Things to do in Mykonos
Whitewashed lanes, windmills and the Aegean’s best beaches
A favourite for honeymoons
Mykonos pairs a pretty Cycladic old town — white lanes, the iconic windmills and the waterfront of Little Venice — with glamorous beach clubs and famous nightlife. It’s also the jump-off for the sacred ancient island of Delos. Two or three days; a short flight or ferry from Athens.
Glamorous and romantic — white-lane strolls, Little Venice sunsets and beach-club days for two.
Time needed
2–3 days
Best time
June and September for warm weather without the peak-August prices and crowds

Mykonos tips
- Pre-book beach clubs and dinners in peak season — the popular ones fill up.
- Delos closes on Mondays and the boat doesn’t run in rough weather — check before planning.
- Mykonos is pricey; ferries and self-catering stays soften the cost.
