Welcome to Mykonos
Whitewashed villages, winding cobblestone streets, beautiful beaches and sunsets over the Aegean — there’s a reason we fell in love with Mykonos.
It was our first international trip together and the place where our story really began. Nearly ten years later, we can’t wait to return and share a little bit of the island we love with some of our favorite people.
Mykonos Town
Get lost in the winding streets of Chora, shop the little boutiques, stop for a drink in Little Venice and wander past the famous windmills. Part of the fun is having nowhere in particular to be.
Beaches & Beach Clubs
Spend an afternoon swimming in the Aegean or settle into a beach club for lunch, music and a few cocktails. From relaxed stretches of sand to the island’s legendary beach clubs, there’s something for every mood.
Eat & Drink
Long Greek lunches, sunset cocktails, fresh seafood and dinners that somehow turn into nights out — Mykonos is best enjoyed without rushing. And if you’re still awake, the town will be too.
BEACHES
SUPER PARADISE BEACH — Lively & Proud
Beautiful water with a more energetic atmosphere and a long-standing LGBTQ+ scene. A great choice if you want your beach day to turn into cocktails, music, and a little more action later in the afternoon. Home to JackieO’ Beach Club.
​
ELIA BEACH — Relaxed & Social
One of Mykonos’ best-known LGBTQ+ beaches, with a long-standing gay scene and an easygoing atmosphere. Head toward the far end of the beach for the area traditionally most popular with gay travelers.
​
PSAROU BEACH — Polished & Glamorous
The polished side of Mykonos. Gorgeous water, upscale restaurants and beach clubs, and home to the famous Nammos scene. Go here when you want your beach day to feel a little more elevated.
​
PLATYS GIALOS — Easy & Classic
Convenient, scenic, and lined with restaurants and hotels. A great all-around beach and an easy jumping-off point for exploring the southern coast.
​

BEACH CLUBS
JACKIE O’S — Iconic Mykonos
One of our favorites and a Mykonos institution. Beautiful beach, great music, cocktails, and a famously LGBTQ+ friendly crowd. Come for lunch and a swim, stay much longer than planned.
​
SCORPIOS — Sunset & Sound
Bohemian Mykonos at its best. Come for a late lunch or afternoon by the sea and stay as the energy builds toward sunset, with cocktails, music, and dancing.
​
BRANCO— Barefoot Luxury
Chic but relaxed, right on Platys Gialos. Think beautiful beach, great food, comfortable loungers and an easy all-day atmosphere without feeling quite as much like a party.
​
NAMMOS — See & Be Seen
The glamorous Mykonos experience. Set on beautiful Psarou Beach, Nammos is where lunch, champagne, shopping and people-watching can easily become an entire afternoon.
EAT & DRINK
KIKI’S TAVERN — Worth the Wait
A tiny, legendary taverna above Agios Sostis Beach with grilled meats, fresh salads and a wonderfully simple Greek-island feel. No reservations, so arrive early and make a day of it.
​
180° SUNSET BAR — Drinks With a View
One of the best sunset views on the island. Go for cocktails before dinner and watch the sun disappear over Mykonos Town and the Aegean.
​
DINNER IN MYKONOS TOWN — Get Lost & Find Dinner
Some of the best evenings start without much of a plan. Wander the little streets, stop for a cocktail, and settle into a taverna or restaurant that catches your eye.
​
L’ART GIOCONDO / DAVINCI — Something Sweet
Save room for a late-night crepe or gelato while wandering through town. Mykonos is particularly good at turning dessert into another stop on a night out.
EXPLORE
ARMENISTIS LIGHTHOUSE— The Quiet Side of Mykonos
Head north for sweeping views of the Aegean and a completely different side of the island. Especially beautiful around golden hour.
​
AGIOS SOSTIS BEACH — Mykonos Unplugged
Pair this with lunch at Kiki’s Tavern. It's an unspoiled, laid-back beach without the rows of loungers and beach-club scene you'll find elsewhere.
​
MYKONOS TOWN — Get Lost on Purpose
Skip the map for a while. Wander the whitewashed lanes, browse the boutiques, stop for coffee or a drink, and see where you end up.
​
THE WINDMILLS & LITTLE VENICE— The Classic
Yes, they're the postcard spots, but they're worth seeing. Walk through Little Venice and up toward the famous windmills, ideally around sunset or early in the morning.
