Are there any swanky restaurants or clubs that would be great for us celebrating New Year's and New Year's Eve in Mykonos? I would love to be somewhere that has great energy and perhaps fireworks and great food. I've had a really stressful year and I would love to celebrate the new year with a bang! Please let me know if you are in Mykonos, I would love to receive any recommendations from locals or those who frequently visit!
 
You know what, I have no clue - I am most in tune with what's going on in Corfu. When I tried to look online to help you out, I found this article:

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?

Renting a Car on Mykonos?

I’m heading to Mykonos for a week and trying to decide if renting a car is worth it for at least a few days. Normally when I travel to Greek islands, I like walking and using buses when possible, but this trip might be a little different.

The apartment we rented looks beautiful, but it’s a bit tucked away from Mykonos Town and not really within walking distance of much. I’m starting to wonder if relying on taxis all week will become expensive or inconvenient, especially at night.

For people who have been recently, would you recommend renting a car? Was parking difficult around the island or beaches? Also, how are the roads for someone who hasn’t driven there before?

I’m mainly hoping to explore beaches, tavernas, and spend some evenings in town without constantly stressing about transportation. Trip is during the summer.

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!

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?

Quieter Beaches in Mykonos?

I'm gathering information for a cruise that I might book next year, and one of the ports would be Mykonos. I've heard a lot about the island's famous beach clubs and party atmosphere, but that's not really what I'm looking for.

If we only have a few hours during the cruise stop, are there any quieter beaches where it's possible to simply relax, enjoy the scenery, and maybe go for a swim without loud music and big crowds? I'd much rather have a peaceful experience than spend the afternoon at a party beach.

If the beaches are still very busy, what else would you recommend doing with limited time in Mykonos? I'd love to wander through the town, enjoy some local food, or see a few highlights. I'd appreciate any suggestions from people who've visited during a cruise stop.
