Mykonos is an eclectic place–pristine beaches, elegant boutiques, fine dining, and rowdy bars are all packed onto one tiny piece of land, a mere 15km long at its widest point. Partying is a round-the-clock affair here, against a scenic backdrop of whitewashed houses and Little Venice, Mykonos Town's most charming neighbourhood.

Do & See

The entire island of Mykonos is only 15km at its widest point–a small but intimate place, where it's possible to see everything in a relatively short period of time. Start off by strolling through Little Venice, the waterfront bar and restaurant strip of Mykonos Town, and make your way up into the maze of narrow streets dotted with shops and eateries. Take a photo against the backdrop of the island's iconic windmills, and of course, make the most of its many splendid beaches.

Little Venice

This scenic neighbourhood is a delight both day and night. Stroll along the waterfront and get a feel for the town while taking in the distinct local architecture. Sit down for a seafood lunch, have dinner with a view (over the blue waters and iconic hilltop windmills), or explore the bar scene after sundown.

Beaches

If beach parties are what you're after, Mykonos will not disappoint. Check out the famous Paradise Beach and/or Super Paradise Beach for some of the hottest waterfront bars and clubs that never sleep (dancing is often in full swing in broad daylight). For a more relaxed, quieter experience, head to Elia, Platis Gialos, Ornos, Panormos, Paranga, or Agios Sostis Beaches–the latter is a true hidden gem tucked away far from the frenzied crowd in the island's north.

The Windmills

The island's iconic landmark is its collection of whitewashed round windmills (or Kato Milli), which make for some incredible postcard-ready photographs.

Archaeological Site of Delos

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the island of Delos is an important sacred site for the ancient Greeks, and therefore, a must-visit for history and archaeology enthusiasts. It holds some curios remains of ancient civilisations: a former amphitheatre, historic houses with mosaics, temples, and the famous Terrace of the Lions. Don't skip the museum–it contains some artefacts dating as far back as the 25th century BC.

Panagia Paraportiani

The name of this Greek orthodox church translates to "Our Lady of the Side Gate" since its entrance is located at the side gate of the entrance to the Kastro neighbourhood. The church is made up of five whitewashed chapels across two floors that once guarded the entrance to the town’s castle. Construction began in the 14th centry and was completed in the 17th century. Now it's considered one of the island's icons and a must-visit spot.
