I just read this, Ornos is very beautiful,and built up during the previous years, lovely restaurants, beach bars, water sports, fabulous walking area towards Kivotos Hotel, also near Santa Marina, you can take the fishing boat and do some beach hopping to Platis Yalos, Paradise beach, Super Paradise beach, Agrari beach..... you can do some walking to Agios Ioannis and those spectacular views, truly breathtaking..... let us know what you think?..... Please post some pictures, this time of the year there will be some beautiful Yachts!

What Should You See in Chora Besides the Windmills?

I might be going to Mykonos this fall, and if I do, I definitely want to spend some time exploring Chora. Of course, the windmills and Little Venice are the places everyone talks about, but I’m curious about what else is worth seeing while wandering around town.

Are there particular churches, small museums, neighborhoods, shops, or viewpoints that you think are easy to overlook? I’d especially love recommendations for places that feel a little more traditional or give you a better sense of Mykonos beyond the most photographed spots.

Since I may be visiting in the fall, I’m also wondering if Chora feels noticeably quieter then and whether that makes it easier to explore at a slower pace.

If you’ve spent time there, what were your favorite discoveries? I’d love to know what you think is worth seeking out besides the obvious landmarks.

Is Mykonos Worth Visiting Outside of Peak Summer?

I’m curious to hear people’s experiences with Mykonos outside of peak summer. Most of what you see online focuses on July and August, crowded beaches, packed beach clubs, and very high prices, but I know some islands change completely once the main season ends.

For those who’ve visited Mykonos in the shoulder months or off-season, what was it actually like? Did the island feel calmer and more enjoyable, or too quiet and limited? I’m especially interested in how much is still open: restaurants, beaches, transportation, and boat trips.

How different does Mykonos Town feel when it’s not overflowing with visitors? And does the island’s character come through more once the party scene tones down? I heard it could be boring, but I guess it would depend on what we want.

Best Sunsets in Mykonos?

Much has been said about the sunsets in Santorini, and for the longest time I just assumed that was the place in Greece for sunset views. But recently, a friend came back from Mykonos and shared some absolutely gorgeous sunset photos, golden light over the water, soft colors, even the windmills in the background. I honestly had no idea Mykonos could look like that at sunset.

Now I’m curious if this is something people seek out there, or if it’s more of a hidden bonus compared to Santorini.

Do you have any favorite sunset spots on Mykonos? Are there specific beaches, viewpoints, or areas in town that really stand out? I’d love to hear recommendations before I start planning a trip.

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.

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!
