Mykonos

My wife and I were stranded here an extra night, stealing a day we had already paid for in Santorini. It’s a very party oriented island in the main city, but I rented a scooter and had a fantastic time visiting some of the less busy rural farm areas on the island and the less crowded beaches away from where the cruise ships regularly deposit tidal waves of people and then take them away. But it’s still a beautiful island even if you don’t want to party until 7 am each night.

I want to go this place because it is absoulutely beautiful. The pictures that I have seen from this place give you the feeling of being care free and the feeling of not wanting to come home.

Mykonos was by far my favorite island! It was gorgeous and soo much fun! Paradise Beach was an awesome place to party during the day. The only problem was that at first when we would meet guys we weren’t sure if they were gay or straight.

...will be my last, I think. Overpriced, overhyped, a disappointment. There are many beautiful Greek islands, but this one wasn’t for me.

Went last August and it was amazing. Everyone was really nice, laid in the sun all day and then went out all night. They know how to party here. Make sure and enjoy the ouzo!

We went to Mykonos in the 3rd week of September – it was the end of the season and was an excellent time to go for having the place all to ourselves.

Do NOT go in August as the place is jam packed with Italians and Greeks and the prices are sky high!

DO go in June – the days are longer, the weather perfect, and the locals aren’t yet sick and tired of all of the tourists. If you go to the beach the water will still be very cold though…

The best beach is Elia beach. You can get their vai bus from the port bus terminal. Tickets are €1.50 each way. Simple.
At Elia beach you can rent beach loungers for €3.00 and an umbrealla for €2.00. The food at the Elia restaurant is great.

Restaurants: We like Avra
We think Aqua is nice – but pricey.
For good pizza – we like Modo Mio

Make sure you take time to see the Pelicans at the dock.

For a day trip – go to Delos Island. €5.00 for entrance – €10.00 for a walking tour and €15.00 for the ferry to get there. It is a good trip for a few hours. But it is the ONLY trip there is—When going to Mykonos – go for sun and relaxing.

Hotel: We stay at the Rochari. Friendly staff and nice accomodation at good prices. We paid €117.00/night for B&B.

I’m making these notes as much for myself as for anyone else – but if you have any questions, feel free to write.

i want to go to Mykonos. because i saw this place in a movie and it looks beautiful. i imagine this place to be a dreamland.. where in the morning the sun rises from your feet and sets in your feet. also the architecture seems to be very unusual. the white buildinds are very captivating.. so i wish i could go there for a holiday.

I can’t remember the name of the beach, but there was this tiny restarant that served the best baked chicken with potatoes and a croissant. You can get it for $5 American and that includes beer.

I heard stories from the Australian bartender about how wild it can get in the summer. I went in October during my honeymoon, so I didn’t see any wildness. Great place.

Awesome place, just like i thought i was… lots of white buildings with the blue windows. We stazed in Paradise Beach, where the party never stopped! was cool for a while, but I think next time I’ll try to relax a bit more heh

I saw pictures of Mykonos when I was six years old and have wanted to visit ever since. I am just amazed at how beautiful it looks.
