Thanks for posting!

Best time to go to Mykonos would be May/June and September/October. The fall has still great weather and much less of the party people! :)

It really depends on what you're looking to do. The best time for partying would be July and August! But I'm assuming that's also the most expensive time..eeeek!

best way is to explore the island on ur own the only pkg i would recommend is to visit the island of delis a must see on a tour guide pkg ,use public transportation for the long haul no taxis,lots of walking ,lots of water,stay out from seaside restaurants and beach chairs ,visit the ANO XORA village and the monastery

Mykonos on a Budget?

I'm planning a trip to Mykonos soon, and I've always heard it's a bit on the pricey side. But I'm wondering, is it possible to enjoy Mykonos on a budget? I’d love to hear any tips or advice on how to save money while still experiencing the island’s charm.

For example, are there affordable places to stay that are still close to the main attractions or beaches? What are some wallet-friendly dining options where I can enjoy local food without breaking the bank? Also, any tips for getting around the island cheaply—would public transport be a good option?

I'm open to suggestions on hidden gems or less touristy spots that offer a more affordable experience. I mean, is it even possible?

Luxury Hotels in Mykonos?

I'm planning a trip to Mykonos and looking for recommendations on the best luxury hotels. I'm hoping to find a place that offers a perfect blend of comfort, stunning views, and top-notch service. A beachfront location would be ideal, but I'm also open to hillside properties with panoramic views of the Aegean Sea. A great pool area, a well-equipped spa, and fine dining options are also important to me.

I've heard about a few options like Cavo Tagoo and Santa Marina, but I'm curious if anyone has personal experiences or other suggestions. I'm aiming for a memorable stay, so any advice on where to find the ultimate Mykonos luxury experience would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance! It's for our anniversary.

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.

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?

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?
