Not feeling Mykonos?

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.
