HOW ABOUT VISITING MYKONOS THIS SUMMER?

  By

Mykonos is one of the most famous Greek islands worldwide. What? You’ve never heard of it? You must be kidding! However, you don’t have to worry because I’m here to provide you with all the required information and to talk you into paying a visit to this extraordinary island of the Aegean Sea in the next few weeks. Starting off, this place is known to celebrities globally and there are really important reasons for it and we are going to refer to them below. Most of you might be thinking that it would be an excellent idea to visit this earthly paradise during off-season as it would be easier to book a place to spend the nights and that the clubs and the restaurants will be less crowded. But-take my word-you will regret it as the best season to explore this beauty is during summer months.

BEACHES AND CLUBS

Mykonos boasts some of the greatest beaches you could possibly imagine. “Super Paradise”, “Agrari” and “Platys Gialos” are just some of them and only if you visit them and swim in their crystal-clear waters will you get to my point. You aren’t the swimmer kind of guy? Stay cool-neither am I! That’s why there are dozens of sun loungers in every shore for you to relax while having your beverage and reading your favorite book in the shade. Please, don’t forget your sunglasses and sunscreen though since Greek sun is really hazardous at this time of year and precautions are absolutely vital.

Greek islands, like Mykonos, are rather popular with the youth and celebrities for their clubs. In fact, there are two sorts of them: the usual ones as all around the world and the beach ones. The former don’t need to be advertised as they are pretty known and more or less all of us have been to such a place at least once in our lives. But some guests are not very familiar to the latter. Thus, let me tell you a bit about them. Beach clubs are found only in coastal areas and they do not offer just drinks and snacks. Apart from the expected stuff, special events like weddings, concerts and Dj parties are organized almost on a daily basis and mirth goes on like forever! Music plays really loud unstoppably, day and night, and customers cheer while enjoying their drink or just sunbathing nearby.

RENT A VILLA IN MYKONOS IN ADVANCE

Mykonos villas are said to be of the highest quality and can provide you with unforgettable experiences. To begin with, you can organize in coordination with the owners of the villas your or your best friend’s wedding as you’ve dreamt of it or even better. There are wedding specialists in most Mykonos villas to make this day of your life the most memorable of all! The cost per person for such an exciting event is only 80€/person and it includes both the ceremony and the party to follow. Believe me such postcard-like moments worth every cent you’ll spend or more. Now, if you are the type of person who loves cruising across the seas and being on board is a dream coming true then you should look no further. Just go ahead and book now your own luxurious yacht to spend some hours and why not days in the Aegean Sea letting the air refresh your spirit and regenerate you and your fellow crew members. Prices start from 350€ an individual. And here comes the most fabulous news you had ever expected to hear (or read)..You can book a helicopter flight (!) to take a look of Mykonos just like a bird would. It is for sure that you won’t want to get off the board in the end.  The owners of the mansions will be more than happy to serve you anytime via phone or email or chat.

Mykonos travel tips

To enjoy your vacations at Mykonos island you need to get well prepared. Especially if you are planning to visit the island during the peak time (end of June to end of August), you need to plan as many details as possible. Mykonos gets really overcrowded and if you don’t come with a plan, you may miss some places you would like to visit.

Here is a short list of things you should consider while planning your Mykonos vacations.

Choose the places you will visit according to your likes

In Mykonos you will find a big variety of restaurants, bars and beaches. You can’t visit them all – and you don’t want to – so do some research, find out the ones you would mostly like to visit and book well in advance.

If you are a party animal, you shouldn’t miss the party beaches on the south shoreline of Mykonos: Paradise, Super Paradise and Psarou. If you prefer less noisy but organized beaches, some good suggestions are Agios Ioannis, Ornos, Kalafatis, Platys Gialos, Agia Anna, Panormos, and Agios Stefanos. In case you like more secluded and natural environments, pick Agios Sostis, Korfos, Fokos, Kapari or Houlakia beaches.

Eating at Mykonos can be a really pleasant experience and there are many different cuisines available. For a delicious local meal you can go to Kiki’s tavern at Agios Sostis beach or Avli Tou Thodori at Platys Gialos beach or Karavaki Restaurant at Chora Mykonos. For an elegant atmosphere and gourmet dishes, try Nammos, Principote, Scorpios , Interni or M-eating.

Book everything you can in advance

As soon as you decide what places you want to go to, make reservations for as many of them as you can. Good restaurants have a long waiting list and VIP tickets to the best clubs are sold out quickly.

The same goes for accommodation and car hires. Some villas or hotels are booked several months prior to their visitors’ arrival. If you want to make sure you will not miss anything of what you are planning to do, book early. Priority should be given to accommodation, restaurants and car or bike rental. You should also book for tickets to museums, VIP access to clubs and daily trips.

Pick a suitable accommodation

Although Mykonos island isn’t very big and you can easily access most of the places in a short time, it will be much more convenient if you stay near to the sites you plan to visit.

A good base for your trip would be near Chora Mykonos. Remember that the center of the town can be very noisy even during the night so it is better to avoid it. There are some very good hotels around Chora Mykonos like Belvedere, Leto hotels or Semeli.  But the most beautiful and luxurious accommodation can be found away from Mykonos Chora. On the way from Chora to the New Port you will find Cavo Tagoo 5 star hotel.

If you are planning to stay mostly at the southern part of Mykonos, where all the big parties and clubs are, it would be better to choose a villa in Mykonos or hotel suite there. You will find a great number of 5 star hotels and villas with plenty of amenities and amazing views to the Aegean Ocean. Some of the best hotels are Santa Marina near Ornos Beach, Rocabella Hotel and Spa at Agios Stefanos Beach, Palladium Boutique Hotel at Platys Gialos and Grecotel Mykonos Blu Hotel at Psarou Beach.

If you prefer the privacy there are elegant mykonos villas for rent on the island.

Or if you are looking for something more permanent you might want to check out the Mykonos Real Estate, to find your idyllic summer villa.

Check transportation options and work out a plan

It is highly recommended that you rent a car or a bike for your transportation during your visit. There are so many awesome places to visit and you shouldn’t waste time and energy to wait for the public bus or a taxi. Keep in mind that it gets really hot during the day and it would be really uncomfortable if you have to walk under the sun.

Occasionally you can use public transport as taxi boats, bus or taxi but you should check timetables before you decide to use it.

In Mykonos you will find some more luxurious ways to travel within the island, like limousines, helicopters and luxury yachts. If you want to visit Dilos and Rinia islets or some of the secluded beaches, the most convenient way is to rent a yacht with a capltain.

What to take with you

Here is a list of what you should definitely take with you for your Mykonos vacations:

  • Light, convenient clothes
  • Your most elegant beachwear
  • Trendy, chic clothes suitable for the night clubs you want to visit
  • A good 30 or 50 suncream, a hat and sarong
  • A backbag or a beach bag
  • Comfortable walking shoes
  • Your driving license
