    Beach, Water Body, Leisure

    This beach is a standard Mykonos attraction, only 3 1/2 kilometres away from Mykonos town, but somehow it manages to be slightly prettier than you'd expect. The pale colour of the sand, the bright blue of the water, and the rolling greens of the hills, contrast beautifully with each other. The village around this beach used to be a fishing village and somehow has managed to retain its tradition...Read more

    Paradise Beach

    Bar, Beach, Water Body, Waterfront

    If you are thinking that this beach is as quiet as the Mykonos town, then you are wrong. As one of the first beaches popularized by the hippies, it’s also one of the most happening. Once the preserve of nudist gays, it now caters to both sexes though clothing is still optional. The taverns blast club music all day long all along the beach. The largest campsite on the island also runs from...Read more

    Ftelia Archaeological Site

    Beach, Water Body, Historical Site, Archaeological Site

    A large and natural bay formed by hills seems like the perfect way to shelter the beach.. But the north wind blows directly down south, ripping up waves for windsurfers. And that's why this beach is famous. It is almost always windy, with clear waters, stark and rocky landscapes. And since the wind makes this a poor place to sunbathe, this is almost exclusively a sports beach. There's only one ...Read more
  4. Agrari Beach

    Beach, Water Body, View Point, Leisure

    Like the nearby sister beach this one is also nudist friendly. The beach floor is somewhat pebbly but that only makes for clear waters. Sunbathing is not a problem as they have sunbeds. Visitors to this beach ten to actually trickle down from the bigger Elia Beach nearby as it is quieter. Still there is a nice Beach Bar and a water sports area. A small hotel serves people who want to stay overn...Read more

    Armenistis Lighthouse

    Light House, Landmark, View Point

    Is there anything more romantic than a lighthouse on an island? This 19 meter high structure was constructed in 1891. But it actually towers 184 meters above sea level. And even though it is a testament to the rich maritime history of the island, the lighthouse itself isn't that impressive. However, the view below the lighthouse is breath-taking. The northern location of the lighthouse means th...Read more

    Museum

    Though this is part of the Folklore Museum, the house is named for its previous owner, Lena Skrivanou. It is revered as an authentic Mykonian house for the middle class built in the 19th century, complete with the original furnishings. Once you’re done checking out how life on this island used to be a century ago, it's time to taking all the delights of the museum. Following up on the col...Read more

    Fokos Beach

    Beach, Leisure

    This is one of the most isolated beaches on the island of Mykonos. Most of the official maps barely even note it. But it is wide and clean with barely any people. Naturally that means nudists love this place. There are no big restaurants, nor any hotels. You will not find sunbeds and umbrellas. Make sure to bring most of your beach amenities. But it does have a small and fantastic tavern with d...Read more
  8. Ano Mera

    Neighborhoods

    This is a very pretty village, very conveniently located at the centre of some nice beaches. The architecture is very distinctly Cycladic. Travellers to Mykonos will have a place to stay overnight here. A central square, lined by three Greek tavernas make for a nice hangout. Major things to see in the village include a 16th century Byzantine monastery (Monastery of Our Lady Tourliani). It conta...Read more
  9. Mykonos Vioma Organic Farm

    Food And Drinks, Vineyard, Farm, Adults

    Deep within the eastern heart of Mykonos Islands is this lovely vineyard and farm. You could not ask for a better Greek island countryside experience than at this family-run business. Producing organic wine, produce for the local markets, and offering lovely taste tours of the vineyards, the attraction is owned by Nikos Asimomytis. The wine is definitely the main attraction - reds, whites, and ...Read more
  10. Chora

    Walking Area, Entertainment, Market, Street Market

    Picturesque historical architecture meets cosmopolitan sophistication in Chora a.k.a Mykonos Town. Pristine white building with red, green and blue shutters; clean and crowded streets; boutiques, bars and restaurants; a thriving nightlife, and all this right in the middle of a beautiful Mediterranean bay… yeah, this place did well for itself. The shopping here is expensive but insane! Ve...Read more

    Even though this beach would be decent fare at another place, it falls short by the standards of Mykonos. It is sister to the larger and noisier Kalafatis Beach, and slightly dirtier. It looks disorganised. For a small beach it is fairly noisy with Italian music blaring out over the sand from a nearby establishment. That said, the sea is still nice, even though the bottom of the sea becomes roc...Read more

    Beach, Water Sport, Scuba, Skiing

    This beach is one of the best wind protected beaches on the island. This has led to it being developed as a destination for tranquillity and peace rather than partying. Not only is it highly popular in the summer, it is also very popular with celebrities. It is very well organized, with sunbeds laid out in neat lines, a place to anchor boats and private yachts, a restaurant, a bar, a cafe, and ...Read more
  13. Lia Beach

    Outdoors, Beach, Leisure, Scuba

    The highlights of this beach are not nearly as fancy some of the other beaches in Mykonos. But that is precisely its appeal. It is neatly organized with umbrellas and sunbeds. It is quieter than other beaches in Mykonos. There is a diving and snorkelling centre. It is both gay friendly and family friendly. Definitely try the seafood at the tavern. The restaurant isn't too bad either. The water ...Read more
  14. Megali Ammos

    Beach, Walking Area, Leisure

    On Mykonos, windy beaches tend to be relatively crowd free. For those that don’t mind the wind but to like their beaches to be peaceful, this is where they should go. It is especially convenient thanks to its close location to Mykonos town. All the other quiet beaches are considerably further away. You won’t find the usual amenities of sunbeds and umbrellas here, though. But that ma...Read more

    Beaches in Mykonos tend to look alike for the most part, but usually have a unique selling point that gets them a lot of attention. This elegant arc of sand crystalline blue-green waters is famous for its its terrific panorama. Directly across the sea is the island of Delos, beautiful to photograph at sunset. Surrounded by a cute little village of flower shrouded white houses, with bars, tavern...Read more
