Mykonos Town

Begin your adventure in Mykonos Town, where you can wander along the bustling harbour and explore the enchanting Little Venice. This picturesque area is home to quaint cafes, stylish bars, and chic boutiques – perfect for a leisurely afternoon of shopping or sipping cocktails by the sea. Don’t miss the iconic Paraportiani Church, a whitewashed marvel where visitors gather to enjoy the breathtaking sunset views over the town and the sea.

windmills

Just a short walk from the town, you’ll find the five iconic windmills that stand tall on a hill overlooking the sparkling waters. Dating back to the 16th century, these windmills once played a key role in the island’s grain production and are now a popular historic landmark. It’s the perfect spot for photos, with a view that will leave you speechless.

Ano Meria

For a taste of local life, head to Ano Meria, the oldest village on the island. Here, you can explore traditional life, visit the beautifully decorated Pangia Tourliani Monastery, and stop at local bakeries, tavernas, and cafes with lovely outdoor terraces. This peaceful, picturesque village is the ideal spot for a relaxed lunch in the sun.

beaches of Mykonos

The beaches of Mykonos are legendary, each offering something unique for every traveller. If you’re looking for a high-energy beach with non-stop fun, Paradise Beach and Super Paradise Beach are the places to be. These beaches are perfect for those who want to party day and night, with beach bars, DJs, and a buzzing atmosphere.

If you prefer a more relaxed day by the sea, Elia Beach and Psarou Beach offer a more tranquil environment where you can unwind, soak up the sun, and enjoy the serene waters. For those with a taste for adventure, Kafais Beach is ideal for windsurfing and other water sports

Agios Ioannis Beach

Fans of the classic rom-com ‘Shirley Valentine’ will love visiting Agios Ioannis Beach, where many of the movie’s iconic scenes were filmed.
