Welcome to Mykonos, the sparkling jewel of the Cyclades and one of the most iconic destinations in the Mediterranean. Famed for its vibrant beach clubs and jet-set energy, the island also reveals a quieter elegance that rewards travelers looking for more than just a good party.
As a travel design and concierge service, we specialize in creating tailor-made experiences that connect you with the soul of the destination. Whether that means dancing under the stars, dining by candlelight on a hidden beach, or discovering sacred ruins at sunrise.
Here’s our curated guide to when to go, how long to stay, and the best things to do in Mykonos.
When Is the Best Time to Visit Mykonos?
The high season runs from June through September, when Mykonos buzzes with beach parties, international festivals, and warm, sun-drenched days. It’s an exciting time to visit, but also the busiest, expect packed restaurants and premium rates.
Prefer a more relaxed pace? The shoulder months April to early June and late September to October offer lovely weather, fewer crowds, and a more serene side of the island. Even in winter, Mykonos has its charms: quiet beaches, cozy tavernas, and incredible value for off-season stays.
How Many Days Should You Spend in Mykonos?
We recommend three to four days to fully enjoy what Mykonos has to offer. Spend your first day on the beach, explore the shops and cafés of Little Venice in the afternoon, and toast the sunset at the windmills. The next day, take a boat to Delos, one of Greece’s most sacred and impressive archaeological sites.
With more time, you can explore secluded beaches, enjoy a private tasting menu, or take part in a wellness retreat curated to your needs.
Getting to and Around Mykonos
Mykonos is easily accessible by flight or ferry. In the summer, direct connections from major European cities are frequent, and ferries from Athens or nearby islands run daily.
Getting around the island is simple. Whether you prefer private car service, scooter, ATV, or even yacht charter, we handle the details so you can focus on enjoying the journey.
Top Experiences & Things to Do in Mykonos
Unwind on Mykonos’ Most Iconic Beaches
With more than 25 beaches, Mykonos offers something for everyone from music-filled shores lined with daybeds to quiet coves perfect for unwinding. Paradise and Paraga bring the party vibes, while Elia and Kalafatis are great for families and watersports. For peace and space, Agios Sostis and Panormos feel wonderfully remote. Wherever your beach mood takes you, we’ll help you find your perfect spot.
Dive Into the Blue
With crystal-clear waters and dramatic underwater landscapes, Mykonos is a dream for swimmers, snorkelers, and divers. Whether you're exploring hidden caves or simply floating in the Aegean, the sea here has a way of clearing your mind and lifting your spirit.
Experience Sunset, the Mykonos Way
There’s a reason sunsets in Mykonos are legendary. Watch the sun melt into the sea from a candlelit table in Little Venice, take in panoramic views from the windmills, or board a private boat and toast golden hour from the water. It’s one of those rare moments that feels cinematic and entirely yours.
Discover the Sacred Island of Delos
A short boat ride away, Delos is a UNESCO World Heritage site steeped in mythology. Walk among ancient ruins, temples, and mosaics as you imagine life on the island said to be the birthplace of Apollo and Artemis. It’s a powerful contrast to Mykonos’ modern glamour and an unforgettable experience.
Indulge in a Wellness Escape
Beyond the energy of the island lies a peaceful rhythm. Reconnect through morning yoga by the sea, indulge in a massage at your villa, or enjoy a quiet afternoon at a spa carved into the cliffs. Whether you're recharging after a night out or simply seeking stillness, wellness in Mykonos feels effortless and restorative.
Taste the Island
Dining in Mykonos is both refined and soulful. From cliffside restaurants with sweeping sea views to family-run tavernas hidden in stone alleys, the island’s cuisine tells a story. Think grilled octopus, just-caught fish, wild herbs, creamy cheeses, and crisp local wine. We can even arrange private chefs or tasting menus served at sunset in your villa.
Mykonos is more than a destination it’s a feeling. It’s the glow of the sun on your skin, the salt in your hair, the sound of laughter floating over clinking glasses, and the joy of discovering something just for you. Whether it’s your first time or your fifth, this island has a way of surprising you and staying with you long after you’ve left.
