Beaches

Relaxing beaches in Mykonos

Escape the party scene to relax and rejuvenate on quiet stretches of beachy paradise in Mykonos.

Located near the chapel of Agios Ioannis, Kapari Beach offers views across to Delos and a sandy stretch free from sunbeds or beach bars. Stay for incredible sunset views.
Far from the popular southern beaches, Fokos rests within a scenic, rocky bay on the northern side of the island. Other than a traditional tavern, there’s no development to interrupt nature’s beauty.
Lia Beach is organised with sunbeds and colourful umbrellas, but it retains a relaxing vibe across a wide stretch of white sand. Take your mask and snorkel to explore the underwater world around rocky outcrops.
Take the small path down to the protected cove of Agio Sostis, one of the island’s unspoiled beaches. You’ll enjoy views of the surrounding hills and around 250 metres of white sand for strolling.
Pack a picnic and water for a trip to the island’s northeast tip and the beaches of Pano and Kato Tigani. Serenity is assured with nothing but rocky landscapes and transparent waters in the vicinity.

Beaches in Mykonos

Holidays in Mykonos offer front row seats to some of the most spectacular beaches in Greece.

The party’s always pumping on Paradise Beach. Start your day with jet skiing and hire a sunbed to chill out. As the afternoon fades to night, beach bars, clubs and lounges set the scene for fun. Nearby Super Paradise Beach offers a similar vibe.
Famous for its celebrity fans, Psarou Beach beckons with a bay framed by calm, turquoise water and golden sand. If you’re visiting in summer, you’ll need to reserve sunbeds and tables at a range of parties and events.
Sunbeds and umbrellas coat the sand at Elia Beach, one of the island’s longest and most popular. This is another party beach, with international DJs rocking the tunes at beach bars along the coast.
You’ll find Mykonos hotels practically spilling onto the sand at Platis Gialos. With boat trips, water sports and shallow water, this is a top spot for families.
Within walking distance of Platis Gialos, Paraga is separated by a headland that creates a calm section in the south and party-central at the northern end.

Nightlife in Mykonos

Whether you like serene sunset cocktails or all-night rave parties on the sand, Mykonos nightlife is world-famous for good reason.

For sweeping views of the ocean with relaxing music and exotic cocktails, start your evening at the 180 Sunset Bar. The cocktails feature wildflowers and fresh fruits, and you’ll snap amazing selfies on a backdrop of custom-made frames.
Enjoy a drink in a chic cocktail bar in Little Venice and walk towards the centre of Chora. Along the way, take your pick of lively tavernas, disco pubs and bars in the maze of streets.
Situated on Paradise Beach, Paradise Club is the most famous of them all. House, techno and rock music kicks off the party in the afternoon. DJs, shows and fireworks take you through to the wee hours.
Wear your dancing shoes for an open-air dance floor with ocean views. The clifftop Cavo Paradiso is a globally-renowned venue that hosts celebrity DJs, up to 3,000 revellers and full moon parties.

Mykonos couples holidays

Breathtaking sunsets, impossibly pretty villages and atmospheric restaurants make Mykonos a romantic’s dream.

Little Venice has inspired famous paintings and proposals with its quaint charm on a sparkling ocean backdrop. Stroll the streets to visit art exhibits by day and sit on the edge of the sea for a romantic dinner.
Take a short, scenic ferry ride to the historic island of Delos. Mythology suggests that it’s the birthplace of Apollo and Artemis. You’ll see ancient mosaics and the columns of the House of Dionysus.
Set sail to explore the island’s beaches and top snorkelling spots in turquoise seas. Many sailing cruises include unlimited drinks, tasty Greek snacks and the chance to watch the sunset from the ocean.
If you’re not feeling up for a big night out at bars and clubs, head to Cine Manto. There’s a romantic, open-air cinema in a garden setting, along with food and art exhibits.

From family holidays to couples escapes and long weekends with friends, Mykonos offers fun for everyone.

Dive into the crystal-clear waters at Agrari Beach, a relaxing stretch that’s a little off the beaten path. You’ll find umbrellas, sunbeds and a beach tavern, with plenty of empty sand to spread out.
One of the most romantic places in Mykonos, Little Venice features a picturesque cluster of Venetian buildings on the waterfront, winding streets and an atmospheric dining scene.
Love a cold beer on a hot day? Make a beeline for the Mykonos Brewing Company. Take a tasting tour to learn about the process of crafting beer at the popular microbrewery.
If you’re a shopaholic, you’ll love Matoyianni Street in Chora. The island’s main shopping strip is lined with designer stores, handmade jewellery shops and souvenir stores. During summer, the shops are open until around midnight.

History and culture in Mykonos

It’s not all about dazzling beaches and nightlife in Mykonos. Ancient sites, mythology and museums let you delve into fascinating history.

Visit the Monastery of Paleokastro, a whitewashed Cycladic structure perched on a hill near Ano Mera. It dates from the 18th century and once housed a nunnery.
Snap your own postcard-perfect image of the famous Mykonos windmills. Built in the 16th century by the Venetians to mill wheat, they're perfectly clustered together on a hill overlooking the harbour.
The Ftelia Archaeological Site highlights remnants of a Neolithic settlement that dates back to about 5,100 BC. Excavations have revealed ceramics, arrowheads and animal bones. It’s believed that the site housed the tomb of the ancient war hero, Ajax the Locrian.
Beautiful Paraportiani Church is one of the most photographed in Greece, sitting pretty on a blue ocean backdrop. It consists of five small churches, the oldest of which in the 14th-century Agios Anargyros.
Immerse in the past with wreck diving in the magical waters of the Aegean. Explore new and old ships, including the Anna II cargo ship that now houses a colourful artificial reef.

Food and drink in Mykonos

With so much time in the sun, sand and sea, you’ll work up an appetite. The fantastic dining scene in Mykonos doesn’t disappoint.

Follow your nose around the delightful jumble of streets in the capital, Chora, otherwise known as Mykonos Town. You’ll find restaurants, cafes and tavernas with menus to suit everyone.
For package holidays with the kids, stay in the family-friendly resort of Ornos. The bustling village boasts a wealth of traditional tavernas, beachfront cafes and a range of accommodation options.
Perched on the rocks overlooking Agia Anna cove, Spilia Sea Side Restaurant and Cocktail Bar offers dream worthy views to go with your seafood. Speaking of which, look forward to fresh oysters, mussels and lobster.
The small village of Klouvas is known for its traditional restaurants serving Mediterranean cuisine. It’s home to handmade Greek ice cream stores and the Mykonian Spiti cooking school.

Traditional cuisine in Mykonos

From abundant seafood to street food and traditional specialities, it’s always a good time for a Greek feast in Mykonos.

Kopanisti is an aromatic cheese and a Mykonos speciality that’s famous throughout Greece. Enjoy the creamy, thick texture spread across fresh bread.
Mykonos sausages are typically sun-dried, rather than smoked, and they’re prized on the island. Traditionally, the sausages are prepared with salt, oregano, pepper and spices.
If you’re wondering what to pair with your shot of ouzo, look no further than Mostra. The simple snack combines a barley rusk spread with kopanisti cheese and topped with juicy diced tomato, olive oil, oregano and capers.
The island delicacy of Louza is a tasty cold cut consisting of thin slices of spiced, cooked pork. It’s dried in the winter sun and marinated with spices.
Along with shots of chilled ouzo, you’ll enjoy a range of drinks including local wine and Tsipouro brandy. Soumada is a non-alcoholic, sweet option made from rose water, sugar and almonds.
