Mykonos Travel Guide

 12 Reviews  This place is AWESOME! It's a total scene from morning 'till night. The beach is pretty rocky, but you can rent a chair for the day. Don't e afraid to bargain low. They would ask for 4EUR/chair, and we would bargain down to 1.50 or 2. It's a bit more mellow until about 4 pm when the bar scene starts... 

 18 Reviews  The Kastro bar behind the Little Venice area in Mykonos town is a beautifully decorated place with a great view to the sea, serving quality coffee. We were caught in Mykonos on a rainy morning, which we spent in this very pleasant space. We had nice souvlaki in Sakis grill, upper end of Matoyanni... 

 16 Reviews  In 1954 after a particuarly severe storm, Petros the pelican decided to give up travelling and settle on Mykonos permanently. He wandered around the port town of Hora for the next thirty years delighting both the locals and the visitors alike. After his death, the locals decided to keep the... 

 19 Reviews  Probably the most recognisable feature of Mykonos (next to everything being painted white) would be the windmills. Originally 16 in number, they were used to grind the agricultural harvests by harnessing the famous Mykonos wind for power. The five that overlook Mykonos Town (Hora or Chora) are... 

 8 Reviews  This small and discreet church is a very uncommon construction: built from the 15Th to the 17Th, it is only the visible part of an ensemble of five chapels, four of them underground. Security reasons? Escaping from heat? Maybe! the thickness of the walls, and its pure white may confirm that idea. 

 4 Reviews  No visit to Mykonos would be complete without even a short visit to Super Paradise Beach. We were there in the off season and relatively early in the morning as well, so we had the beach just about all to ourselves. Not that we had come to do any nude sunbathing mind you. We just wanted to see the... 

 11 Reviews  Depending on where you do your research you will get varying tallies for the numbers of little white churches on Mykonos. I've found numbers ranging from 250 to 365. Why so many? You may well ask. The majority of the little white churches are privately owned and you will see them everywhere. They... 

 4 Reviews  If it's water-skiing, para-sailing, windsurfing or boating that you like, then Elia Beach is the place for you. This is a lovely long sandy beach on the South Coast of Mykonos and there are plenty of tavernas to drop into for a cool drink and a bite to eat when you have finished. If you just want to... 

 7 Reviews  Although Santorini has traditionally captured the top place for the most beautiful sunsets in the Greek islands, the sunset in Mykonos has magical moments to offer. The best place to catch the sunset is at the Little Venice area. Have a drink at Katerina's Bar and view the sunset from its balcony.... 

 10 Reviews  Ok, here we are, Petros is the legendary pelican of Mykonos! The first one has died many years before but the locals always bring another one to replace every time and for some strange reason they call it Petros again! At my last visit (last April) I saw 4 of them! Don’t worry where to find the... 

 4 Reviews  Plats Yialos Beach...it is famous, everybody knows it...you kind of have to come here, to see it for yourself. Personally this was the one beach I didn't care for soooo much. It is really very crowded (some others are, too, but tis one is so compact it seemed like everybody was really on top of each... 

 2 Reviews  The next most significant village after Hora on Mykonos is Ano Mera. Don't blink, you'll miss it! It lies about 9 kms from Hora and is home to the lovely Monastery and Church of Panagia Tourliani. Ano Mera also sports an interesting lttle town square with an array of restaurants and other assorted... 

 1 Review  Panormos is one of my most prefered beaches.I usually come here after 3.00pm where in other beaches start the party.You will find... (if you find) the best lounge beach-bar restaurant you have ever been.It is full covered with an army parachute in sandy color,which really makes this place not...

There is a place named FLIX on the sourroundings but i think is for 100% greek people (not sure). The picture...

 2 Reviews  if you are doing a package hol to mykonos tell the travel agent you dont need the transfers as they cost about 30 quid and a taxi from the airport to town costs about 5 quid and is far quicker and easier than being herded on the coach with other tourists. 

 3 Reviews  There are numerous airlines going to Mykonos if you're not travelling on a "package holiday". Of course, there are all kinds of options if you've gone to a travel agent and booked a trip which includes your air and hotel, because then you're most likely to end up on a charter airline. But if you...
