests.

Some of the people have never been to Mykonos and are pushing for a longer stay because they want to party.

I did all that when I was younger, and it wasn't the greatest. I loved nightclubs back then, too.

What have been your experiences? I found it to be too hot to party hard. I love to dance, and I couldn't really dance much. The beaches made me feel claustrophobic because there was nowhere to really walk and get away from the loud music!
 
My personal experience is that although I actually love nightclubs, I didn't particularly like the scene at Mykonos. It felt weird to me to be dressed for the beach, and to hear the music, and try to relax on my sun bed while all the chaos was going on.

I clearly wasn't at the right beach for my mood. I like the beach by day to sit and relax, and partying at night in a club!
 
Ya that is how I feel, as well. Beach by day to relax, party a bit at night. But these days, I don't go to clubs anymore. Back when I was at Mykonos I did enjoy the scene somewhat (when I was younger) but still, deep down, I knew it wasn't my thing.
 
I've had a similar experience with Mykonos. It can get really hot, and if you're not into the party scene, it might not be as enjoyable. I was there for a festival once, and while the clubs were fun, the heat and crowds made it hard to really relax and dance comfortably. The beaches are beautiful but can feel a bit crowded and loud, which isn’t ideal if you’re looking for a quieter spot.

For a different vibe, I went to a gay event in Los Angeles recently, and it was a blast. The energy was amazing, and the venue had enough space for everyone to dance and enjoy themselves without feeling packed. Maybe your group can mix up the trip with some quieter days or other locations to balance things out.

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.

Best things to do in Mykonos for Families?

I’m planning a trip to Mykonos with my family, and I’d love some tips on the best things to do that can cater to everyone. We’ve got a mix of ages—kids, adults, and grandparents—so I’m looking for activities that can offer something fun or interesting for all of us.

Of course, we’re excited about the beaches, but I’d like to know which ones are family-friendly and less crowded. Are there any cultural spots or landmarks that are a must-visit? Maybe a fun boat tour or a local food experience we could all enjoy together?

I’m also curious if there are any hidden gems off the beaten path or quieter areas where we can relax as a family.

Any advice, personal recommendations, or tips for making the most of our time in Mykonos are appreciated. Thanks so much!

Is Delos Worth a Day Trip?

I’ll be spending a week in Mykonos soon and was wondering if a day trip to Delos is worth it. I’ve always been intrigued by its history as a sacred island and its connection to Greek mythology, not to mention the ruins I’ve seen in photos look incredible.

Since it’s so close to Mykonos, it seems like an easy trip, but I’d love to hear from anyone who’s been there. Are the archaeological sites as impressive in person as they seem? How much time do you realistically need to explore the island without feeling rushed?

Also, is it better to book a guided tour or just go solo? Any tips on the best way to get there and what to bring?

Good Museums to Visit in Mykonos

I know, we don't really think of Museums when we think of Mykonos. But, I am looking for other things to do besides sitting at the beach and going to clubs. Any advice on which museums are worth my time?

I'm particularly interested in learning about the island’s history, art, and culture. Could anyone recommend the top museums to visit? I’ve heard about the Archaeological Museum and the Aegean Maritime Museum, but are there any others that are worth checking out?

Additionally, any tips on the best times to visit these museums to avoid crowds would be greatly appreciated.

Mykonos from Athens - Ferry vs Airport?

I’m planning a trip to Mykonos next summer and would love your advice on whether I should take a ferry or a flight from Athens. I’ve heard that both options have their pros and cons, but I’m struggling to decide.

For the ferry, I’ve read that it’s a scenic and more relaxed option, but how reliable is it? Are there frequent delays, especially during peak season? Also, would you recommend a high-speed ferry or the regular ones?

For the flight, I like that it’s much quicker, but I’m concerned about potential airport stress and extra transportation costs. Is it worth flying for the time saved, or do the ferry views make the journey more enjoyable?
