Things to do in Mykonos

Why go to Mykonos

• Little Venice

  Iconic waterfront neighborhood where colorful balconies hang dramatically over the Aegean Sea.

• Windmills of Kato Mili

  The postcard symbol of Mykonos, seven 16th-century windmills perched above the harbor at golden hour.

• Paradise & Super Paradise Beaches

  World-famous party beaches with turquoise water, beach clubs, and a legendary anything-goes atmosphere.

• Delos Archaeological Site

  A short ferry ride reveals one of the ancient world's most sacred and well-preserved Greek ruins.

• Mykonos Town (Chora)

  A labyrinth of dazzling white alleys, boutiques, chapels, and rooftop bars that rewards endless wandering.

Good to know in Mykonos

• Use the KTEL Mykonos public buses (€2-3 per ride) to reach most beaches, they run frequently in summer and are far cheaper than taxis or ATVs.
• Tipping is appreciated but not mandatory; rounding up or leaving 10% at sit-down restaurants is considered generous.
• Tap water is not potable on Mykonos, always buy or refill bottled water, as the island's water is desalinated and not safe to drink from taps.
• The Delos archaeological site offers free entry on the first Sunday of each month from November through March, plan accordingly for a major saving.
