Mykonos is the Greek island postcard come to life, with cube-shaped whitewashed houses, blue doors, winding lanes and little chapels. Wander the maze of streets in Chora, the main town, past stylish boutiques and cafes, and you'll feel both its traditions and its famously fun-loving spirit. Often called the Ibiza of Greece, it's known for lively beach clubs and nightlife that goes until sunrise.

The beaches are the main draw, with soft sand and clear blue water. Some, like Paradise and Psarou, are famous for parties and people-watching, while others are quieter and more relaxed. During the day, explore the iconic windmills of Kato Mili, watch the sunset from the colorful waterfront of Little Venice, and take a boat to the sacred island of Delos, one of the most important archaeological sites in Greece. Mykonos is also known as a welcoming LGBTQ destination.

Mykonos has an airport with connections through Athens and is one of the most popular stops on Greek island cruises. I'll match you with the right part of the island for your style and connect Mykonos with Santorini and other islands by ferry.
