20+ Best Things to Do in Mykonos, Greece

by Stephanie July 7, 2021
by Stephanie July 7, 2021
Mykonos windmills

Mykonos Island in Greece is unique in so many ways. Yes it is true that is has a party reputation. You will find one of the best parties in Mykonos. A good thing is that the party can get as classy or sophisticated as you like. But Mykonos offers more than just parties.

This island will blow your mind with its pristine beaches and amazing food. After falling in love with Mykonos, here are my recommended top things to do in Mykonos on your visit.

 

windmills of Mykonos

The iconic windmills!

1. Check out the obligatory Mykonos Windmills of Chora

You know exactly what I am talking about here ๐Ÿ™‚ These pictures that are on every single brochure. If Santorini has the white house with the blue dome by the caldera, well Mykonos has the iconic windmills by the sea. Not going to lie but they are a delight to see and you can even choose to stay in a windmill if you fancy.

windmills of Mykonos

Dreamy Mykonos

No it wont be the famous ones by the water but there are a few windmills around the island that have been adapted as guesthouses.

 

 

Mykonos town

Can’t believe I’m not dreaming

2. Get lost in the narrow streets of Mykonos Town

Mykonos town is such a charming little place. It is in the same area as little Venice waterfront. I absolutely recommend you just get lost in the little streets and soak up the vibe. Every street looks like it came straight out of a drawing with their colorful flowers.

 

 

FOkos Beach Mykonos

Another paradise found

3. Go Beach Hoping throughout the island

Now this is where Mykonos shines through. There are so many beautiful beaches with pristine waters. Check out my Mykonos beach guide for some true and tested beaches around the island.

Ornos Beach

Ornos Beach

Wherever you go, rest assure that Mykonos will not disappoint when it comes to crystal clear beaches.

 

 

Little Venice Mykonos

Little Venice is always happening ๐Ÿ™‚

4. Have a drink or Party in Little Venice

Little Venice is such a charming place. After you check out the windmills, just keep walking down towards the sea and you will end up in Little Venice. You can grab a seat and a drink there while doing some people watching.

mykonos town party

No time to sleep in Mykonos!

At night, this place literally transforms into a party area as they turn up the music and open very late.

 

Viewpoint of Mykonos

Somebody please pinch me!

5. Get to the highest viewpoint for a spectacular view

You can head to Mykonos Town viewpoint or pretty much anytime you find yourself driving upwards on the island, just find a safe spot to park so you can have a nice view over the waterfront.

 

ornos beach

Chic resort town of Ornos

6. Check out the Chic town of Ornos

This is our favorite area to stay in Mykonos. This neighborhood is so peaceful, classy and also has its own beautiful beachย  along with some of the best dining on the island. Think about it as a chic and small “resort” area but without the tackiness.

 

7. Have a fancy meal in the luxurious Ornos Town

Some of the best meals we’ve had was in Ornos. You can’t really go wrong. Just stroll along, read their menus and go with the one that strikes your fancy. You can choose from luxury fusion dining, to international or no frills local traditional cuisine.

 

Paradise beach club Mykonos

Welcome to Paradise!

8. Spend a day in Paradise beach Club

This beach will blow your mind away. Expect the bluest shade of blue and some nice sand. One thing I find incredible is that although this beach is world famous, it still manages to retain a peaceful vibe even with the ongoing parties.

paradise beach club

Paradise Beach Club ( absolutely zero filter, 100% true picture )

They do a good job catering to different crowds. Most importantly, they are super down to earth with an amazing hospitality.

Party in Mykonos at Paradise Beach Club

We both can’t resist a good party with some good music ๐Ÿ™‚

9. Stay the night and Party away in world famous Paradise beach club

If you want to party and let loose, you just got to follow the music. The party never really stops. It picks up sometimes midday and continues throughout the night.

partying in Mykonos

One thing leads to the next and before you know it, you’re on the stage dancing ๐Ÿ™‚

Old Port of Mykonos

Woke up just in time to visit the beautiful old port ๐Ÿ™‚

10. Do not miss the old port of Mykonos

This is one of my favorite place on the island. I love to go there for a more authentic, traditional pace of Greek life. There is also a little beach that you can go swim at.

 

cats in mykonos in front of gelato shop

Best place for a nap hehe

gelato in mykonos old port

Priorities at the right place with my yummy Tiramisu Gelato!

11. Have a gelato in the old port

Craving a gelato? I’ve had one of the best gelatos in Greece. Anyone else obsessed with tiramisu and tiramisu gelatos?

 

chairs at the old port of mykonos

A very nice spot for lunch!

12. Grab a seat and people watch on the waterfront

One of the best things to do in the waterfront. Relax with a glass of sangria and do nothing else but people watching.

 

13. Visit the charming village of Ano Mera

Get away from the tourists and head to Ano Mera village. It is only 15 minutes away from Mykonos town but has a different vibe. There’s still plenty of shops, cafรฉs and tavernas.

 

14. Go Wine Tasting

Discover the wines of Mykonos by booking a wine tour. It is a lovely relaxing way to spend your day all while exploring the local culture.

 

15. Get active and go Kayaking around the island

The pristine waters of Mykonos make for a fantastic kayaking trip. You get such a clear view that you can see some fish while kayaking.

 

 

 

churches of Mykonos

Church lovers, rejoice!

churches of Mykonos

Here’s another beautiful church in the center of Mykonos town

churches of Mykonos

ok, that’s probably enough churches for now ๐Ÿ™‚

16. Explore the many churches

There are so many churches in Mykonos. If you love to visit churches, you will be spoilt for choice.

17. Spend a day at Sea with a Boat tour

You can’t go wrong with a boat tour. There are plenty of boat tours to choose from in Mykonos. Most will also come with lunch and drinks. All you have to do is show up and have a good time.

18. Day tour to a nearby island

Personally, I think it might be a bit rushed to try to visit another island like Santorini on a day tour. But if you are spending a long time in Mykonos and are up for the challenge, it can be done.

Check out the ferries timetables in order to coordinate your day.

Mykonos Greek salad

The infamous Greek Salad

eating grilled Octopus in Mykonos

My ultimate obsession

eating fried anchovies in mykonos

Second obsession : Fried Anchovies

19. Indulge and Eat all the food

The food is one reason why we love going to Greece so much. Especially if you love seafood like I do, then you can’t really go wrong with any of these Cyclades islands. Expect fresh seafood, paired with amazing wines and what else does one need?

 

cats of Mykonos

What about the cats, I hear you cry? ๐Ÿ™‚

20. Go crazy for the cat modelsย 

Now I know that Joseph and I aren’t the only ones obsessed with cats. We absolutely go crazy for cats but the Greek cats and especially the Mykonos cats are on another level of cuteness.

The residents dress them up with the cutest scarves and bows. And they just stand there and let you take their pictures. Funniest cats ever ๐Ÿ™‚ So have fun, bring your camera and be a cat photographer for a day.
