Family-Friendly Mykonos — Best Things to Do with Kids (2025)

1) Relax on Family-Friendly Beaches

Skip the party shores. Go for shallow entries, soft sand, and nearby cafés.

• Platis Gialos — Calm water, boardwalk cafés. Open in Maps
• Ornos — Organized beach, SUP/kayak, easy lunch stops. Open in Maps
• Agios Ioannis — Quieter, Delos views, gentle slope. Open in Maps

Bring kids’ snorkels; visibility is excellent on calm days.

2) Wander Mykonos Town (Chora)

Make it a game: spot the windmills, find Petros the Pelican (there are a few now), and walk Little Venice for a sea-view lunch.

3) Boat Trip to Delos (UNESCO)

Short boat ride + world-class ruins = win for older kids. Book a guided slot to turn myths into stories they’ll remember. Ferries/tours leave from the Old Port with multiple daily options in season.

4) Aegean Maritime Museum

Compact, easy, and central. Don’t miss the original Armenistis Lighthouse mechanism displayed in the garden—great “how did ships find their way?” moment for kids.
