Planning a luxury escape to Greece? From iconic beaches and charming whitewashed villages to world-famous restaurants and unforgettable sunsets, discover the very best things to do in Mykonos.
Mykonos has earned its reputation as one of Greece’s most iconic islands, combining breathtaking scenery, luxurious beach clubs, traditional Cycladic architecture and crystal-clear Aegean waters. While many visitors are drawn by the island’s famous nightlife, there’s so much more to discover beyond the bars and beach parties.
From wandering the winding streets of Mykonos Town to exploring hidden beaches, enjoying exceptional Greek cuisine and taking boat trips to nearby Delos, there’s something for every style of traveller.
Wander Through Mykonos Town
No visit to Mykonos is complete without spending time exploring Mykonos Town, also known as Chora. The maze of narrow whitewashed streets is filled with boutique shops, independent galleries, stylish cafés and hidden courtyards, making it one of the island’s most photographed locations.
Take your time wandering through the charming lanes, discovering traditional churches, colourful balconies and picturesque corners that perfectly capture the beauty of the Cyclades. Early morning and late afternoon are ideal times to explore before the streets become busier.
Watch the Sunset at Little Venice
Little Venice is one of the most iconic attractions in Mykonos and one of the best places on the island to watch the sunset. Historic waterfront houses sit directly above the sea, creating spectacular views as the sun disappears beyond the horizon.
Arrive early to enjoy a drink at one of the waterfront bars or restaurants and experience one of the most memorable evenings Mykonos has to offer. It’s a must-see destination for couples, photographers and anyone visiting the island for the first time.
Spend the Day at Kalo Livadi Beach
