One of my favourite places to stay in Athens is the Kouros Hotel in Plaka. Rooms are small and basic (a little shabby) but very cheap and if you can stay in a room on the top floor, you will be blessed with a balcony with a view of the Akropolis. Great to sit and watch the lights come on on the great rock.
About 15 GBP for a single room with shared facilities. About 22 GBP for a double with shared facilities. Not sure they have private bathrooms. The View!

Hi I am thinking of coming there in january 2011 and febuary 2011. Can someone tell me how cold it really is? Apparently it still gets really cold there? Is it worth coming? or wait til summer?
wait till summer, it cold there, even in Athens. The only warmer places is Crete and maybe Corfu
Depends entirely on what you mean by 'cold'.

Nowhere near freezing point, so not 'cold' at all imo. Chilly, yes..but that is easily dealt with by fdressing in layers and having war, water-resistant outerwear. And how lovely to be there when the crowds are not!
:-)
Definitely wait till summer. Early summer, June, is ideal. The crowds in midsummer are overwhelming.
I totally agree with ranger49. You wouldn't want to make the effort to get there to find that you are cold and miserable. I was there at the end of September last year and I found that to be almost perfect. It just got a bit windy the last day, but not enough to worry us. It's a fabulous place, but I don't think it would be very good if as someone pointd out, some of the shops and restaurant owners had closed up for their annual holiday. Best do some thorough research before you go .
A budget holiday here in May provided a good base to explore the island and others in the Cyclades. Two weeks here and amongst two days car hire,day trips to Tinos and Delos, plus a three night stay on Paros and Naxos and still had time to chill out on some of the many beaches. A wonderful holiday and the weather was getting hotter each day.
Some lovely beaches on Mykonos. Plati Yialos, Ornos, and Paradise beaches are the main ones but the ones only accessible by car are worthwhile too - like the beautiful sandy beach of Panormos with its beach bean bags to sit on.
not much in the villages to see apart from a monastery at Ano Mera.
Enjoy the buzz of Mykonos town in the evening and enjoy the sunsets there
Is it a coincidence that this pretty fishing boat with octopus hanging out to dry is docked so close to where cruise ships disembark? I wonder if it is a permanently anchored fixture placed there by the local Mykonos Tourist Bureau. Do they just change the octopus daily?
I had hoped to get a photo like this on some Greek Island but didn't expect it to be the very first thing I see on Mykonos. Oh well, with "Octopus Drying On Boat" checked off of my list it was time to proceed to white houses, windmills and pelicans.
These windmills are the number one reason people go to Mykonos. You don't believe me? Of course nobody really says "I want to go to Mykonos to see the windmills" but that's what everybody ends up doing first upon arrival to this island.
Mykonos is bare with little more than white houses and a fishing village atmosphere to attract tourists. Add a few windmills along with a couple of pelicans and crowds will keep coming back year after year. Amazing, isn't it?
Do you like this picture? I love it! This is a gift shop located in the little town by the cruise ship port. The shopowner decorated the entire outdoor facade with paintings depicting the windmills of Mykonos. The same vivid blue hue is used in each painting, so it's quite a sight when compared to the dull white color of every building in town. In the window you can see the assortment of Greece souvenirs available inside the shop.
