TOP PLACES TO VISIT

Chora

After a few days of beach living, it’s time to head to the main town. The heart of Mykonos is Chora — the vibrant capital that is home to many whitewashed churches (including the renowned Panagia Paraportiani, the most photographed in the Aegean), the Mykonos Windmills (great for sunset views), and endless, charming maze-like cobbled streets. Chora is full of souvenir stores, luxury chic boutique shops, seaside bars, tiny cafes, cool brunch spots (check out The Liberty Breakfast Room), fine dining restaurants, lively clubs, and waterfront tavernas serving delicious seafood and local dishes. It also has its own romantic Little Venice neighborhood, with its colorful houses perched above the sea. After getting your shopping fix, pay a visit to the Mykonos Archaeological Museum. Built in 1902, the museum houses a beautiful and rich collection of Greek pottery, sculptures, and antiques. There’s also the Folklore Museum which contains old furniture, ceramics, Byzantine icons, and hand-woven textiles. Several island and day trips depart from the main port near Chora. Two you don’t want to miss are the Cycladic island of Delos, the mythological birthplace of Apollo, and the historic and up-and-coming Naxos. 

​

Naxos is well known for its traditional villages, beaches, and Greek history and mythology. Lesser known is that it’s also a hub of gastronomic experiences. Be sure to check out Yazoo, with its buzzing atmosphere and amazing menu of cocktails and Cretan-Naxian dishes. Chora is just as famous for its history as it is for its legendary food and parties. By night, its narrow streets are filled with crowds, many of which are heading to Pasta Fresca Barkia for the best pasta and seafood spaghetti in Mykonos, BAOs for incredible cocktails and sea views, and Lola for an intimate and romantic seaside experience with a flamboyant crowd. Wherever you go, most end up in Skandinavian Bar and Disco, a Mykonos Institution with three floors that pours out on the streets.

​

• Little Venice: is replete with elegant and gorgeous old houses that are situated right above the sea. Famous for its sunset view, it is fully geared up to cater to the whims and fancies of the discerning international travellers. There are plenty of entertainment options ranging from loud-music clubs to sunset cocktail-bars.
• The Windmills: the quintessential feature of Mykonos landscape. They are primarily concentrated in the neighborhood of Chora and some are located around Alefkantra. These innovative mills were primarily used for crushing agricultural yields. There were 16 windmills operating until the first decades of the 20th century. 
• Private Tour at Delos: Do not miss a private tour to the archaeological island of Delos which is the center of the Cyclades and is among the most important sites of Greece. According to Greek mythology, Delos was the birthplace of Apollo, the god of music, pure light and his twin sister Artemis, the goddess of hunting. Nowadays, many visitors arrive to Delos, to feel the unique and pure energy of the place. 
• The Archaeological Museum: built in 1902. The Museum was set up primarily to preserve the vestiges recovered from the Purification Pit which dates to 426-425 B.C. This pit was unearthed in the year 1898 by renowned scholar D. Stavropoulos from the picturesque islet of Rhenia. 
• Openair Cinema – Cine Manto: unique and vast garden located in the center of town of Mykonos, open to the public, drowned by palm trees, towering pines and unique species of cactus. Sheltered from the wind and always cool, it is an unexpected picture of Mykonos. Within this majestic garden you may find the open-air-cinema Cine Manto and the coolest cafe-restaurant of the island Cine Manto Restaurant. 

​

Psarou Beach

In your first few days in Mykonos, you want to head to one of the five beaches along the south coast of the island. For absolute luxury, there is only one choice: Psarou Beach — the most famous and trendiest on the island. Located in the south around four kilometers from Mykonos Town, the 150m long beach is the top pick beach among celebs and VIPs for good reason: it’s emerald green water, dramatic scenery, and upscale Mykonos beach clubs. Psarou sits within a well-sheltered bay, making it the ideal anchoring point for the island’s most expensive and beautiful yachts. It’s also home to many high-end restaurants and beach bars, the most famous among them being Nammos Beach Club. While it has an upscale bohemian chilled-out atmosphere, there’s always a party breaking out at Nammos. The extremely popular Mykonos beach club and restaurant is simply the place to be and be seen in The Cyclades. To avoid not getting in or waiting in long lines, make sure to arrive early or book ahead with your luxury travel agent.

​

Psarou is one of the most famous beaches of the island offering golden sand and crystal-clear waters. Every year, thousands of visitors arrive to this gorgeous and highly organized beach by car or yacht. One of the main attractions here is Nammos restaurant, a hotspot for celebrities and jet-setters. Spoil yourselves on the most comfortable sunbeds and around 16:00 is when party begins.

​

Tip: Due to Psarou's excessive demand - especially during July and August, reservations for tables and requests for sunbeds need to be made at least 3 days in advance. As per Nammos sunbed policy, the restaurant does not accept reservations for the sunbeds, however they take requests and include the guest’s name on a priority list, which is taken into consideration until 11:00 am. 

Paraga Beach

The next beaches along the coast are Platis Gialos — with lots of restaurants and a water taxi to Paradise Beach — and Agia Anna Beach, where you will find the famous Nikolas Taverna. We recommend heading to the bustling Paraga Beach and home of three Mykonos beach clubs: the luxurious SantAnna, chilled-out Kalua, & the ultra-stylish Scorpios. A favorite of our CEO Niko Contardi, the must-visit Scorpios is a space of art, design, food, music, and healing. Named one of the best beach clubs in the world by Conde Nast Traveler in 2020, the boho-chic design and award-winning food attract a sophisticated crowd that like to party hard and in style. 

Ftelia Beach

You don’t want to finish a trip in Mykonos without checking out the Northside of the island. The northside of Mykonos is much more chilled out and relaxed than the Southern side. It’s perfect for boat days, family outings, snorkeling, island hopping, wildlife and sea life spotting, massage, walking, etc. Those still looking for bohemian Mykonos beach clubs won’t be disappointed: The cosmopolitan Alemagou on Ftelia Beach and the high-end Principote on Panormos Beach are two of the best on the island. Also known as a windsurfers paradise, Ftelia beach is one of the most tranquil and bohemian in Mykonos. Its strong northern winds mean it’s not optimum for swimming or sunbathing, but for the same reason, it means that even in July and August it’s not very crowded. Sitting on the left side of Ftelia beach, Almegaou is an all-day beach destination, offering coffee, breakfast, food, cocktails, swimming, and dancing. If you prefer more action, it’s also the perfect base for watersports such as windsurfing, kite surfing, beginners and advanced surfing, and diving.

Panormos Beach

This well-sheltered, unspoiled beach is a haven for snorkeling and the home of the laid-back and luxurious Principote Beach Club. Accessible by car or beach club moorings (the best way to see the North is by car or yacht), this Mykonos beach club has a particularly impressive fine dining restaurant, complete with an Aegean-inspired sushi bar and a VIP restaurant area. If seeking even more privacy, a short drive along the coast is Agios Sostis: a completely undeveloped beach surrounded by sloping hills. Armenistis Lighthouse is also a must-visit and a great excuse to reach the northwest tip of the island.

Previously a well-kept secret, Panormos is one of the Mykonos beaches that retain a “wild and natural” side. Half of it is serviced by Principote de Mykonos restaurant and beach bar and is crowded, filled with umbrellas and laid with luxurious sunbeds, while the other half remains unspoiled and natural. Principote de Mykonos restaurant and beach bar, a last year entry, is already considered one of the classiest and most upscale spots for the summer. Venues are new, chic and luxurious, cuisine is Greek, and service is of the highest quality in all levels.

Kalo Livadi Beach

Kalo Livadi’s thin white sand makes it one of the most beloved beaches in Mykonos. As you walk down one of the longest beaches on the island, you will find a section with loud music making you want to dance in your lounge chair and a tranquil section to relax. With fine sands and shallow, crystal-clear water, you will be sure to see a range of people playing paddleball or enjoying a nice walk on the sandy stretch. The beach is family friendly and both Greek and international restaurants and beach clubs can be found across the coast.

Fokos Beach

Fokos is a great beach for those who wish to get away from the crowds in Mykonos and enjoy the sea in seclusion and tranquility. The beach is family friendly and hosts a small Greek tavern which makes a great lunch option for authentic Greek cuisine and fresh local seafood. For the adventurous, the beach can also be approached by horseback riding. There

are several horseback riding programs, some of which include a photo shooting from a professional photographer. 

​

Tip: The sandy beach of Fokos has no tourist facilities, like umbrellas and sunbeds, so stock up on essentials!

Agios Sostis Beach

Agios Sostis has been the most popular natural beach of Mykonos since the 50’s. Totally untouched, it offers a sandy coastline, clear waters and privacy. The small and famous Kiki’s tavern right up the hill is the most authentic traditional Greek tavern of the island, as it has been operating for more than 30 years without electricity or a phone, offering freshly prepared delicious meals.

​

Tip: No sun beds, umbrellas or restaurants means stock up on essentials and enjoy this shallow-watered paradise.

Kapari Beach

​

Tip: Pack some refreshments, as there is nothing of the sort close by
