Marialena StefoudiJuly 13, 20264 min read

Whether you're visiting for the first time or returning for another summer in the Cyclades, here's your ultimate Mykonos bucket list.

1. Wander Through Mykonos Town (Chora)

The best way to discover Mykonos is simply to get lost.

Spend a morning wandering through the maze of whitewashed alleyways, colourful bougainvillea, hidden chapels, designer boutiques, and charming cafés that make Chora one of Greece's most iconic towns.

Don't miss:

  • Matogianni Street
  • Little Venice
  • The Old Port
  • Local boutiques
  • Hidden art galleries

Every corner offers another postcard-worthy view.


2. Watch the Sunset by the Windmills

The Mykonos Windmills are among the island's most famous landmarks.

Perched above Little Venice, they offer one of the best sunset viewpoints on the island.

Arrive early, grab a drink nearby, and watch as the sky turns shades of gold, pink, and orange over the Aegean.

It's a moment every visitor should experience.


3. Spend a Day at a Beach Club

Mykonos is home to some of the world's most famous beach clubs.

Whether you're looking for laid-back luxury or lively afternoon parties, there's something for every style.

Some of our favourites include:

  • Scorpios
  • Nammos
  • Principote
  • Alemagou

Relax on a sunbed, enjoy a long Mediterranean lunch, sip cocktails by the sea, and let the music carry you into sunset.


4. Explore Mykonos by Boat

One of the best ways to experience Mykonos is from the water.

A private yacht or boat trip allows you to discover hidden coves, swim in crystal-clear waters, visit secluded beaches, and admire the island from a completely different perspective.

Whether you're planning a romantic cruise, celebrating with friends, or simply looking for a memorable day at sea, it's an experience you'll never forget.

Through Advanza, you can also discover exclusive yacht experiences and private boat charters.


5. Visit the Ancient Island of Delos

Just a short boat ride from Mykonos lies Delos, one of Greece's most important archaeological sites and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Believed to be the mythical birthplace of Apollo and Artemis, Delos offers an incredible journey through ancient temples, mosaics, theatres, and thousands of years of history.

If you want to experience another side of Mykonos beyond the beaches and nightlife, this is the perfect day trip.


6. Enjoy Your Hotel

One of the biggest mistakes visitors make?

Trying to see everything.

Mykonos is home to some of Greece's most spectacular hotels, many featuring private pools, exceptional spas, breathtaking sea views, and world-class restaurants.

Whether you're staying in a boutique suite or a luxury resort, make time to enjoy it.

Slow mornings, poolside afternoons, and sunset cocktails are part of the Mykonos experience.
