Mykonos Travel Guide

Part of the Cyclades, the cosmopolitan Greek island of Mykonos is full of culture, history and partying. Said to have been formed from the petrified bodies of giants killed by Hercules in Greek mythology, the traditional architecture and narrow streets are perfect for strolls.

Things to Do in Mykonos

Titled “the island of the winds”, on a hill next to the Little Venice neighborhood are the Mykonos windmills, a collection of old-fashioned windmills on a hill. Visitors head here for the stunning views of the city and to explore inside the rustic interiors of the windmills.

Check out the range of museums in Mykonos, including the Aegean maritime museum with model boat exhibitions, and the Museum of Mykonos displaying ancient sculptures and pottery. Or relax on Super Paradise Beach, home to white sands and impressive waterfront clubs.

Best Time to Visit Mykonos

Mykonos is popular with travelers all year round but most flock to the island between June to September, when temperatures peak in the mid-80's.
