Start with the part of the island where you want to spend your evenings. In Mykonos Town (Chora), you can walk from the lanes of Little Venice to the windmills above the waterfront. If you would rather start the day by the sea, look around Ornos or Platis Gialos. For a different pace, consider the village of Ano Mera, inland from the beaches.
Browse hotels in Mykonos by area, or explore the directories for rooms and apartments, villas and campsites. If price is your starting point, read the guide to staying in Mykonos on a budget.
For a first visit, spend a morning on foot in Chora. Follow the harbour west towards Little Venice, then climb to the windmills for a view back across the water. Across the strait, the ancient settlement on Delos offers a different view of the Cyclades. Read about the history of Delos and its archaeological site before planning a day on the island.
Build the rest of your itinerary around your interests. Explore Mykonos attractions, find quieter corners of the island, or choose a walk using the outdoor activities guide. For an evening in town, start with the guide to food in Mykonos and the island’s nightlife.
Use the practical travel tips to prepare for your visit. If your dates are flexible, the off-season guide offers ideas beyond a summer beach holiday.
