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.
