Mykonos is one the Cycladic islands in the Aegean Sea. It is a place that you either have a huge aversion to or a huge love for. It is a stunning island with raw, dry natural beauty and exquisite beaches. However, during July and August it offers an extremely active party scene and a busy cosmopolitan air, that is not for everyone! 

 

How to get there:

By air: daily flights

By boat: daily ship and high-speed ferry departures from the ports of Piraeus and Rafina

 

 

Where to stay:

There are a great number of hotels and rooms for rent.

Andronikos Hotel, situated a few meters above the old port, is decorated with works of art and offers friendly service.

Beaches:  

All the beaches are busy, with very few exceptions. The most famous “hot spots” are Super Paradise, Psarou, Paraga and Paradise. More quiet and very beautiful are Lia, Elia, Agrari, Agrari, Agios Stefanos, Agios Sostis and Kalo Livadi.  

 

Where to eat:

The restaurant choice is enormous! Some of the most popular choices are: Nammos, a trendy restaurant on Psarou beach, Matsuhisa (Nobu) Mykonos, Sea Satin near the old port, Katrin’s, Niko’s Tavern (where Peter the Pelecan takes his nap) and cosmopolitan Phillipi. In Ano Mera, try La Cucina di Daniele.
