Thank you for sharing the specifics of where to go! This is something Mykonos is known for. Here's some generic information about it:

Go Horseback Riding in Mykonos, Greece

Considering going horseback riding while in Mykonos, Greece.

I unfortunately don't remember where we went or how the tour was organized because this was a while ago, but I went on a horseback ride with my wife (my kids weren't on this trip) and we had a really great experience. We even had a chance to ride for a bit in the water at one of the more secluded beaches on the island. I highly recommend this experience!

You're welcome! Yes it is. The horse we were on were well trained and seemed to know the route.

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.

Is Mykonos Enjoyable for Solo Travelers?

I’m thinking about going to Mykonos sometime next year, possibly on my own, and I’m curious how enjoyable the island is for solo travelers.

I know Mykonos has a big reputation for nightlife, beach clubs, and groups of friends traveling together, so I’m wondering whether it still feels comfortable and fun if you’re there alone. I’d probably want a mix of beach time, walking around Mykonos Town, good food, maybe a little nightlife, and some sightseeing rather than making the whole trip about partying.

For anyone who has traveled to Mykonos solo, did you find it easy to meet people if you wanted to? Did restaurants, beaches, and bars feel comfortable on your own? I’d also be interested in hearing where you stayed and whether certain areas felt better suited to solo travelers than others.

Best viewpoints in Mykonos?

I’m in the early stages of planning a possible trip to Mykonos and have started researching the best viewpoints on the island. I know about the classic sunset spot near the windmills and Little Venice, but I’m wondering what other viewpoints are worth seeking out, especially ones that aren’t completely packed with crowds.

Are there any higher lookouts, coastal cliffs, quiet hills, or hidden spots where you can really take in the sea and the whitewashed buildings from above? I’d love both sunrise and sunset recommendations, whether they’re easy to reach or require a bit of walking or driving.

Also curious if any viewpoints are near beaches, chapels, or small tavernas where you can linger and enjoy the view longer.

If you’ve been to Mykonos, what viewpoint left the strongest impression on you?

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?
