Mid-Range Android vs. Old iPhone: You Should Buy the iPhone

How your iphone can make your driving experience better, i use these iphone shortcuts to rescue my unproductive days, quick links, fill passwords in safari and web views, fill passwords in other apps.

Everyone should use a password manager , and third-party password managers like LastPass , 1Password , or Dashlane work better on an iPhone or iPad than you might think. You can directly autofill passwords on websites and apps using a share sheet action. It's just hidden by default.

UPDATE: If you’re on iOS 12, there’s a new and improved password manager integration that’s incredibly easy to use. 

Your iPhone or iPad offers integrated password autofill , too...as long as you use Apple's keychain for your passwords. Safari will prompt you and ask whether you want to save a password when you type one on a website, and so will some third-party apps. You can view these passwords from Settings > Accounts & Passwords > App & Website Passwords. However, the below tricks will help you use third-party password managers.

Related: Why You Should Use a Password Manager, and How to Get Started

Third-party password managers work in Safari, Chrome, Firefox, and any other application that uses a "web view" that displays a web page. Unlike on desktop browsers, this autofill doesn't happen automatically. You have to tap a button to autofill your credentials, which is good for security , anyway.

To do this, navigate to the login page on the website where you want to fill a username and password  and tap the "Share" button. For example, in Safari, the Share button is at the bottom of the screen. In Chrome, tap the men button and then tap the "Share" button at the top left corner of the menu.

Related: How to Customize the iOS Sharing Menu

You will first need to enable the share sheet action before you can use it. Once you've done this a single time, it will be easily available in the future. To do this, scroll to the right on the second row of icons and tap "More".

Locate your password manager's action and enable it. You may have to scroll down to find it. You can touch the grippy handle and move your finger to reorder actions in the list. For example, if you drag your password manager's action to the top of the list here, it will appear at the left side of the action list on the sheet and be more easily accessible without any scrolling required.

If you don't see the password manager's action in this list, you will first need to install the password manager's app from the App Store. As long as the app is installed, its action will appear as an option you can enable.

Tap "Done" once you're done.

You can now tap your password manager's icon on the share sheet to start autofilling. Your password manager will first authenticate you, just as if you opened its app. For example, LastPass can use Touch ID or Face ID for this.

Once it's authenticated, you'll be able to choose a login. It'll show you logins that match the current website available in your web browser, so you can choose your preferred account if you have multiple ones. Tap the account and the credentials will be automatically filled on the current page.

These password manager actions also work in some other apps, but only if that app's developer has added a button to support third-party password managers.

If an app does support your password manager, you'll see a keyhole or lock icon in or near its password field. Tap it and you'll be able to choose your password manager action to autofill a username and password associated with the app, just as you could in your browser.

If you don't see this icon, you'll have to either manually type in your username and password or copy and paste it from your password manager app.

Don't let your browser autofill your passwords — here's why

Autofilling passwords exposes them to any malicious script on a webpage

You should turn off autofill in your password manager, and stop using some browser password managers altogether, argues a Czech security researcher.

"Most password managers have the autofill feature enabled by default, even though it reduces the security of the stored password," said Marek Toth, a penetration tester at Avast, in a recent blog post .

• Microsoft now lets you log in without any password at all
• The best password managers you can get
• Plus: How to download YouTube videos in Chrome

Autofilling is when your password manager fills in the username and password fields in a website's login page with your saved credentials without you actively prompting the password manager. 

The characters pasted into the field can then be "read" by scripts present in the login page — such as might be preset in an online ad that has nothing to do with the page itself — and those scripts will be able to copy and send your username and password anywhere. 

Of course, those scripts could also read your username and password when you actively fill in the fields when logging in, but at least you have control over when that happens. 

Autofilling tries to fill those fields all the time. Malicious scripts can and sometimes do create invisible login fields that you can't see to catch those credentials without your knowledge, as three researchers discovered in 2017 .

Toth found that most major web browsers, including Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Internet Explorer, Opera and Vivaldi automatically filled in usernames and passwords by default, as did the stand-alone password managers LastPass , Dashlane and Sticky Password .

The Safari and Brave browsers did not autofill passwords, Toth said, nor did the 1Password , RoboForm and Bitwarden password managers. Another password manager, Keeper , will autofill passwords on a site-by-site basis with user permission.

"By activating autofill by default, our users perceive the value of a password manager sooner," Dashlane Chief Technology Officer Frédéric Rivain told us. "This ultimately increases their chances to continue using a password manager and thus become more and more secure."

"The autofill also provides an anti-phishing protection as Dashlane only suggests users' information on the specific website linked to their password," Rivain added. "The only vulnerability identified is when an attacker has modified the website you're logging into, in which case they can steal your password whether or not you have autofill enabled."

"We are constantly evaluating ways to improve the autofill flow to protect our users while still offering a convenient login experience," said Dan DeMichele, vice president of product management at LastPass. "we always recommend users only visit sites and click on links that they trust to prevent against potential attempts to steal login information."

"If the user wants to be in control of the credential filling, this option is available as an extension preference setting and, for Business users, as a policy," DeMichele added. "Delivering a secure service for our users remains our top priority."

We've got instructions below on how to disable autofill in Dashlane, LastPass and the browsers in which it's possible.

See what happens for yourself

You can see what Toth is talking about by using his online demonstration. Enter a fake username and password into the login fields on this page, and let your browser or password manager save the credentials:

https://websecurity.dev/password-managers/login/

Then go in the same browser to this page. You may have to click somewhere on the page or click on the "Allow Notifications" box for this work:

https://websecurity.dev/password-managers/autofill/

If your browser or password manager automatically fills in passwords, you'll see the username and password you typed in displayed on the page. 

That's a major security risk because not only you can see those credentials, but a malicious script embedded in the web page might be able to as well. 

Modern websites are full of third-party tracking scripts, embedded frames and dynamic ads that often have nothing to do with the company running the website, and any one of those elements might be able to steal your username and password.

This isn't a new discovery, to be sure. We found several older blog posts by different researchers advocating against letting browsers and password managers autofill passwords. Here's a demo, related to the 2017 study mentioned earlier, that tests whether browsers are autofilling:

https://senglehardt.com/demo/no_boundaries/loginmanager/index.html

And here are the results:

How to disable autofilling

So how do you get around this? 

Well, first of all, stop using browsers to save your passwords, or at least sensitive passwords such as those for social media, email and anything that involves credit cards or financial transactions, including banking and shopping sites. It's already too easy to steal saved passwords from web browsers in other ways.

You can't even disable autofilling in many Chromium-based browsers, including Chrome, Opera and Vivaldi. Brave is an exception because it doesn't autofill to begin with, and Edge has a special Microsoft-only setting. 

How to disable autofilling in Firefox

1. Open a new tab.

2. Click the gear icon at the top right of the page.

3. Scroll down to and click Manage more settings.

4. Click Privacy and Security in the left-hand navigation bar.

5. Scroll down to Logins and Passwords and deselect "Autofill logins and password".

How to disable autofilling in Microsoft Edge

Microsoft gets around Chromium's limitations by adding a Windows security check if you disable autofill. You'll have to input your Windows user password if you want the browser to fill in your passwords.

1. Click the three horizontal dots at the top right of the browser window.

2. Scroll down to and click Settings.

3. In the Personal profile window that appears, select Passwords.

4. Under "Offer to save passwords/Sign in", select "With device password."

5. Enter your Windows user password.

How to disable autofilling in LastPass

Instead of using a browser to save your passwords, use a password manager. LastPass is our top choice among best password managers, but it's one of the main offenders in autofilling. 

The option is turned on by default, even though if you turn autofilling off and then turn it back on again, you get a big fat warning pop-up telling you it's a security risk. 

Here's how to turn off autofilling in LastPass:

1. Click the LastPass extension icon in your web browser.

2. Scroll down to and click Account Options.

3. Click Extension Preferences.

4. Under General, deselect "Automatically fill login information".

LastPass will still work fine after you make this change. To log into websites for which LastPass has saved the credentials, you'll just have to click the LastPass icon that displays in each login form field.

How to disable autofilling in Dashlane

The other big password manager that autofills by default is Dashlane. You'll have to disable autofill on a site-by-site basis.

1. Open the Dashlane web interface, mobile app or desktop application.

2. Select the credential you want to edit.

3. Under Autofill options, deselect "Automatically log me into this website".

Safari autofill international phone number

Safari Autofill keeps removing the "+" sign from my phone number. I'm located in Moscow, Russia and whenever I order something the phone should be provided in international format , i.e +7 and so on.

This is exactly how the phone is filled in my contact card and when I click on autofill it also shows a plus sign, but when I click to fill it is removed. It is very annoying to add it manually each time and it makes autofill useless.

Is there a way to fix this please?

15 Best Things to Do in Mykonos (Greece)

Mention Mykonos and a few images will spring to mind, whether it’s celebrities sunbathing on yachts, bright white Cycladic architecture or paradisiacal beaches.

One of the most popular islands in the Aegean, Mykonos has a fun-loving, cosmopolitan atmosphere and is well-established as a gay-friendly destination.

You’ll want to spend as much time as possible in the fashionable and arty Chora (Mykonos Town) getting share-worthy shots of the famous windmills and pure white houses. Even the cracks between the marble paving stones are painted white here.

Afterwards you can investigate the enchanting ruins of Delos and head off to all corners of Mykonos in a matter of minutes, hunting down the best beaches and vantage points.

Let’s explore the best things to do in Mykonos :

1. Mykonos Windmills

The first sight that hoves into view before you pull into the harbour is this row of seven white windmills posted on a small cape.

These would most likely have been built by the Venetians as long ago as the 16th century and are oriented to the north to catch the prevailing wind.

They were built close to the harbour to mill grain offloaded from ships to make it easier to transport.

The mills have become a symbol for the whole of island and are a simple walk southwest of the Alefkandra quarter.

There’s a small gift shop next to the road, and you can join the gaggle of photographers taking snaps of the white mills contrasted by the blues of the sky and sea.

Recommended tour : Mykonos Walking Tour

2. Matogianni Street

A north to south street through Mykonos Town, with little alleys darting off it, Matogianni Street is where it all happens.

By day you can idle along, perusing souvenir shops, boutiques, jewellery stores and a couple of international chains like Sephora and Lacoste.

When hunger strikes you could opt for a souvlaki or gyro or sit down at one of many tavernas, which tend to be more reasonably priced here deeper in the town.

And in the evening there’s a delectable choice of restaurants at romantic spots with bougainvillea climbing the walls, and bars that do a roaring trade to the early hours.

At the old harbour you can set sail for one of Greece’s most treasured archaeological sites.

The island of Delos is just a couple of kilometres from the southwest coast of Mykonos and its excavations have been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

If you’re up to scratch on Olympian Greek mythology you may know Delos as the birthplace of the twin gods Apollo and Artemis.

But more than a thousand years beforehand the island was already a venerated holy sanctuary.

There’s a lot to discover, like the Terrace of the Lions from the 7th century BC, the Doric Temple of the Delians, the Minoan Fountain, a series of market squares and the Theatre Quarter, laid with splendid mosaics.

You can also see phenomenal Hellenistic mosaics at the House of Dionysos, the House of Masks, House of the Trident, House of the Lake and House of the Dolphins.

4. Delos Archaeological Museum

After 30 years of excavations the French School of Athens needed a museum for all its discoveries on Delos, and this was inaugurated in 1904. The archaeological digs have continued for more than 145 years, and the museum had to be expanded in 1931 and 1972 to accommodate all of this material.

The oldest pieces here are the ceramics, going back more than 3,500 years.

There are also numerous grave statues and stele from the 7th to the 1st century BC, as well as clay figurines, mosaics, jewellery and everyday items from the Hellenistic Period.

Among the must-sees is a bronze mask of Dionysos from the 2nd century BC, an ivory plaque with a relief of a Mycenaean warrior as old as 1400 BC and a magisterial sculpture of Boreas kidnapping Oreithya from the end of the 5th century BC.

5. Alefkandra (Little Venice)

Around the western lip of the Old Harbour is a gorgeous web of little car-free alleys.

These are laid with the typical dark marble paving stones with cement coated with the same brilliant white paint as the houses.

It’s the waterside that gives Little Venice its nickname, where restaurants open on to a narrow path less than a metre above the sea and tables for couples line the way.

These buildings have slightly shambly wooden bay window boxes and balconies painted in blues and greens.

Facing west, the sunsets are impossibly beautiful, so try to get a table before twilight, and look down round to see the windmills catching the last rays.

Suggested tour :  Mykonos and Little Venice Sunset Cruise

6. Old Harbour

After catching the SeaBus from the new port at Tourlos you’ll disembark at the marble quays of the Old Harbour.

On the east side are the arcades of the Town Hall dating to the 1700s, in front of which is the tiny church of Agios Nikolaos, crowned with a blue dome.

There’s a string of bars and restaurants hugging the curve of the harbour and if you investigate the side streets you’ll come across boutiques, design shops and tasteful souvenir stores, shoulder to shoulder with quaint little churches like Agia Eleni and Agios Kirykos.

7. Church of Panagia Paraportiani

Just north of Little Venice, in the Kastro neighbourhood is the fascinating Church of Panagia Paraportiani.

This monument was built between the 15th and 17th century and comprises four separate, interconnected churches beneath a fifth built on top.

That highest church is dedicated to the Virgin Mary (Panagia) and is easy to pick out for its dome.

The oldest is Agios Anargyros, begun in 1425, while the remaining four churches were all constructed in the 16th and 17th centuries.

Like the Mykonos Windmills it’s a monument that attracts people for the photo opportunities, framing the asymmetrical white walls against the azure sky.

8. Rarity Gallery

Recently Mykonos has gained a reputation as an art destination, and has a lot to do with the Rarity Gallery.

Founded in 1995, this three-room space was the first to present paintings, sculpture, photography and installations by artists of international standing.

On a visit you can expect to see pieces by established names, but may be surprised by less renowned, emerging talent that the gallery has taken under its wing.

Some of the artists featured over the last two decades include pop artist Julian Opie and Carole Feuerman, known for her hyper-realistic sculpture, and Hong Sung Chul, famed for his three dimensional string sculptures.

9. Archaeological Museum of Mykonos

The island’s own modest but engaging archaeological museum has artefacts recovered from Mykonos and adjacent islands, dating from prehistory to the end of the Hellenistic Period around the 1st century BC. In the large collection of ceramics is a pithos (jar) from the 7th century BC with reliefs depicting the capture of Troy.

There’s also exceptionally old Cycladic patterned pottery from as long ago as 2800 BC, preserved funerary steles from the island of Rineia off Delos and black vases from the Ionian Islands.

Another outstanding piece is a statue of Heracles wielding a club, also from Rineia and fashioned from the finest Parian marble in the 2nd Century BC.

10. Agios Sostis Beach

If you’re craving some space to yourself, make for the beaches in the less frequented north of Mykonos, which is scattered with natural parks.

Agios Sostis has no beachfront bars, restaurants or sun beds and is all the better for it: The beach is noticeably quieter than those in the south, and behind is not much more than gently sloping hills with sparsely dusted with scrub.

Head north and there’s a small village with a taverna and church, and another much smaller cove bathed by shallow, glimmering water.

11. Elia Beach

On the other hand you might want to experience Mykonos at its most vibrant and cosmopolitan.

In which case Elia Beach on the south coast is a great pick.

It’s the longest beach on the island, and is the choice of gay tourists to Mykonos.

Ringed by arid slopes, Elia is a bay with golden sand at its centre and shingle beneath the low cliffs to the east.

Naturists also flock to Elia, and even though this beach is one of the most popular on the island it never feels overcrowded as there’s plenty of room for everyone.

You can hire a jet-ski from the jetty at the centre of the beach or hike up the barren slopes past white Cycladic houses to see the bay in all its splendour from above.

12. Dio Horia

Also at the forefront of the island’s contemporary art scene is Dio Horia, a gallery hosting exhibitions, providing residencies and championing young talent from countries outside the art world’s attention.

In the three years since it opened, Dio Horia has exhibited work by Tracey Emin, David Adamo, Erik Parker and Nina Chanel Abney.

Dio Horia also has a publishing arm, and organises events and pop-up installations around Mykonos.

There are upcoming solo shows in 2018 for the well-known contemporary artists Trudy Benson, Peter McDonald and Raul de Nieves.

13. Kalo Livadi Beach

In the southeast of Mykonos Kalo Livadi is a supreme sandy beach fronting a picturesque valley with clusters of white houses.

A few hundred metres from the coast, the beach has a soft gradient, allowing children to play in the shallows and confident swimmers to venture a long way out without worrying about currents.

The shore has regimented blocks of sun loungers, six deep and divided by wooden walkways.

These are rented out by the restaurants behind and can be pretty pricey, but are worth every penny if you want full service.

If you prefer to go your own way, there’s a patch under the rocks on the west end of the beach where you can lay your towel.

On the west side is a boat charter company with its own jetty if you’re up for a self-navigated voyage.

14. Kalafatis Beach

Two beaches over from Kalo Livadi, Kalafatis is another alluring sandy bay with an arc of golden sand and shallow, clear waters.

What sets this beach apart is that it is oriented to the east, and not far offshore there are generous breezes.

So while you recline on your sun lounger you’ll see windsurfing sails zipping across the horizon.

Joining them in summer are some snazzy-looking yachts anchored in the bay.

Kalafatis also has a watersports centre for motorised activities like wakeboarding, waterskiing and jet-skiing.

On the northern edge of the bay is a quay with waterfront restaurant and where tour boats set off for cruises.

15. Armenistis Lighthouse

Six kilometres north of Chora is a working lighthouse guiding traffic along the strait between Mykonos and neighbouring Tinos.

Positioned far above the water, this edifice was completed with an octagonal tower in 1891 and flashes a white signal every ten seconds.

It was raised in response to a disaster in which the Volta steam ship sank off the north coast of Mykonos in 1887, at the cost of 11 lives.

If you’d like to see the original Fresnel lens, it has ended up at the Mykonos Maritime Museum.

Although you can’t go inside, the lighthouse is a trip worth making for the awesome scenery.

This is best done just after sunset when you can see the lights of Agios Sostis and Laouti on the other side of the strait.

Mykonos is: the sea, the sky, the sun, the hospitality, the fun, the harmony, the charm. A never-ending real myth surrounding us, every part of it a reality, something special, challenging you to live it, taste it, relish it. A barren island, arid, scorched by the sun, full of golden beaches and crystal waters. The white colour, the stone and the scattered mountains are indelible memories in the mind. The natural elements are vivid and strong, filling you, guiding you in new sensations; the air, the sun, the moon are the eternal guides.

The harmony of the Mykonian architecture is astonishing. The location and the way the town of Mykonos is build -inside the Northern eye- the port, the particular colours... It is an exceptional masterpiece. No man and no plan would be able to create something so unique.

Mykonos is the great glamour island of Greece and flaunts its sizzling St-Tropez-meets-Ibiza style and party-hard reputation. The high-season mix of hedonistic holidaymakers, cruise-ship crowds, buff gay men and posturing fashionistas throngs Mykonos Town (aka Hora), a gorgeous whitewashed Cycladic maze, delighting in its cubist charms and its chichi cafe-bar-boutique scene.

Mykonos Travel Guide

Last Updated: June 19, 2024

But it’s tough to resist with its winding streets, small alleys lined with whitewashed houses overlooking a beautiful harbor, centuries-old windmills, beautiful beaches, amazing restaurants, and world-class nightlife.

It’s an energetic island, especially in the summer when it’s bursting to the seams with visitors. Prices skyrocket during this time, making a few days in paradise a costly affair.

While I loved my time in Mykonos, I wouldn’t suggest visiting during July or August — especially if you’re a budget traveler. Come during the shoulder season instead, when prices are a bit lower and the tourist hordes aren’t as thick.

This travel guide to Mykonos can help you plan your trip, save money, and have an epic visit.

Top 5 Things to See and Do in Mykonos

1. Go beach hopping

The beaches here are gorgeous. The water is brilliant turquoise and so clear that it looks like the boats are floating on glass while the soft white sand is perfect for lounging with a book and people watching. Paranga, Paradise, and Super Paradise are the most popular beaches here. Personally, I think Platys Gialos Beach is the most stunning (it’s a wide, sandy beach). Psarou Beach is more laid-back while Elia Beach is the quietest and tame. For wild nights, head to Paradise Beach. At many of the beaches, you can rent lounge chairs, though the tend to be expensive.

2. Relax in Little Venice

Because of the houses on the water, this neighborhood is referred to as Little Venice. During the 14th century, the island was part of the Venetian trade routes, which inspired the architecture (hence the name). It’s a nice place to spend some time eating a meal, having a coffee, or browsing one of the many art galleries. The houses are built in the Italian style and have colorful exteriors. During the late afternoon, lots of people file in to have a drink and watch the sunset for the restaurants on the water. There’s a great view of the windmills here (you can also walk to them as they are just ten minutes away).

3. Wander Mykonos Town

Mykonos Town, or Chora (which means simply “town” in Greek), is the biggest village on the island. It has those iconic whitewashed homes, picturesque windmills, and narrow footpaths leading to churches and boutique shops. All the cobbled streets are pedestrian-only. There are lots of cafes, restaurants, and bars to discover here so spend some time strolling around.

4. Explore Delos Island

Delos is a tiny island off the coast of Mykonos and is a site of huge archaeological importance. Today, the entire island is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with extensive archaeological work still ongoing. The supposed birthplace of the Greek gods Artemis and Apollo, the ruins here include temples, statues, a theatre, and sanctuaries dating back to 3000-2001 BC. This was considered the most sacred island to the ancient Greeks. My favorite part was seeing the remains of buildings and statues that have been standing for thousands of years. Boats leave from Mykonos daily for around 22 EUR round-trip. Admission to the site and museum is 12 EUR. A half-day tour from Get Your Guide (including pick-up, boat transportation, and skip-the-line admission) is around 65 EUR.

5. Visit Panagia Paraportiani

This Byzantine church in the Kastro section of Mykonos Town dates back to 1425 and took around two centuries to complete. It’s part of a larger building composed of five separate churches that are all connected. During the Middle Ages, there was a castle in this spot with a fortified tower that stood next to the church. It’s built in the traditional style of the Greek islands with the whitewashed exterior and domes topped with crosses. These five churches, each dedicated to a different saint, were built over the centuries, with the last one completed in the 17th century. Admission is free. Just be sure to dress respectfully.

Other Things to See and Do in Mykonos

1. hang out at elia beach.

The longest stretch of white sands in Mykonos, this beach also has clear waters ideal for snorkeling. It’s about 10 kilometers (6 miles) from Mykonos Town, which makes for an ideal day trip away from the bustling tourist spots. It’s lined with restaurants and bars, as well as watersports kiosks advertising water-skiing, parasailing, and windsurfing. There are lounge chairs you can rent and palapas where you can find some relief from the sun as well. (Note: Nudists love hanging out here!)

2. Go scuba diving

There’s excellent scuba diving all around Mykonos. You won’t find a lot of coral, but there are lots of fish and a few wrecks. Paradise Reef has a large variety of marine life, including sponges, barracuda, octopus, and starfish. There’s also Dragonisi, an island off the coast of Mykonos, with its unique underwater rock formations. A two-tank dive with Mykonos Diving Center costs around 100 EUR. There are even options for beginners to learn about diving and experience it for themselves. These start at 150 EUR.

3. Visit the Archaeological Museum

This museum won’t take you long to visit as it’s very small, but it contains some treasures, such as a headless statue of Hercules from the 2nd-century BCE, carved beautifully out of Parian marble. There’s also an extensive collection of ceramics from the island that dates back as far as 900 BC. There are also a lot of artifacts from nearby Delos, including pottery and funerary monuments too. It’s 4 EUR to visit.

4. Explore Lena’s House

This is a traditional 19th-century Mykonian house-turned-folk-museum. It contains the original owner’s antique furnishings as well as artwork like paintings, tapestries, and woodcarvings, all laid out to resemble how the house would have looked in the 1800s. Be sure to also check out the display case of 18th-century Mykonian women’s clothing, as well as the two courtyards and dovecote (a building for holding doves or pigeons). Admission is 2 EUR.

5. Watch the sunset at the windmills

The 16 windmills on the hills around Mykonos Town are an iconic symbol of the island (you’ve probably seen them on Instagram). They also happen to be the most popular place to watch the sunset. There will be crowds, so get there early to secure a good spot!

6. Go snorkeling

If you’re not a diver, you can still check out some of the underwater activity by renting snorkeling equipment. Paranga Beach has the island’s best snorkeling conditions with calm weather and clear waters, but you can also hop on a boat tour for some deep-water snorkeling. A boat tour costs about 50-80 EUR per person and lasts a few hours. Renting gear costs around 20 EUR.

7. Take a boat tour

Although this may not be a budget-friendly option, it’s a relaxing way to spend an afternoon or evening. There are cruises for all interests here, from party cruises to more scenic-themed trips. Many cruises go to Delos or the Rhenia Islands (with lots of time for swimming) or let you hang out at Paradise Beach for a bit before having a BBQ back on the boat. Tours start from 49 EUR, while Get Your Guide all-inclusive trips with food and drink start at 70 EUR.

8. Visit the Aegean Maritime Museum

The Aegean Maritime Museum covers everything from ancient Greece to the modern-day. Its exhibits include amphorae and pottery, old nautical maps, navigational instruments, and incredibly detailed models of sailing ships and steamers. The museum is right in the middle of Mykonos Town in a 19th century building that was once home to Captain Nikolaos Sourmelis who helped the Cretans during their war for independence. Don’t miss the giant Fresnel lighthouse in the courtyard before you leave! It’s amazing. Admission is 4 EUR.

9. Tour a vineyard

Mykonos Vioma is a family-run historic vineyard and organic farm that offers tours and tastings. It’s a complete farm-to-table experience, as the farm also produces a variety of products that you’ll also get to sample, including different kinds of vinegar, vine leaves, grape molasses, and honey. You’ll also learn about the wine-making traditions of Mykonos and the processes the farm uses today. If you’re there at the end of September, don’t miss the end-of-season grape harvesting, stomping, and merry-making!

10. See the sunset at Armenistis Lighthouse

This 19th-century, 19-meter-high (62-feet) lighthouse stands on top of a hill on the northeast side of the island. It was built after a British steamship sank off the coast in 1887. It’s still a functional lighthouse and is a reminder of the island’s maritime history. While you can’t go inside, it makes a spectacular spot for sunsets. Because of its strategic location for sea vessels, you get incredible views of the sea and surrounding area. Just keep in mind that the road to get up here is quite steep!

Mykonos Travel Costs

Camping is your cheapest option on Mykonos. At Paradise Beach, you can get a campsite for 18 EUR during peak season, or 12 EUR in the shoulder season. They also have single cabins and prices range on a sliding scale from 34 EUR in April to 90 EUR in July and August. Paradise Beach is closed during the off-season.

Budget hotel prices – Budget two-star hotels start at 195 EUR in peak season, although you can usually find small locally-owned guesthouses that are cheaper. In the off-season, single rooms start at 60 EUR per night.

Mykonos also has lots of Airbnb accommodations. For a private room in peak season, prices start at 140 EUR per night and escalate steeply from there. Entire apartments start from 160 EUR, but average around 300 EUR (and can be as high as 750 EUR per night).

Prices are significantly cheaper in the off-season. A private room ranges from 60-100 EUR per night while an entire apartment averages about 150 EUR per night (but you can find studio apartments for 50 EUR).

Average cost of food – Traditional Greek cuisine is very healthy, using a lot of fresh seasonal vegetables, olive oil, lamb, fish, pork, and cheeses (especially feta). Yogurts are also super common. Filo pastries stuffed with meat or spinach and cheese are a local favorite as are souvlaki and gyros.

To eat cheap, stick with eating gyros, souvlaki, and kebabs. These start around 5 – EUR and easily fill you up. If you’re on a tight budget, you can live off these for as little as 15-20 EUR per day.

Restaurants cost more here than elsewhere in Greece. At one that serves traditional cuisine, expect to pay around 17 EUR for a main dish like moussaka and about 5-8 EUR for a glass of wine. A Greek salad costs 10-12 EUR.

Fish is more expensive, costing around 25 EUR for a fillet and a way too expensive price per kilo, so just avoid ordering per kilo. After that, prices really go up the nicer and more luxurious the restaurant.

All restaurants charge for bread. The price is between 1.50-3 EUR.

Beer is 5-6 EUR while a latte/cappuccino is around 4 EUR. Cocktails are expensive, however, usually costing 12-20 EUR. Bottled water from the supermarket is 0.50 EUR.

If you cook your meals, expect to pay 50-65 EUR per week for groceries including pasta, vegetables, chicken, and other basic staples.

Backpacking Mykonos Suggested Budgets

If you’re backpacking Mykonos, expect to spend at least 90 EUR per day. This budget covers a hostel dorm, taking the bus the get around, cooking most of your meals, eating cheap street food like gyros, limiting your drinking, and doing mostly free activities like hanging out at the beach. If you want to take part in the party scene, you need to add at least another 30 EUR per day. If you travel during peak season, expect to spend closer to 130 EUR per day.

On a mid-range budget of 170 EUR per day, you can stay in an Airbnb during the shoulder season, eat out for all your meals, have a few drinks, take the occasional taxi to get around, and do more paid activities like cruises or snorkeling trips. if you visit during the summer, expect to spend closer to 200 EUR per day for this budget.

On a “luxury” budget of 300 EUR or more per day in the shoulder season, you can stay in a hotel, eat out anywhere you want, drink as much as you’d like, party the nights away, take more taxis or rent a car, and do whatever activities and guided tours you want. This is just the ground floor for luxury though. The sky really is the limit!

Mykonos Travel Guide: Money-Saving Tips

Mykonos is by far the most expensive island in the region and is a tricky place to visit on a budget. There’s not a lot you can do here to cut your costs. If you stick to cheap eats, only see a few attractions, and limit your drinking, you’ll spend less but still more than you would elsewhere. Here are my suggested ways to save money in Mykonos:

• Avoid peak season – If you can, come here before June when the beaches get overcrowded and prices triple. The shoulder season is a must if you’re on a budget.
• Take advantage of free attractions – You can still enjoy Mykonos to the fullest if stick to the free attractions, like visiting the windmills, hanging out on the beaches, and walking around Little Venice and Mykonos Town. You don’t have to take tours and cruises to have fun!
• Redeem hotel points – If you sign up credit cards, you can use those points when you travel. Most cards come with at least 1-2 nights free when you join, which can help you save a lot on your trip. Here’s a post to help you get started with the basics so you can earn points right away and have plenty for your trip.
• Curb your drinking – It’s easy to blow a LOT of cash on partying in Mykonos. If you do want to experience the nightlife, keep it minimal or have a few drinks in your hotel room first.
• Don’t stay in Mykonos Town – Accommodation prices in the town are the most expensive on the island. The further you go from the town, the cheaper things get. There is a decent bus system to get you to and from town so you won’t be isolated.
• Book overnight ferries – Greece’s inter-island ferries can get quite expensive if you are visiting a lot of them. Taking the overnight ferries can save you up to half off the normal price plus save you a night of accommodation.
• Get a ferry pass – Eurail/Interrail has a ferry pass that has 4- and 6-trip options. The only caveat is that you can only take Blue Star and Hellenic Seaways ferries. Those tend to be the larger, slower ferries and, depending on the islands, might require you to connect somewhere. You’ll need to research routes in advance to see if the pass is worth it. I would search routes on FerryHopper to see if it works for you.
• Go to museums on their free admission days – Most museums have some days when admission is free. Check the Odysseus Culture website for details as they vary from museum to museum.
• Bring a water bottle – The tap water here isn’t safe to drink so bring a reusable water bottle to save money and reduce your plastic use. LifeStraw is my go-to brand as their bottles have built-in filters to ensure your water is always clean and safe.

Where to Stay in Mykonos

Mykonos doesn’t have a whole lot of budget accommodations thanks to the high-rolling tourists that visit. Here are some of my suggested places to stay that don’t cost a fortune:

• Studio Eleni
• Mycocoon Hostel Mykonos
• Hotel Milena
• Matina Hotel

How to Get Around Mykonos

The fare for the bus is between 1.60-2.40 EUR, depending on where you’re going. Mykonobus.com offers you a breakdown of routes and schedules. Keep in mind that routes are drastically reduced in the shoulder season and the off-season.

Boat – Mykonos Sea Transfer and Mykonos Seabus are two groups of boat taxi operators that can take you to all of the island’s best beaches, including Paraga, Paradise, Super Paradise, and Elia. It’s an excellent way to do some beach hopping throughout the day. Return trips start at 4 EUR.

Scooter/ATV rental – There are lots of scooter and ATV rental shops all around the island. You can usually find a scooter rental for about 28 EUR per day for one person, while ATVs start from 40 EUR per day for two people. In the off-season, some shops rent out their vehicles for about one-third of that price.

Taxi – You won’t have to go far to find a taxi on Mykonos but wait times can be long during the peak season. Prices are high too. It costs around 14 EUR from Mykonos Town to Platys Gialos, and 22 EUR from Mykonos Town to Kalafatis or Elia. Skip the taxis if you’re on a budget!

Car rental – Car rentals start at 50 EUR per day in the peak season and 20 EUR per day in the shoulder season. Drivers need an International Driving Permit and must be at least 21 years old. For the best rental car deals, use Discover Cars .

When to Go to Mykonos

The peak season in Mykonos is from June to August. Temperatures average in the mid-20s°C (mid-80s°F) each day and this is when the island is busiest (some might even say overcrowded). All the clubs, restaurants, and bars are jam-packed and prices are high. There’s virtually no rain or clouds this time of year so pack for lots of heat and sun.

The shoulder season (April-May and September-October) is my favorite time to visit. There’s still enough action to keep you busy, and you can still meet plenty of people, but it’s not nearly as crowded. Prices are lower and the weather is beautiful, especially during the fall when the average daily high temperature is 26°C (79°F). The rain doesn’t really start until November and tapers off in March, so you’ll still be able to enjoy plenty of sunshine too. It would be a good idea to pack an umbrella or rain jacket for this time of year.

Winters in Mykonos are mild, but many businesses close, and the island is virtually deserted. If that doesn’t bother you, then visiting Mykonos during this time can be very enjoyable for its slower pace of life. Expect daily highs around 14°C (57°F). Also expect plenty of rain. From November through February, there are at least seven days with rain every month. You’ll definitely want to pack sweaters and rain gear, if you plan on visiting during the winter months.

How to Stay Safe in Mykonos

Mykonos is very safe to visit, but like most busy destinations, there’s a risk of pickpocketing and petty crime around tourist attractions. Don’t bring your valuables to the beach and definitely don’t leave them unattended. When you go out to the bar, only take the money you need. Leave your wallet at home.

Solo female travelers should generally feel safe here. However, the standard safety precautions apply (never leave your drink unattended at the bar, never walk home alone intoxicated, etc.). For specific information, check out one of the many incredible solo female travel blogs on the web. They’ll give you tips and advice that I can’t.

And, because this is a party island, everyone should be mindful of drinking too much or taking their eyes off their drink. Avoid drugs at all costs, or you may face huge fines or even jail time.

If you rent a car, drive carefully. Greeks drive aggressively so you’ll want to make sure you take extra care on the roads.

If you go out hiking, always bring water and sunscreen and wear a hat. The heat can be taxing!

Scams here aren’t very common but you can read about common travel scams to avoid here.

If you experience an emergency, dial 112 for assistance.

Always trust your gut instinct. Avoid isolated areas at night, and be aware of your surroundings at all times. Make copies of your personal documents, including your passport and ID, and don’t keep a lot of valuables on you.

The best piece of advice I can give is to purchase good travel insurance. Travel insurance protects you against illness, injury, theft, and cancellations. It’s comprehensive protection in case anything goes wrong. I never go on a trip without it as I’ve had to use it many times in the past.

The majority of beach photos depict crowded, organized shores with huge beach bars and restaurants. Keep in mind that there is another side to this cosmopolitan Cycladic island, more serene and pure. • Agios Sostis bay : One of the best-unspoiled beaches is the bay of Agios Sostis, located a bit further away from the bustling southern beaches.

It is secluded and ideal for a private plunge. • Fokos bay : Another great secret spot is Fokos bay on the northern side of the island. It is an unorganized bay with no facilities besides a traditional tavern nearby. That hidden gem remains tranquil even during high season and is only reachable with private vehicles. • Agrari : Last but not least, the shimmering beach of Agrari is another quiet area you could opt for. Located near Elia bay, the two create a vast 8 km coastline of powder-like sand and indigo waters that captivate one's heart. Agrari beach is pristine, with only one small cafeteria and a handful of sun loungers. The path leading down to it is narrow and steep, so caution is essential.

22 Best Things to do in Mykonos In 2024

Written By: The Planet D

Updated On: June 11, 2024

Welcome to the shimmering shores of Mykonos, Greece’s own slice of paradise in the Aegean Sea! This guide is your ultimate companion to uncovering the best of what Mykonos has to offer. We’re not just talking about its world-famous beaches and parties; there’s so much more! From strolling through charming streets in Mykonos Town to discovering hidden culinary spots, we’ve got you covered.

We’ll also dive into the rich history and culture that make this island truly unique. Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned visitor, our insider tips will help you experience Mykonos like never before. So, let’s set sail on this exciting adventure and find out why Mykonos is one of the top Greek Islands on every traveler’s list!

Top Things to do in Mykonos, Greece

Mykonos is a romantic destination, a place for honeymoons and rendezvous. Likewise, it attracts party-goers and weekenders looking to blow off some steam. Don’t be surprised to find big crowds in Mykonos, especially in the high season. But it’s something that shouldn’t scare you off, because it’s a destination you can approach from many angles. You can still find the quieter beaches and the charming towns that, despite Mykonos’ small size, still remain off the tourist trail.

So with that in mind let’s discover the best things to do in Mykonos so you can plan your next trip to this amazing Greek Island.

1. Mykonos Town

After arriving on one of the best Greek islands, make a beeline for Mykonos Town. Exploring its narrow streets lined by whitewashed houses is one of the first things to do in Mykonos, Greece. Not only will it give you a great taste of what Mykonos Island life has to offer, but you’ll begin to get your bearings.

Nestled on the western coast of the island, Mykonos Town, also known as Chora, is the beating heart of Mykonos. As we wandered through its maze-like, cobblestone streets, we fell in love with the vibrant yet laid-back atmosphere that defines this iconic town. Mykonos town is like walking in a postcard, with its white-washed buildings and blue-domed churches (just like the ones you see in Santorini) creating a striking contrast against the unbelievably blue sky. We were truly blown away.

Navigating the maze of streets is a fun challenge and we enjoyed just getting lost, checking out some great shopping in the boutiques along Matogianni Street, which also happens to be one of the prettiest streets on the island, and sipping Greek coffee at a cafe. It felt like we were in our own movie scene. You may want to read: Is Greece Expensive, a complete guide to costs for travel in Greece.

2. Paradise Beach

With your steps complete, it’s time to indulge in the beach life of Mykonos Island. For a relatively small island, Mykonos has no shortage of beautiful beaches, and picking the best one is an unenviable task. With that said, Paradise Beach is the perfect place to start.

Paradise and Super Paradise Beach combine to create a stunning location that also happens to be home to the island’s most fun beach party scene. In the height of summer, the beach floods with scantily clad men and women bathing in the Aegean sun. Come nightfall, the party scene goes up a notch with music and tropical cocktails at beach clubs like Jackie O’ and The Super Paradise Beach Club.

Outside of the high season, you’ll find sparkling white sand devoid of large crowds. Add on some beachfront restaurants and it’s a pristine spot to enjoy a day out. Make sure to book your sunbed in advance so you have the best seat in the house.

3. Monastery of Panagia Tourliani

A brief drive from the heart of Mykonos Town, a visit to the Monastery of Panagia Tourliani is one of the top things to do in Mykonos, Greece. Like the beaches, there is stiff competition for the most gorgeous monasteries and churches on the tiny island. But Panagia Tourliani is not one to miss.

Almost five centuries old, the monastery is a sight for sore eyes. The clean stone facade complete with a trio of bells and an adjacent bell tower is an impressive sight. Not to mention the arresting marble fountain that features embellished decorations.

Equally transcendent is the interior that has been painstakingly restored to its former glory. We especially loved taking in the hand-painted altar screen and iconography from the late 18th century.

4. The Kato Mili Windmills

One of the most spectacular sights in Mykonos is the Kato Mili Windmills backed by the pink sky at golden hour. A brief trip from Little Venice, a row of white and brown windmills dots the coastline and are a glimpse into the island’s old wheat industry.

Back in the day, there were 20 of these famous windmills. While only seven remain, they’re now one of the most popular attractions on Mykonos. Each windmill is a perfect cylinder that rises out of the ground with brown thatched roofs. They’re simple yet beyond elegant, a memorable example of 18th-century Greek architecture.

They’re free to visit and make for some amazing photographs. But be sure to return at dusk for one of the best sunset spots on Mykonos.

5. Little Venice

In Mykonos Town, Little Venice is a neighborhood that will quickly steal your heart. It’s the waterfront section of town where the white houses meet the Aegean Sea, creating a vision straight out of your wildest dreams. Like the windmills, Little Venice is where Mykonos’ natural beauty and man-made opulence meet.

Much of what you see in Little Venice was developed in the 18th century by merchants. Now they’re vacation homes, restaurants, and a number of trendy bars that are perfect for sunset cocktails. Just be sure to make a reservation ahead of time. You can also wander down to the sea and let the water lap between your toes as you watch the sun touch the horizon with the windmills in the foreground.

6. Agrari Beach

Agrari Beach contrasts greatly with Paradise Beach. The popularity of Mykonos brings in hearty crowds and beach parties, something that can be hard to escape in the summer. But Agrari Beach is the place to go to experience the pristine beaches and crystal clear waters of Mykonos without rubbing shoulders with strangers.

You’ll find this beach on the quieter section of the island’s southern coast. The golden sand runs along the shore until it connects to Elia Beach, creating a spectacular 5-mile coastline of nothing but powdery white sand and turquoise sea.

After walking down a steep, narrow path, you’ll step onto the soft sand, where you’ll discover a small concession stand and a few sun loungers that you can use to bask in the warmth.

7. Delos Island

Taking a boat trip to Delos Island is one of the things we recommend, especially if you love Greek history. Departing from the Old Harbor in Mykonos Town, it will take you about 30 minutes to reach the small Cycladic island.

The history of Delos Island goes back over 5,000 years. It’s teeming with prominent archaeological sites, many of which form the crux of Greek myths and legends. Such is the array of history, that the entirety of Delos Island is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Local mythology says that Artemis and Apollo we born right here. But that’s not all. As you explore, you’ll find columns that have stood in place for centuries on the side of paths shared by pilgrims year after year. The island’s history, however, reaches its zeniths with Delos’ 5,000-year-old stone huts.

The best way to experience Delos is to jump on one of the guided boat tours. This is one of the most popular tours in all of Mykonos, so book early if you can.

8. Psarou Beach

A couple of miles outside of Mykonos Town, Psarou Beach is another popular spot for a day on the sand. Lined by upscale beach bars, a series of opulent resorts, and some of the best food on the island, Psarou is a place to experience the lap of luxury.

The beach is almost entirely made up of sun loungers and rows of beach umbrellas. You can forget about laying down the towel here. Instead, spend your day taking in the sights and sounds plus the odd celebrity if you’re lucky. Keeping the summer crowds in mind, you may want to book a sun lounge ahead of time.

On the water is where the real fun is, however. Once you’re settled, it’s time for water sports. Go on a scuba diving trip or jump on board a jet ski. Afterward, dine at the iconic beach bar restaurant Nammos.

9. Armenistis Lighthouse

Little Venice may be the best sunset spot on Mykonos, but it’s not always budget-friendly. This is especially true if you want to drink at the best bars along the coast. For a totally free sunset, make your way to the Armenistis Lighthouse.

The lighthouse is located on the island’s northwest coast where you’ll have uninhibited views of the colorful horizon along with the even smaller island, Tinos. It’s easy to get here also, being just a four-mile bus or taxi from Mykonos Town.

It’s best to give yourself plenty of time to explore the century-old lighthouse. Mykonos has a rich maritime history. The lighthouse is dedicated to telling that story and remembering the lives lost in a shipwreck in the years prior to its creation.

10. The Old Port

The development of a modern port on Mykonos has taken the focus of its historic Old Port. Many travelers don’t even take the time to explore. But if you’re like us, then that’s all the more reason to add the Old Port to your Mykonos itinerary.

Like the main town, Old Port is surrounded by a maze of narrow streets. Among them are smiling locals and an authentic collection of local shops. Without the cruise ships, the water is left for small fishing boats that come in and out as if they’ve traveled back to before Mykonos was a tourist mecca.

As you explore the Old Port, keep your eye out for the famous Peter the Pelican. This pelican has taken on legendary status among locals and seeing him wherever he is is a big tick on your Mykonos bingo card.

11. Scuba Diving

A few days on the shore of the Aegean Sea will have you excited to explore life beneath the surface. The glistening baby blue water is every bit as spectacular as the Mediterranean Sea, with as many marine treasures awaiting your arrival.

There are many great scuba diving spots around Mykonos, including from Psarou Beach. But for beginners, Lia Beach is the perfect place to begin. Within the protected bay you’ll find calm swimming conditions with excellent clarity as you learn the essential skills alongside your instructors.

Once you’ve completed your first dive, you’ll be ready to attack some more sites around Mykonos. Paradise Reef is one for the books. Here, you’ll find a prismatic array of coral, starfish, barracuda, and octopus. If you want to swim around a shipwreck, you can also do that at Dragonissi.

Mykonos is the perfect place to learn to Scuba Dive as the water is crystal clear and really calm. This tour is perfect for beginners!

12. Ano Mera Village

Like the Old Port, Ano Mera Village is another amazing part of Mykonos that sees a disproportionately meager amount of visitors. But while most are enjoying the Mykonos beaches, you can take the time to explore one of the oldest towns on the island, in peace.

The old-time village is centered on a town square and boasts Greece’s patented whitewashed homes. Ano Mera provides travelers with a unique and authentic experience within a charming Cycladic village. The streets are just as thin, yet without the bustle. This leaves you with a tranquil townscape that boasts several major landmarks, including Panagia Tourlani, the Paleokastro Monastery, and the Gyzi Castle.

Explore on a whim and don’t be afraid to get lost when you visit Ano Mera Village. That’s exactly how you’ll end up on a beautiful cafe patio, sipping wine and overlooking the Aegean Sea.

13. Church of Panagia Paraportiani

Admiring the stunning Church of Panagia Paraportiani is one of the best things to do in Mykonos, Greece. On the shore of the Aegean Sea, the church is a photographer’s dream. It’s an incredible mix of classic white Greek architecture, cobblestones, and the bright blue sea.

The church is, in fact, a much larger complex that features five distinct chapels. Each has its own peculiar design and domed roof. The oldest, Agios Anargyros, was built in the 15th century complete with a gorgeous bell tower.

Arriving at the complex is easy. You can simply jump on a bus and get off at Fabrika Central. It’s also possible to walk from Little Venice.

14. Elia Beach

On the southern coast, Elia Beach is the other half of a sandy shore shared with Agrari Beach. Elia Beach is a mix of amenities and tranquility. Here, you can enjoy the sun lounges and water sports without dense crowds, with ample extra sand to lay down the towel.

During the summer months, there are occasionally beach parties featuring DJs, booze, and plenty of dancing. But that aside, it’s a relaxed spot that is loved among the LGBTQ community and even the odd nudist.

When you depart the sand and go for a swim, you’ll discover crystal-clear waters and a brilliant mix of blue shades. Aside from swimming, you can venture out on a jet ski, get a view as you para-sail and you can also try your hand at windsurfing when the breeze picks up.

15. Wine Tasting

No time in Mykonos would be complete without exploring the island’s vineyards and sampling the local wines. After all, Mykonos is one of the oldest wine-growing regions on earth.

A wonderful place to do just that is at Mykonos Vioma Organic Farm . From your elevated position on Mykonos, you’ll bask in the wondrous views of the vineyards and the coast from the patio. You can also sign up for a vineyard tour that will take you behind the scenes of this beautiful farm.

But Vioma is not just about exceptional wine tasting. As the name suggests, there’s much more to this organic farm. Take your time exploring to discover traditional Mykonian delicacies such as rusks, hams, authentic Greek salad, and artisan cheese.

If you want to take a guided wine tour, this one that goes to a locals home is a great way to sample the wines of the region and have an authentic Mykonos experience.

16. Mykonos Maritime Museum

The Greeks have a storied relationship with the sea. In centuries past, they discovered new islands and expanded well beyond the mainland. Now, out of the 2,000 islands in the nation, around 170 are inhabited.

Today, the nation still depends on the sea to get from A to B. As you travel around Greece, water taxis and ferries are popular, not just to transfer locals and tourists, but cargo too.

To learn about Greece and Mykonos’ oceangoing history, both ancient and contemporary pay a visit to the Aegean Maritime Museum. Journey back as far as the Neolithic era as you discover historic documents, ancient maps, treasures, and replica ships from the Minoan period. Complete the experience by learning about moments that changed the course of local history and the tales of ships that have sunk to the bottom of the sea.

You’ve explored the charming villages, viewed the sunset from the coast, and swam beneath the sea. But for a fresh perspective, it’s time to grab your paddle and kayak around Mykonos.

As you float along the crystal clear sea, you’ll be able to achieve a spectacular vantage point from which to admire the island. Much of Mykonos is accessible, but there are many nooks and crannies along the coast that you’ll only be able to see and reach from the water. With the help of a guided kayak tour, you’ll be able to.

There are a few operators on the island, depending on where you are based. We took this guided kayak tour which took us to wild rock formations where we paddled into grottos, and explored the northern coastline all while keeping our eye out for marine life.

18. Rhenia Island

Rhenia Island is another of the nearby islands you should add to your itinerary. In the shadows of Mykonos, Rhenia Island is a well-kept secret. Although it has a rich human history that dates back thousands of years, today, no one lives here. It’s now an untouched paradise.

With zero ferry infrastructure, the only way to make it here is on a guided tour or private boat . But once you’ve arrived, you’ll have no shortage of amazing adventures. Here, the beaches are clean, without any footsteps and the sea is a dream to swim in.

The island’s human history is on full display. Centuries ago, the island was deserted and its ancient temples were left to survive by themselves. Add on some quaint 20th-century churches and you can see why Rhenia Island is one of the best day trips from Mykonos.

19. Boat Tours

Many of the best beaches on Mykonos can be found on the breathtaking southern coast. You could spend a day at each, but for a memorable experience, go island hopping and join this full-day south coast cruise .

Beginning at Ornos Beach, for eight hours, you can kick back and slowly make your way along the spectacular coast while sipping one Greek wine and sampling ouzo. After visiting a couple of beaches, you’ll venture further offshore to discover Dragonissi Island. Upon arrival, you’ll spot the sea caves that glisten against the water.

Afterward, dive into the calm waters of Frangias Bay and have lunch at a seaside restaurant on Kalafatis Beach. Last up is the vibrant Super Paradise Beach before getting dropped off right back at your hotel.

20. Mykonos Archaeological Museum

The Cyclades are akin to an open-air museum, such are the number of historic sites. But without having to travel to Delos or Rhenia, you can visit the Mykonos Archaeological Museum.

History lovers and architectural buffs will have a blast as they explore the incredible collection. You will be able to get up close to ancient vases, vessels, works of art, and columns.

The museum may be small but it’s been masterfully curated. Further highlights include a stunning mortuary urn that explores the story of the Trojan War. For those who missed out on exploring Rhenia, check out the museum’s Purification Pit. This was discovered in 1898 and included hundreds of urns and vessels that harbored offerings to the gods.

21. Island Hop

There’s far more to the world around Mykonos than just Delos and Rhenia islands. The Cyclades are home to over 200 islands and you can access all the major ones such as Santorini , Tinos, and Naxos from the local port.

Frequent ferry crossings will give you plenty of options when it comes to exploring the surrounding islands on your own. Likewise, there is an abundance of local tours that will showcase the beauty of the Cyclades on a yacht.

Santorini is another famous destination in the Cyclades and is a few hours away from Mykonos. You can easily take a make a day trip of it with five ferries crossing each day. Another option is Tinos, which is just 30 minutes by boat and boasts some beautiful traditional villages.

Interested in Santorini? Check out our guide on the amazing island.

22. Bike Tour

Exploring beautiful Mykonos on two wheels promises to be as memorable an adventure as any on the island. Even as you grow more and more familiar with the mountainous, sun-soaked Mykonos, there’s always more to see. On a bike, you can do just that without wasting any time.

Joining a local expert on a bike tour will help you get off the beaten path and away from the island’s most iconic destinations. Take the back streets through charming villages and capture coastal and town views that you wouldn’t have otherwise seen. As you explore the countryside, you’ll get to know Mykonos on a deeper level.

The hilly nature of the island has forced some bike operators to provide a variety of tours for different fitness levels. So there’s no entry barrier for travelers.

FAQ’s

What is Mykonos best for?

Mykonos is best known for its incredible nightlife, beach parties, and beautiful beaches. But it also offers a charming old town and great Cycladic architecture.

Why is Mykonos so famous?

Mykonos is famous primarily for its amazing nightlife, attracting visitors worldwide with its numerous bars and clubs. It’s also known for its picturesque landscapes, featuring iconic windmills, whitewashed buildings, and beautiful beaches.

Which is better Santorini or Mykonos?

The choice between Santorini and Mykonos really depends on what you are looking for out of your vacation. Santorini is ideal for those seeking dramatic volcanic landscapes and romantic settings, while Mykonos is the place to be in the Greek Islands for the party scene.

Is 3 nights in Mykonos enough?

Spending three nights in Mykonos will allow you just to scratch the surface of its main attractions, including the beaches and Mykonos Town. In our opinion 5 days in Mykonos is the perfect amount of time to enjoy the full scope of what Mykonos has to offer.

How to get to Mykonos

There are two ways to get to Mykonos. The most scenic is by boat. Multiple companies, such as Hellenic Seaways, Blue Star, and Sea Jet, operate regularly between Mykonos and various Greek destinations.

It can take between three and five hours to go between Athens and Mykonos. Blue Star and Hellenic take around five hours but tend to provide a more sturdy ride.

Sea Jet on their smaller catamarans can get you there the quickest. However, if you get seasick, be aware this ride can get bumpy. We recommend booking in advance for all three, especially Sea Jet.

You can fly to Mykonos during the summer months. This isn’t the budget-friendly option but will help you get to the island a lot faster. The daily flights from Athens last only 25 minutes.

Best time to visit Mykonos

Mykonos has a long span of glorious weather. This lengthens the period travelers should be looking to visit the island. The weather is warm by May and lasts until October.

Mykonos’ high season begins in June and ends in September. During this period, the weather is at its peak, the water is balmy, and the atmosphere is electric. Of course, this period comes with crowds and higher hotel rates. But it’s the quintessential Mykonos experience.

You can save on room rates while enjoying nice weather in May and October, but some restaurants and tours may not be operating. Outside of this sixth-month span, Mykonos is quiet and without the warmer weather, it will unlikely be the trip you’re expecting.

Where to stay

With the best attractions covered and some key questions answered, let’s check out some places to stay in Mykonos that suit all budgets.

Budget – Elena Hotel Mykonos

In the heart of Mykonos Town and just 6 minutes from the beach, Elena Hotel Mykonos offers convenience and comfort. Each room has a TV and Wi-Fi, while guests will enjoy the daily buffet breakfast and airport transfers.

Mid-range – Harmony Boutique Hotel

Next to the Old Port in Mykonos Town, Harmony Boutique Hotel balances luxury and price. Just two minutes from the beach, guests will enjoy stylish accommodation with sea and sunset views. There are also spa and fitness centers and an onsite restaurant.

Luxury – Cavo Tagoo

Also in Mykonos Town, Cavo Tagoo has a stunning infinity pool with views out to the sea. Each room features the height of luxury, with distinct decor and some come with either a spa bath or private pool. To pamper yourself, sign up for their range of spa treatments before dining at their onsite restaurant.

Mykonos Tourism Guide

Mykonos, greece travel tips and beaches guide.

Mykonos is one of the world’s most popular beach destinations , and once you go, you want to return time and again. There are several beaches around the cosmopolitan island , all of them beautiful, with crystal-clear turquoise waters , some with bars and restaurants, others nearly deserted. It also helps that the hotels are beautifully designed , and usually offering postcard-worthy views. But because there are so many beaches and so many wonderful places to stay, we have done all the work for you and point you in the right directions. This is your guide to the best of the Mykonos experience.

Why Go to Mykonos?

Beaches, beaches, beaches. That’s why everyone goes to Mykonos. But there are many great beaches all over the world, including in neighboring destinations in the Mediterranean, so what makes Mykonos special? It’s its stunning natural beauty , its sunsets , and the fact that it has adapted so remarkably well to tourism, changing very little over the years. You won’t find high-rises on the coast like in many parts of the Mediterranean. Here you’ll still see the traditional local architecture , made up of small whitewashed buildings. And then there’s the nightlife and the partying by the sea, but if that’s not your thing, you also have plenty of quiet, relaxing places for yourself by the calming blue of the Aegean. Mykonos is the best island to visit from Athens and one of the most unforgettable in the world!

What and where is Mykonos?

Mykonos is a Greek island, part of a group on the Aegean Sea known as the Cyclades, in southeastern Europe. It’s 150km (93 miles) to the southeast of Athens, 150km (93 miles) north of Santorini and 230km (143 miles) north of Crete. It has around 10,000 permanent residents and is about 1.5 times the size of Manhattan. It takes just 40 minutes to drive from the western end (where the main town is) to the eastern end.

What is Mykonos known for?

Mykonos is known as a trendy beach paradise and a party island , much like Ibiza, but it’s much more than. In fact, most of the partying happens at less than a handful of beaches, and most people spend more time quietly sunbathing and swimming than drinking and dancing. It’s also known as a well-preserved Greek island, with centuries-old windmills and a pretty maze of narrow streets lined with whitewashed houses. It offers beautiful sunset views and stylish hotels , which attracts couples on a romantic getaway or honeymoon. It’s also one of the world’s top destinations for gay travelers and the main gateway to the uninhabited island of Delos, which is one of Greece’s most important historical sites , with ruins from ancient Greece.

Why is Mykonos so popular?

Mykonos grew as a travel destination in the 1960s, first attracting hippies and then wealthy Europeans. In the 1980s, it became one of the world’s first gay-friendly destinations. Today it welcomes all kinds of people. It’s popular because of its beautiful beaches, lively and romantic atmosphere, live-and-let-live attitude, and because it’s one of the Greek islands that are easiest to reach. There are direct flights from many of the major European cities and regular ferries from Athens.

How to Go to Mykonos

Mykonos is easy to reach by ferry from the two ports in the Athens region -- Piraeus and Rafina. Piraeus is the one closest to the center of the city, and Rafina the closest to the airport. On a regular ferry, it takes about 5 hours to go from Piraeus to Mykonos. On a speedboat, that journey takes just 3 hours. From Rafina, the ferry takes 2.5 hours and the speedboat 2 hours. However, the services from Rafina are only an option if you’re heading straight to Mykonos from Athens’ airport. If you’re visiting Athens before heading to the islands, the port of Rafina is about 1 hour and 15 minutes away, so you won’t be really saving time choosing it over Piraeus. The shortest travel time from Athens to Mykonos is 3 hours by speedboat, from Piraeus. Mykonos is also connected by ferry to other islands, such as Santorini, Naxos, Paros, Ios, Milos, Folegandros and Crete. The travel time between the islands depends on the distance and the type of boat, so it can range from 30 minutes to 5 hours. Flights from Athens to Mykonos take about 30 minutes. Direct flights from Western Europe (London, Amsterdam, Paris, Rome and other major cities), take 2 to 4 hours. See the Mykonos transportation guide .

Naturally, Mykonos is a summer destination, with July and August being the most popular months. May, June and September are perhaps the best times to go. The weather is usually hot, dry and with perfectly blue skies, but it can be windy (the famous “meltemia” winds of the Aegean Sea are particularly strong in July and August). The beaches in the south of the island are usually more protected from the winds.

How many days should I spend in Mykonos?

Five days is the ideal amount of time in Mykonos. That allows you to tour the island, take a trip to Delos, explore several of the beaches and enjoy the nightlife and the strip of bars in Little Venice. You’re likely here to relax, so there’s no need to rush. Two days would be a minimum, but that wouldn’t give you the full Mykonos experience. Also keep in mind that if you’re coming on a ferry from Athens and then returning, you’ll spend much of those two days traveling. Accommodation can be expensive, so if you can’t afford five days, stay at least 3 nights.

Mykonos is a seasonal and very in-demand destination, so prices are high, especially accommodation. It’s the most expensive Greek island, together with Santorini. The cheapest accommodation can be as much as €135 (165 US dollars or 120 British pounds) in the high season. Restaurants are also among the most expensive in Greece, but you can always have the gyros, souvlaki and Greek salads sold at small eateries around the island for as little as 3 or 5 euros each. One way to save on meals is to stay in an apartment and cook for yourself! To save on accommodation, book early (as much as 6 months in advance, as prices go up as demand increases)! If you include the cost of accommodation, you can spend anywhere between 150 and 500 euros per day. That all depends on the hotel category, where you eat and if you ride the bus or rent a car, scooter or ATV. Thankfully, practically all of Mykonos’ attractions (beaches, windmills, churches and sunsets) are free and you can walk to different beaches from a large number of hotels! -- see the best beach hotels .

What are the main towns in Mykonos?

Chora (sometimes spelled Hora) is Mykonos' main town and better known as Mykonos Town . It’s located on the western coast, by the two ports, and is where you find the vast majority of hotels, restaurants, bars and shops. Outside of the beach clubs, it’s where you have the best nightlife, especially around the waterfront by Little Venice . The only other village is Ano Mera, located roughly in the center of the island. Ano Mera has a 16th-century monastery, charming streets and authentic tavernas, but no hotels, so you won’t find many tourists. The other major area for visitors is the southern coast, which has the main beaches. Buses from Mykonos Town take you there.

Where should I stay in Mykonos?

If you want beachfront hotels, choose the beaches of Platys Gialos, Psarou, Ornos, Super Paradise or Elia. If you prefer to be within walking distance of restaurants and nightlife, stay in Mykonos Town. Those who like quieter areas, away from the crowds, will enjoy Agios Ioannis and Panormos. But if you’re here to party, stay in Paradise Beach or Paraga. You find the complete information about these places and hotel recommendations here: Where to Stay in Mykonos

Do I need a car in Mykonos?

Renting a car in Mykonos is quite common. In fact, many people choose to do so, instead of relying on the sometimes infrequent buses. It allows you to see more of the island and reach more beaches, especially the more remote ones in the north. The main beaches, however, have regular bus services, so you don’t really need a car . Parking in the center of Mykonos Town can be a challenge, and you may end up having to park in the outskirts or on the parking lot by the Old Port. Only the bigger hotels have parking lots. Also remember that cars are not permitted in the narrow streets of Mykonos Town (they’re easily accessible on foot). There are only about 30 taxis in the whole island and they can be expensive. Uber is not available in Mykonos.

What are the best things to do in Mykonos?

The top activity in Mykonos is beach-hopping. You can tour most on the southern coast in one day and there are also boat tours. End the day admiring the magical sunset view between the windmills and Little Venice. Follow that with a walk around the pedestrian streets of Mykonos Town, browsing the shops and discovering the perfect restaurant and bar. The top cultural experience is Delos island, which is a short boat ride away. Many of the artifacts found there are now on display in Mykonos’ archaeological museum. See the top 10 things to see and do in Mykonos .

Is Mykonos safe for tourists?

When it comes to personal safety, travelers to Mykonos have nothing to worry about. It’s practically crime-free and there are no real dangers. If your concern is health, you should just remember to always pack plenty of sunscreen and water.

What airlines fly into Mykonos?

The following airlines have year-round or seasonal flights to Mykonos: easyJet (from the UK, Germany, and Italy), British Airways (from London), Aegean (from London, cities in Greece, Cyprus, Belgium, Italy, France, Germany, Spain, and Switzerland), Ryanair (from Austria, Cyprus, France, Germany, Hungary, and Italy), Condor (from Düsseldorf), Vueling (from Barcelona), Lufthansa (from Frankfurt), Neos (from Italian cities), Volotea (from major and smaller cities in Greece, Italy, Croatia, and France), Wizz Air (from Austria, Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, and Romania), Transavia (from Amsterdam and Paris), Austrian (from Vienna), Eurowings (from Cologne), TUI Fly (from Brussels), Blue Bird Airways (from Tel Aviv), and Qatar Airways (from Doha).

What currency is used in Mykonos?

Greece is part of the Euro zone of the European Union, so the currency in Mykonos is the euro. Credit cards are accepted at practically all hotels and at major restaurants and shops. However, it’s a good idea to always carry some cash, as you’ll need it if you take the bus or make small purchases such as water and snacks. There are ATMs in Mykonos Town and at the major beaches.

Official Mykonos Tourism Board

Mykonos doesn’t have its own tourism board or an official tourist office on the island, but there are many travel agencies in the main town if you need any travel information. However, you’ll likely have all your questions answered on this website. It provides useful tips from travel experts and locals, not associated with or sponsored by any local business, institution or organization -- it’s entirely independent and unbiased.

17. Armenistis Lighthouse

This lighthouse stands like a sentinel over the Armenistis area, bearing symbolic testimony to the rich maritime past of Mykonos. The lighthouse overlooks the stretch of water between Mykonos and the neighboring island of Tinos. People continue to visit the site and try to absorb the historical aura of the area.

At present, the octagonal tower is managed by the Hellenic Navy’s Hydrographic Office. The lighthouse itself is not open to the public. But you can visit the site’s exterior. You have the chance to view a heart-stopping sunset with a cliff view, while the historical aura and the eerie, dormant landscape add to the overall magnetism of the site.

16. Agios Sostis Beach

Named after a nearby Church, Agios Sostis beach is one of the more remote beaches in Mykonos. A large, sandy beach, it sits at the northern mouth of a bay and is a favorite amongst surfers due to the strong north-westerly winds. At the beach, you will not find umbrellas, deck chairs or beach bars. As there is no bus connection between Agios Sostis Beach and Mykonos Town, access is limited to private vehicles and taxis.

Kiki’s Tavern offers a great lunch spot. It is an open-air eatery offering local fish dishes and beans. If you are looking for a downbeat beach spot Agios Sostis is highly recommended. Simply bring your towel and find your unspoiled spot on the beach.

15. Archaeological Museum of Mykonos

Built in 1902, the museum’s elegant architecture was designed by the renowned architect Alexandros Lykakis. Among the finds from this historic island is the ‘Pithos’. It is a large jar made in a workshop in the 7th century BC, richly decorated with embossed pictures of scenes from the Trojan War. The display also includes grave statues, funerary urns from Rheneia, and pottery dating from the 25th to 1st century BC.

The museum is located in Mykonos Town, on a dominant position above the old harbour. All relics are spread over six grand, illuminated exhibition rooms and a leafy courtyard. Visitors are welcomed by statues of Hercules and Aphrodite.

14. Rarity Gallery

The Rarity Gallery holds various exhibitions throughout the year, hosting many cosmopolitan artists. Located in in a lovely historic manor house in the heart of Mykonos Town, it is a wonderful way to spend a morning. It was the first gallery in Greece to exhibit the works of internationally recognized contemporary artists.

A range of media is represented: You can find paintings, sculptures, and photographs. Established in 1995, the two curators who founded the gallery said their goal is to offer an original and carefully curated aesthetic experience aimed at strengthening the public’s appreciation for contemporary art, whilst also honoring the artists and their exposure.

13. Cine Manto Mykonos

‘Dinner and movies under the stars’, boasts the official website of Manto Cinema. Greece is famed for their tradition of open-air theater, and this particular Mykonos cinema upholds this custom. From gardens to the cinema, they offer an alternative experience in Mykonos, where you can unwind and find peace while taking part in interesting activities such as partaking in garden yoga, or a mosaic workshop – there is an activity for everyone.

A tiny lush oasis in the heart of bustling Mykonos lies this perfect getaway, the chance to experience romantic films in a retro atmosphere on an island that never sleeps. Grab a bite at the Cine Manto restaurant before a screening, or ask to be served a meal whilst you watch.

12. Folklore Museum

This museum is located in the Kastro neighborhood in Chora, in an 18th-century whitewashed house with red brick windows. It is a storehouse of antiquities belonging to the 19th century. Formally opened to the public in 1958, items on display include vintage furniture, tools, historical photographs, and ceramic tools.

It has a fine collection of paintings and highly preserved cannons from the War of Independence of 1821. If you want a glimpse of a quintessential 19th-century middle-class seating room or bedroom, you can find it here at the Folklore Museum . There are six exhibition halls. You can also see traditional musical instruments, historical plates and prints, locks and keys, and all vintage items.

11. Panormos Beach

Those looking for a more relaxing beach experience can head to the northern side of Mykonos, where a cozy bay forms Panormos Beach, and a cove protects the area from high winds. Less developed and harder to reach than the other beaches, Panormos Beach has fewer accommodations and fewer visitors. Visitors need private transport to get there as no bus or boat goes to Panormos.

The quiet beauty of this beach does attract a regular crowd that enjoys the beach volleyball area and the shaded taverna. Stroll along the white sand or enjoy a walk in the surrounding countryside.

10. Super Paradise Beach

The aptly named Super Paradise Beach seems to have one goal: to out-party Paradise Beach. Travelers who came to Mykonos for peace and quiet should stay away from Super Paradise Beach, where the loud music and open-air party atmosphere is present day and night. Those who did come for the dreamiest summer parties will find the fun that they are looking for at the numerous beach bars.

Dine in a luscious Mykonian spot, the Paraj Restaurant, for fresh fish dishes and seawater views. You can also partake in water sports such as riding on jet skis and wakeboards if partying isn’t your thing.

The sands are completely covered in sunbeds and thatch parasols. To get there, there is now a shuttle operated by the beach club, departing from the bus terminal at Fabrika. This beach represents all that Mykonos has to offer: beauty, enjoyment, and relaxation. The Jackie O’ beach club is a place to let loose with a tremendous beach atmosphere. You can enjoy funky DJ sets in the afternoon that continue throughout the evening.

9. Platys Gialos Beach

On the south side of Mykonos lies Platys Gialos Beach, a family-friendly beach where numerous hotels are located. Hotel guests staying on Platys Gialos can walk directly from their rooms to the beach to relax on a sunbed or enjoy watersports. Platys Gialos is also a mini travel hub where taxi-boats depart regularly for the island’s other famous beaches.

Located just a short distance from the main town of Chora, Platys Gialos Beach lies in a picturesque half-moon bay. Along the beach there is an abundance of Greek and Italian restaurants as well as cheap and delicious Mediterranean take-away.

8. Ano Mera

While it’s easy to spend an entire Mykonos vacation on the beach, an inland excursion to Ano Mera can’t be missed. Here in this village, you can experience a more authentic side of island life away from boutique resorts.

The village of Ano Mera was built around a 16th Century monastery called the Panagia Tourliani. The restored monastery, with its statuesque bell town and marble fountain, can be toured daily. Inside the monastery there is a collection of Byzantine relics for viewing, and the marble-tiled area around the monastery is home to several souvenir shops and restaurants.

Nearby to Ano Mera there is an even older monastery, the Monastery of Paleokastro, as well as the ruins of a Byzantine castle.

7. Panagia Paraportiani

Historic religious sites on Mykonos can also be found along the coastline, and Panagia Paraportiani is one of them. Located at the entrance to the Kastro neighborhood of Chora, the whitewashed walls of this seaside church form a unique shape due to the building’s unusual construction.

Five small churches that were built on top of each other beginning in the 14th Century became the Panagia Paraportiani that can be seen today. The asymmetrical shape and rare combination of architectural styles combined with the ocean view have helped to make Panagia Paraportiani one of the most photographed sites in the world.

6. Paradise Beach

No trip to Mykonos is complete without a visit to Paradise Beach, one of the most popular party spots in all of Greece and home to the island’s largest nightclub. It used to attract all the hippies in the 70s, and a decade ago it was synonymous with the gay community. Currently, it attracts young crowds, who dance, drink, and lie on the sand all day and night, to the sound of music.

During the day, several open-air lounges on Paradise Beach serve cocktails to beachgoers while they relax beneath grass-roofed cabanas and umbrellas. The summer parties start in the middle of the afternoon and last until daybreak. Overlooking the beach is a large club called Cavo Paradiso which has major international DJs playing throughout the summer.

5. Elia Beach

Elia Beach is the largest sandy beach in Mykonos. Somewhat isolated and more laid back than the party beaches, it is almost completely covered in parasols and sunbeds, but there is a small sun-bed-free section. This is where you will see the proud rainbow flags and gay crowds to the far end on the right side. Elia is 25 minutes by car from Mykonos Town. It can be reached by bus, departing from the Old Port or by boat from Platis Gialos.

There are plenty of boutique hotels centered around the beach. With a never-ending beach of white sand and a light cool breeze in the air, customers can expect efficient drinks and food table services from the nearby Arte and Mare Resort restaurant. It is mostly quiet in the morning, with people arriving around lunchtime and leaving in the evening.

4. Kato Milli

Kato Mili, or the “lower windmills” in Greek, is a row of historic windmills that stand facing the sea in the town of Chora. A defining feature of the Mykonos landscape, the wood-and-straw capped windmills were first constructed in the 16th Century by the Venetians.

Today, the preserved windmills are iconic relics that have been converted to museums and are among the most popular attractions in Mykonos. There are currently 16 windmills on Mykonos of which 7 are situated on the famous landmark hill in Chora. Visit the windmills to see how the Venetians harnessed the power of the wind, and enjoy a panoramic view of the town and ocean.

Mykonos makes a great home base for a short trip to the island of Delos, the birth place of Apollo and Artemis in Greek legend. Delos is uninhabited, and daily ferries can take you there from Mykonos for the chance to explore the ruins.

The island’s top sights include the Sacred Harbor, now a dry lake; the Terrace of the Lions, Cleopatra’s House, and the House of Dionysius, a luxury private home built in the second century. Delos also boasts a museum filled with Greek sculptures and vases as well as a small cafe.

2. Little Venice Quarter

As the name suggests, Little Venice Quarter is a section of Mykonos where the barrier between the buildings and the sea is nonexistent. Waves lap the sides of the charming houses, cafes and restaurants that sit elegantly perched on the water’s edge.

Built during the 16th and 17th Centuries by wealthy sea merchants, Little Venice Quarter is situated on the western edge of Chora near Alevkantra beach. The romantic atmosphere and ethereal beauty of Little Venice Quarter make it a favorite hangout for artists who have recreated the scene in countless paintings.

1. Get lost in Mykonos Town

The maze-like streets of Chora were designed to discourage invasion. It was easy for invaders to get lost in the narrow, winding streets, and that is the same for tourists. Embrace it! There are beautiful white buildings with stucco to admire and chic boutiques and fine jewellery shops to explore.

It is a traditional Cycladic village, built around a bay. Cars are not allowed in the heart of town, which makes the walk among the labyrinth highly pleasurable. Bougainvillaea, colourful windows, doors, and balconies, and the mesh of white and cobalt are truly breath-taking. Follow your instincts around the maze. It is quiet in the morning and during the day, yet is invaded by people in the afternoon.

Further decline in Mykonos tourism

International air traffic to Mykonos is on a downward trajectory for another year, according to plans for available seats that airlines have for this summer so far.

On the other hand, passenger traffic from abroad to Santorini is stabilizing after a year of decline.

This contrasts with the wider performance of Greece, which shows increased scheduled air seats from abroad by 8.1%.

Tourism on Mykonos has been in a period of decline for the past three years, a trend attributed on the one hand to the very large numbers of visitors without the necessary carrying capacity and infrastructure, and on the other to the particularly high prices and the low value-for-money, according to sources in the Greek tourism industry.

Last year, international passenger traffic to Mykonos airport fell by 5.9% to 1.12 million travelers from 1.19 million in 2022. In Santorini, meanwhile, international passenger traffic at the airport decreased by 9.9% to 1.5 million travelers from 1.7 million in 2022.

For this summer, airlines have scheduled 5.8% fewer seats on their flights to Mykonos, according to the Airdata tracker data of the Institute of the Greek Tourism Confederation (INSETE).

The biggest reductions are found in flights from the UK. The corresponding flight schedule for the same period to Santorini appears unchanged compared to last year, as it shows a marginal change of -0.2%.

Moment freak wave smashes tourist beach in Mykonos leaving swimmer with broken ribs and sending sunbathers fleeing

• Sayan Bose , Foreign News Reporter
• Published : 11:06 ET, Jul 22 2024
• Updated : 11:09 ET, Jul 22 2024

THIS is the moment a massive freak wave caused by a passing ship smashed the shore of a tourist beach - leaving two people injured.

Sunbeds, slides and parasols were all seen being washed away by the raging sea as horrified beachgoers scrambled to take cover in Agios Mykonos, Greece .

Shocking footage captured by a beachgoer shows the massive wave sweeping two tourists off their feet.

Two people and a boy who appeared to be much younger scrambled to get out of the sea as they watched the freak wave approach.

The wall of water then smacked a woman who was on dry land before knocking her down to the floor.

Onlookers were then seen rushing towards to woman in a bid to help her get out of the water.

Takis Papadakos, who filmed the dramatic incident on the Greek beach, said that the injured woman "was hospitalized with two broken ribs".

The ship that caused the massive freak waves belongs to Fast Ferries Andros - a ferry service used for local transportation.

The captain of the ship was arrested for "violating regulations related to reckless operation near other boats and causing negligent injury", Protothema  reports.

It is understood the Mykonos Port Authority has now launched an investigation into the matter.

It comes after a huge "meteo" tsunami left tourists scrambling as it rocked up in the holiday hotspot of Menorca.

The freak weather surged onto the port of Ciutadella in  Menorca , submerging rows of sun loungers under the water.

At least five large meteo-tsunamis with oscillations over three feet were witnessed, say  Spain’s  national weather agency Aemet.

Footage shows tourists running across the beach trying to find higher land as the waves start to crash into the shore.

The water quickly pushes up the sand dragging in giant inflatable slides and pieces of wood into the sea.

It came less than 24 hours after another  meteo-tsunami crashed into the shores of Majorca .

The sea level rose sharply and flooded parts of Puerto Alcudia, on the northeast coast of the popular holiday island.

In 2018, a meteo-tsunami devastated several holiday resorts, with waves crashing into bars and terraces by the coast in the island's Port Andratx.

A German dad-of-two died after being swept to sea in Majorca - just hours after the tsunami laid waste to the holiday island's beaches.

Yacht owners were filmed desperately trying to stop their boats being washed away.

The strong current broke the ropes of a historic sailing boat used by the Majorca Island Council - which had to be rescued by sailors and brought back to port as it drifted out to sea.

One shocking clip showed desperate boat owners battling to keep their yachts from being washed away as the wave pounded a jetty in Port Andratx, Majorca.

What is a meteo-tsunami?

METEO-TSUNAMIS are a freak weather phenomenon that causes large, tsunami-like waves.

They are triggered by disturbances in air pressure caused by fast-moving weather events, like thunderstorms, and are generated when rapid changes in barometric pressure cause the displacement of a body of water.

Most tsunamis are geological, meaning they are triggered by vertical movement on the seabed, which can be caused by an earthquake or landslide.

The difference with a meteo-tsunami is that they are created by the weather.

A small, rapid change in atmospheric pressure – even by a few millibars – can change the sea surface elevation by a few centimetres.

This elevation can go unnoticed in deep water, but in shallower water near shorelines, it can cause the sea level to rise significantly, often by several feet.

They can reach heights of six feet and more, and have been observed in many places around the world, including Gulf of Mexico, Atlantic Coast and the Mediterranean.

Kyle richards removes 'wife' from instagram profile amid marriage woes, 'rhobh' star kyle richards scrubs 'wife' from ig profile ... is mauricio next.

Kyle Richards is sending her own not-so-subtle message to Mauricio Umansky about the status of their marriage – it's kaput!!!

"The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star removed "wife" from her Instagram bio on Thursday after Mauricio was photographed kissing a young woman at an airport in Greece days before.

Kyle's IG bio now reads "Mom, actor, author, producer, animal lover, a RHOBH, CAA." The word "wife" was previously sandwiched between "Mom" and "actor" – but not anymore.

Still, Kyle lists herself as a "wife" on her X account, yet she has totally scrubbed Mauricio's last name from her social media profiles, which is never a good sign. And Kyle's flirty relationship with country singer Morgan Wade ain't helping matters.

Mauricio Umansky Kisses Mystery Woman at Airport Year After Kyle Richards Split

Of course, Mauricio was behind all the new drama with Kyle after he was filmed Tuesday smooching a mystery woman at the airport in Mykonos. As the pics show, Mauricio had just gotten off a plane and dove right into the arms of this hot blonde, signaling to Kyle they are dunzo.

The real estate agent split from Kyle a year ago after 27 years of marriage. They share three daughters – Sophia , Alexia and Portia .

They have been leading separate lives now for well over a year, so it seems the handwriting's on the wall.

Mykonos is a Greek island, part of a group on the Aegean Sea known as the Cyclades, in southeastern Europe.

“I like that LastPass is easy to use and intuitive. It integrates well with all websites and allows me to keep secure encryption for all my personal and work-related accounts. It allows me to organize folders, share with others, and only memorizing one master password for all of those while keeping encryption secure is a relief.”

Kenny Kolijn

“I use LastPass both corporately and personally. It allows me to securely store and share passwords with my family and co-workers in separate environments and happily generates random secure passwords for me, which prevents me from re-using the same one.”

Erik Eckert

“If you deal with other people's information, as my company does, LastPass is a must. We use it to organize sensitive client credentials, which has never failed us. Its level of security offers us flexibility if we have a vendor or team member that needs access but don't want to share the actual password.”
