We joined Sunset Oia for a Luxury Catamaran Day Trip around the caldera and it was one of our favorite experiences in Santorini. Getting there was easy — after tendering ashore, we rode the cable car up to Fira and met our transfer right on time. (Tip: Grab coffee and pastries at Svoronos Bakery next door while you wait!) The check-in process at the marina was impressively organized — guests are grouped by color-coded tours, and the staff were professional, friendly, and efficient. The catamaran was spotless, the crew engaging, and the itinerary covered all the highlights: Red Beach, White Beach, and the volcanic hot springs. The onboard meal was fresh and plentiful — grilled skewers, Greek salad, dolmadakia, and local wine flowing freely. The mix of scenery, swimming, and relaxation made for the perfect Santorini day. Truly a first-class experience with a team that knows how to blend hospitality and precision.

Probably the best excursion I have ever done on a trip. You board, the crew explains the rules, there’s unlimited wine s d soft drinks on coses, beer for purchase, and they feed you dinner. I had a pork souvlaki, that was amazing. It came with fresh Greek salad, stuffed grape leaves and tzatziki. The crew was super fun, and the swimming and snorkeling was amazing. 10/10 would book again.

Love love LOVED our Sunset Oia experience. We booked for two on Viator after literal weeks of deliberation on whether or not we should spent that amount of money for a sunset cruise (approx $145 USD each), not platinum booking, just regular. This trip was our favorite thing we did on our 2-week Greece vacation and possibly ever. - The staff was so kind and accommodating, we felt so taken care of before we even stepped foot on the boat to when it was time for us to be dropped off to our hotel by the Sunset Oia driver. - The boat itself was bordering the definition of luxurious, and very clean. - They did not overbook the catamaran and there was lots of space on board with the other passengers to where it felt basically like a private booking. So amazing!! - Locations were calm, and not overcrowded. When we went to swim there was only about 1 other boat in the waters, and it was the weekend. - Food was plentiful. Buffet style with options for seconds including the full-size protein options. It was also delicious. Top 3 foods we ate in Greece. So worth it I would go back to Greece and Santorini just to do this everyday. lol!

We had a private catamaran half day tour and it was perfect and magical! The crew was helpful and welcoming! The boat luxurious and spacious! The food was delicious and the swimming stops were lovely! They were very good with our food allergies :) a must!!!

The Sunset Oia boat tour was absolutely unforgettable! The views were breathtaking from start to finish, sailing around the caldera, swimming in the crystal-clear waters, and watching the sunset from the sea was pure magic. The crew was super friendly, attentive, and made everyone feel comfortable throughout the trip. The food and drinks on board were great and everything was really well organized — from pickup to drop-off. The atmosphere was relaxed and fun, perfect for groups of friends.

I cannot recommend Sunset Oia Cruises enough — this was the highlight of my trip to Santorini! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (POV of a Solo female traveller.) Pickup was seamless, with a comfortable, air-conditioned van and wide seats (even at 300 lbs, I fit perfectly). Our driver was safe and professional. We did the morning tour, which I *highly* recommend over sunset — vehicle and pedestrian traffic for sunset was horrendous as we were leaving. All communication beforehand was prompt and kind, as well as easily accommodating. The boat was spacious and clean, with three swim stops and an absolutely delicious buffet lunch — fresh, high-quality, and way more than enough food for everyone! (Souvlaki of chicken/pork/veggies; dolmas; tzatki/greek salad without fillers like lettuce; pita) Drinks like water, soft drinks, and white wine are included but beer is €4 and cocktails are extra. They only accept cash. > One small suggestion: ginger ale would be a great addition to the drink menu, especially since ginger helps calm seasick stomachs. The crew worked hard, but Fotini was truly exceptional. She was constantly working while other employees took breaks or sat on their phones; and she handled even the most absurd and entitled guest behavior (“Can you calm the waves? Can you turn off the wind?”) with grace and professionalism. She was not only proactive but a natural leader — solving problems before they even arose. If I still owned my company, I would immediately hire Fotini — even if it meant paying for her visa sponsorship, flights, and accommodations, to move to Canada. Her work ethic and dedication are priceless. Companies spend huge amounts of money trying to train and build employees like her, but with Fotini, these qualities are simply who she is. Sunset Oia is very lucky to have her, and they should do everything they can to keep her. If tips are shared, she’s the one who truly earned them. **Advice for future guests:** -Reapply sunscreen after every swim — many people didn’t and ended the day painfully sunburned. -Bring aloe vera, extra towels, a waterproof phone pouch, and a portable charger. -In case you get seasick, bring medication with you. I didn’t think I’d need it, but I really wish I had brought it. Incredible value, unforgettable experience, and a crew that truly cares — especially Fotini. 🌅

This was such a fun way to spend the day. The crew was super nice- captain Adonis and crew. The food was delicious and the views were stunning. I would most definitely recommend everyone to go out and enjoy with them.

The view and scenery were simply stunning!🤩the only complain comes from the route to the temple, it is quite difficult as the terrain was hard to walk and no safety rails whatsoever exists, lots of other people going. Anyway, I'd recommend this as one-time visit if above points are not blockers👍🏼tickets 20€/person at the gates

The Acropolis itself is impressive and fascinating to explore, but for me the real highlight was the breathtaking view of the surroundings - the beaches, Lindos, and the mountains. From the top, the scenery is absolutely spectacular. We arrived right at 8:00 in the morning and were able to enjoy the site before it became crowded with other visitors. The walk up to the Acropolis is also very pleasant, offering beautiful side views of Lindos along the way. Tickets cost €20 per person, which may feel a little overpriced, but I would still highly recommend the experience - it’s definitely worth it.

Beautiful place with stunning views over Lindos and the sea, definitely worth visiting! However, the €20 entrance fee felt a bit high, especially since there was no guide or detailed information to explain what you see. Even at the end of the season it was very crowded, with a long wait at the ticket office. Keep in mind there’s a steep walk with many steps, so bring water and good shoes. Best to visit early in the morning or later in the afternoon to avoid the heat and the crowds.

We visited in low season (end of October) and the wait was under 10 mins. This is an incredible archeological site in a beautiful location. Watch your step as we saw a couple of people slip and trip (they do warn you to take care). Well worth the visit. Fresh orange juice available in the cafe with a wonderful view.

Looming over the town of Lindos, this historic fortified citadel holds several ancient structures, including the Doric Temple of Athena Lindia, The Castle of the Knights of St John, and an amphitheater. The acropolis offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Aegean Sea and the town below. Donkey rides are a traditional mode of transport here and remain a popular way of climbing the village's steep hills. On the way up, you'll pass by white-washed houses, quaint shops, and restaurants offering traditional Greek fare. Lindos is a 30-mile bus ride from Rhodes Town, and you'll need to purchase a ticket to enter the acropolis. The Acropolis of Lindos is a breathtaking historical site with stunning views, although many reviews highlight the steep climb and narrow paths. Visitors frequently mention the high entry fee and crowds, which can detract from the experience, especially during the midday heat. It's best to visit early or late in the day to avoid these issues. While the site is popular among history buffs and photographers, reviewers advise caution for families with young children and those with mobility challenges.

What an absolutely gorgeous place. Please do not let the €20 entrance and walk up the stairs deter you from coming. This is a very well preserved and gorgeous historical site. Yes the Greek heat and the climb will tire you out but it is absolutely worth the views and the feel of history. Plus you can always get a beer on the way down there are plenty of places available in the town :)

The acropolis at Lindos, is a must see. However its a walk up the hill to get there and can be ready busy at times, once inside plenty of things to see with great views of the village and beach. The floor is very uneaven and can be tricky to walk on so you need to make sure you have decent footwear to make the most of your visit. Avoid peak times as you can be queuing quite a way down the steps to get your ticket. Also check pricing as kids are free however you will need I.D to prove they are under 17.

A Snorkeling Paradise! 🌊🐠 Breathtaking scenery meets unforgettable underwater adventures at this iconic bay. The snorkeling is hands-down the best—vibrant fish dart around you in crystal-clear, calm waters, perfect for beginners and pros alike. Safe, serene, and straight out of a postcard, this spot is a must-visit for anyone craving a swim in nature’s aquarium. Pure magic! 🤿💙

Extraordinarily picturesque beach! A few restaurants there and a small free zone. There are less big rocks in the water on the left side. The bid ones on the right side make it sometimes hard to walk in the water. Great depth, making it suitable for snorkelling. Crystal clear water and clean beach.

Paradise.. nothing less can be said for this dreamy hidden gem in the bay. We took the hiking trail from Faliraki to the bay. The view was breathtaking, the trail - kind of challenging, at times very narrow. Still saw many ppl were coming from there. The water was crystal, the rocks in the sea created so beautiful sceneries. The place is not very big, but sunbeds and umbrellas were placed all over it. However, you will get one if you go there earlier (we went there around 9 and there were plenty, by 10:30-11 most were taken). The cost is 30 euro for 2x sunbeds + umbrella, and I think 15 euro for 1x sunbed. There are a lot of rocks to the back of the beach and so many people were laying on them.

What a clear sea, it’s amazing, here is in the my top 3 beach. Only negative side is very expensive sunbed. 2 bed & 1 umbrella is 30 €, but it’s not including anything. You can bring drink and food if you like, otherwise there is a chill restaurant. We came around 9 am, we picked up last beds, so need to come early. Don’t afraid to be late, there is many place to lay down with towel.

Not a beach, just some paid 30€ umbrellas on the rocks where you'll have a hard time getting in the water. Which is dirty, overcrowded and really of no use. Time to time boats unload people making it even worse, but they're probably having a better time than people on land. Ladiko is one * better but still bad. These places are probably great off season when the money-making machine is gone. In high season they're only good to look at from afar. Water seems clean but on the rocks there's all kind of trash.

stunningly beautyfull!! a must on your Rhodes trip! lovely water and lovely people :)

Very crowded but of course gorgeous

This place is so neat! Tickets are 20Euro or about $23 USD. Get there as early as you can, it gets crowded fast. Amazing restored rooms and furniture and so much to learn and see. It is an impressive building and beautifully decorated. There is a wonderful museum at the end to view as well.

Not just a medieval palace, a real voyage in time. We visited the Palace of the Grand Master on a Sunday morning and it seems like we got there before the crowds. We had plenty of time to visit every room and also the opportunity to snap a lot of pictures without too many people around. First things first, the Palace is in pristine condition. I was expecting a nice place but this visit totally blew our minds. It's big, and I mean BIG. Lots of history, stunning architecture, and even more. There are a few places you visit where you feel like words aren't enough to describe, this is one of them. It seems like every room we visited brought a new dimension to the history of the place and wowed us with mosaics, furniture, views or just absolute grandeur. We were lucky enough to visit during a museum day so we got the chance to visit for free, but to be honest, it's totally worth the regular price ice of admission. Take the time to stop by the windows and take a look outside, views are amazing at almost all of them.

A magical place full of history and beauty! I absolutely loved the stunning architecture of the Palace of the Grand Master — as soon as I walked in, it felt like stepping into a Disney movie! Every artifact inside the museum is so well preserved, and the royal rooms are simply beautiful. The atmosphere takes you back in time, letting you imagine the life of the knights who once lived here. The ticket was €20, but it was totally worth it. A must-visit when in Rhodes!

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit to this beautiful palace. It is huge and absolutely stunning and gives a real insight into the Rhodes of yesteryear. We found it fascinating, the architecture, statues, rooms, mosaic floors are awe inspiring and the audiovisual elements really brought it to life. Stop off for a coffee at the lovely coffee shop within the courtyard and enjoyed a lovely coffee. If you are visiting Rhodes this is a must see!

Fantastic - really worth a visit. The architecture of the Palace is wonderful. All of the artifacts inside the museum are well preserved, and the various rooms are terrific to see. It was not overly busy when we went and the tickets were ~€20, but worth it.

Its.very interesting.destinations and full. History in every wall.or street of Rhodes Island. Its quiet amazing to see all those.wall still standing from the past 200 or.500.years passed by .u can still recall how.this.city in period of ancient ruler and invaders. Amazinh artifacts from all.meseum we see. Such a treasure.of history👍👍👍👍 Overall we enjoy the visit🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷

I went on the castle walls and honestly for 5 euro it was a lot of fun! It's a nice walk and you get a nice view of the town. I will say that there are no benches or shade so it can be intense in the heat so ensure you have water.

This spot is right next to the Akrotiri archaeological site, with parking available in a nearby dirt lot. The path is short and quite popular, with a small kiosk at the entrance — when we visited, there was even a guitar player along the way. The beach itself is beautiful but not ideal for swimming, and you’ll need to bring your own umbrella for shade. Overall, it’s a pleasant and easy walk with lovely views.

Nice spot to do an adventurous hike to reach to the beach, but mindful it can be very windy and rocky path. Not sure if this would be good idea for elderly or children to go to the beach with the rocky and windy path

Beautiful view point on the right side of the beach. On 28 October the beach itself was closed with a rope line, you can access the beach but not swim. From the viewpoint you can climb down to the beach or take the road on the left of it. All the local busses stop at the archaeological site from which it’s a little 10 minute walk downwards. Before reaching the view point you will see a sign stating: danger no entry. But everyone continues walking to reach the viewpoint.

The Red Beach in Santorini is truly unique — its red sand and surrounding cliffs create an otherworldly landscape that feels almost like being on Mars. It’s definitely worth a visit when exploring the island.

Have you ever walked through small goat trails and climbed up and down across cliffs to access a beach? Red Beach is such a location. The beach is pretty small-scaled and with small pebbles. Quite a strange view is the result of a landslide some time ago on some storage facilities close to the cliff-side. You see bits and pieces of something which looks like a kitchen and sunbeds covered by dirt.

Another unique place on a unique island. There are several beaches on the island, and they are all different, but this one stands out the most, with its otherworldly views. You can get there by car, there is parking available, then walk for about 5 minutes along a rocky path.

We parked right in front of Saint Nicholas Church and followed the short walking path until reaching a yellow sign covered with stickers — the spot that marks the start of the Red Beach viewpoint The striking red cliffs and turquoise waters were stunning, and we were lucky to come across a violinist playing by the sea, adding a beautiful and unexpected touch to the experience

Fine beach if you really want to go to the beach on Santorini, but otherwise not really worth going from a tourism perspective, unless you have never seen a black-sand beach. Lots of day-beds, shops, and restaurants. Also lots of areas where you can setup your own space for the day. There is free public parking about two blocks away from the beach.

Very nice beach with black sand. Nice view on sea and moutaign. Many restaurant and bar. 1st time i see access to sea for disable or old person on wheel chair with a staff helping ( north beach near Cliff). Very nice initiative from local government. Si no excuse not to bring your grand mama or grand papa to take a swim in the beach

Lovely place for any beach activities. Sand is mixed with small stones. Walking barefoot is not always pleasant but possible.

Lovely beach, and from what I've heard one of the only ones on the island with sand rather than rocks! Much better on the feet! And it was black sand so very cool. A place on the beach for sunbeds, lots of places to eat and a cute souvenir shop too. We had a lovely afternoon here!

Perissa Beach in Santorini is quite an interesting spot. The water isn’t the typical clear blue you see elsewhere on Greece, and the sand has a unique grayish tone. That said, it’s a beautiful and impressive beach with plenty of local shops and restaurants nearby. Parking is easy, and overall, I definitely recommend visiting.

Fantastic beach with plenty of shops & amenities. Amazing architecture with Santorini' signature blue domed roofs and white washed buildings

Summary - Starts from the edge of mutations and then you can keep on walking for kilometers - Relaxing and taking a beer - Bus stop is starting as well as the end of the beach

History in this place is amazing only little bit has been uncovered cause there is no funding for this place. There is so much more under the ash that is still waiting to be discovered Wow was one of my highlights on the excursion I took.

Oh wow!! I was totally amazed at this awesome historic place. Our tour guide showed us a indoor toilet from over 5,000 years ago. Shocking, mind blowing and amazing to see. They understand it to be The Lost City of Atlantis! The pottery and the layers of volcanic ash is over 3 stories deep and archaeologists are working with small instruments including toothbrushes not to harm anything they've only unearthed 5% so far. I'll have to return in about 10 years to see if they have uncovered more and found even more items from 3800 BC. 😲❤️

I like the fact that the site was empty when we visited it. However the experience could be improved by adding more explanations and maybe more visual reconstructions.

This is a truly impressive and unique site. It was once a highly sophisticated village for its time, featuring even toilet seats and an advanced plumbing system. The settlement was completely buried under volcanic ash after the eruption around 2000 BC, yet no human remains were ever found. You can hire a guide at the entrance to learn more about its fascinating history. There’s also a nice kiosk and café on site.

These ruins were buried by the eruption of the Thera volcano and later abandoned after a devastating earthquake. Excavations are still ongoing, and with each discovery, more of this ancient jewel is revealed. Walking through the site, I could almost imagine myself living within the walls of its rich history. It’s truly a cultural must-see!

An excellent and unique experience only Pompey can match it. Well explained and clear insights into a very ancient civilisation.

Absolutely amazing prehistorical geological site. If you love history, you will be in heaven. We learned amazing facts about the artistry and intelligence of the Minoan society while visiting. It was calm and quiet when we were there and so helpful to have it covered. Go early and take your time. Let yourself absorb the energy of the site. Highly recommend.

Beautiful place, respectful and kind servise, central location in the town. 10/10 experience.

The perfect stay in the center of rhodes. Close to everything and with an amazing view. Clean and perfect service!!!

Lovely privste courtyard. Quirky rooms. Very clean on arrival. Very close to restaurants and bars.

Ancient & Unique palace in the heart of old town , Rhodes.Great hospitality suggested !!

Best experiance ever! Host is super and the place is awesome!

Amazing hidden gem inside the walls of the Medieval Town of Rhodes!

Amazing host and Vila

Beautiful when seen from afar, not a good place to be at all. Water is almost muddy from all the SPF, lots of rocks, no free zones, everything is occupied and overcrowded. Not sure how this place is promoted as one of the best in Rhodos

The bay is beautiful and worth a visit, but here are a few points to keep in mind so you can make the most of your time here: the sun beds are very expensive, up to 5x more than in other beaches around the island. You can, however, avoid them if you bring your own beach towel, but then you should arrive no later than 11:00 (in July/August make it 10:30), as the beach itself is very narrow and mostly taken by the expensive sun beds, so finding a spot might be tricky. Even though the bay is beautiful, for snorkeling you will find it is not as clear as other beaches around the island. The bay can be accessed by boat, car or public transport, and there is a paid parking facility in the premises.

Amazing and historical beach. Arrive early to be able to get access to the sun lounges as it is a small beach with a limited number. The water is beautiful and the view is stunning.

Nice for a bath or drink. The water is not so clean and the sunbeds cost 60-100eur.

Really nice place, it's quite expensive but a real treat with comfy sun loungers and drink service to you lounger... They also drive you on a golf buggy across to Lindos

Amazing beach with the best food view and pricess

There is a 60+ EUR fee for sunbeds. Yes it might be too much when you think you usually pay nothing or less across other Greek islands/beaches but it’s definitely worth it. And when you think about it, it’s not even too much. The staff is friendly (like always) and you get good service (like always).

Was roughly a 10minute walk from the top of Oia, there is seats along the way down to help rest if needed. Once at the bottom you will see restaurants, if you continue going left the path continues and you will be able to find a little cove of crystal clear water.

A quaint port with some lovely restaurants and spectacular views. Access via the road is easier than the steps but not as pretty. The walk up is gruelling but you can get a donkey! Don't make my mistake and wear flip flops! Trainers or walking shoes will make the walk much easier.

One of the highlights of the island! The steep hike up and down is worth it, the restaurants lining the water, the beach and the block to jump off of. A must!

Tough walk in the heat but well worth it. Stunning secluded bay with lovely places to eat and drink. No surprise it’s expensive to sit down and eat. Make sure you’ve got water for the walk back to the top😅🇬🇷😎

We rented a boat and went over to Amouthi Bay. Such a fun experience! The views are so amazing. We ate and shopped. Definitely worth a visit here!

Great spot to watch the sunset , just follow the yellow path through the restaurants once you go down the stairs . A little intimidating walking past several parked donkeys. Do not good you have weak knees or out of shape as there are stairs to climb

An absolute must when traveling to Santorini. absolutely beautiful in all directions. There are a few great restaurants down by the water. The best places to watch the Sunset on Santorini are here.

Santo wines is worth a visit. The staff are smart and professional which goes with the high end ambiance. We had a flight of 4 tastings which each came with cheese and crackery like bread which was amazingly yummy. The views are breathtaking and surreal. A beautiful time was had!

Santo Wines is an absolute must-do in Santorini; the views are truly insane and cannot be beaten. The entire staff was incredibly lovely, helpful, funny, and attentive—making the experience wonderful. Three members of our group enjoyed the wine tasting, which was beautifully presented with a wine book for notes and generous snacks (cheese, meats, fruits, and crunchy breadsticks). My favorites were the white wines and the sparkling rose! The gift shop is great for buying smaller bottles or arranging to ship wine home. Overall, an incredible experience from start to finish. Highly recommended!

The food was absolutely amazing ,fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The wine paired perfectly, and the view of the caldera at sunset made the experience unforgettable. Excellent service, great atmosphere, and truly memorable dining. Highly recommended!

We booked a dinner here, where you’re required to pay €60 upfront per adult, which is later credited toward your meal. Due to weather conditions, we sat indoors, and the venue felt a bit crowded and noisy. The food quality was mixed — the first course was excellent, but the main courses were mediocre and slightly undercooked. We also did a wine tasting, which was enjoyable. However, the main dishes took an extremely long time to arrive. The view from outside the restaurant is truly unique, but considering the high prices, the overall experience didn’t quite live up to expectations in terms of food quality and service.

Great experience. The staff were so knowledgeable; they gave a great explanation about the pairings and the wines. The view is also incredible we spent extra time just looking around as the whole complex is a luxury experience. The shop also had some great finds in it. If your in Santorini its well worth a stop here. Its also much less crowded than some other areas.

The view was beautiful. We tried one basic flight of four wines (2 whites, 1 red, 1 rose). Most of these wines were not particularly drinkable. We also had the flight of 5 premium wines which include 3 whites, 1 red and 1 dessert wine. The three premium whites were all very good. The red was the same wine as the basic flight (neither of us finished it - and we generally enjoy reds). The accompanying plate included cheese, olives, pretzels,a smoked eggplant tapinade. Sorry but none of it was particularly good (especially compared to warm bread and olive oil often served at other wineries). The service was friendly and efficient. The cost was about 100 Euros - and we wound up no finishimg about 4 out of the 9 glasses.

The scenery was incredible!! The service was impeccable from all the waiters and especially from Marios who was our personal waiter. Terrific job!! High quality food and wine. Recommend to make a reservation through their site so you get a front row table to enjoy the views.

Very nice hike but you have to be extremely careful. Luckily there are many points to stop and rest, but some parts feel too close to the cliff to comfort. I guess it also depends on how comfortable you are with heights

Really a great walk. It starts in Fira and you go all the way to Oia. Moderately difficult. I wore good sandals and was fine. You don’t need hiking boots. This is great for kids over 8 so they can use energy. Really amazing views you don’t see anywhere else. Go through several small towns and by the churches. We enjoyed it. Remember to get going by 8:30 or so.

I would give this more stars if not for the huge tourist crowds and the ridiculous prices of the restaurants. The souvenirs were also more expensive than other tourist destinations. But the island is indeed beautiful and the scenery is definitely very photogenic. It gets quite loud and festive in the evening. Good for those who love bustling and busy atmosphere with breathtaking views. For those who like quieter places you can always steer away from the shore into the alleyways where there a small hidden gems.

It was interesting to walk from the cruise ship to the windmills and see the beach areas along the way lined with many restaurants overlooking the sea. Walked thru the narrow streets to get a taste of Mykonos. Just in a few spots the walking paths are narrow and border the sea so be careful. Nice place to visit but not necessarily stay for a number of days.

Mykonos Town in general: I had high hopes of Mykonos, old fashioned unspoilt little white-washed buildings, small narrow cobbled streets, lots of shops and restaurants within, very picturesque, small pretty churches dotted about. Nice harbour surrounded by cafes and restaurants, picture postcard stuff. I was not disappointed in that respect, absolutely amazing and pretty. Sadly, though, this is the town’s downfall and a major problem, as it attracts between 2-5 cruise ships a day during the holiday season. (Speaking to various locals, it appears the island more or less closes down out of season, Nov.-Mar., when the cruise ships stop coming). The thousands of cruisers makes the town very busy, people milling about trying to navigate the small alleyways and streets, and it can get very hot and oppressive. Mykonos has a reputation for being relatively expensive – make up your own mind. The whole town is geared to the cruise ship tourists and maximising their profits, charging stupid money for what is essentially typical holiday nicknack tat. The ‘supermarkets’ (read corner shops) only seem to sell booze, tobacco, toiletries, and crisps – nothing useful to sustain yourself if you were self-catering (there must be something somewhere on the island where you can buy meat and veg etc. but it’ll require a car or taxi as there’s nothing in the capital). Cheap nasty looking bottle of wine? Starts at around € 18.50; anything recognisable is € 30-50. The restaurant prices don’t seem too bad (is that because the cruise lot don’t eat there?), about what you’d expect to pay anywhere else, but where they do get you is on the booze, c. € 10-15 a pint. They typically only sell 33cl bottled beer at € 7-10. Some restaurants are asking € 80-90 for a bottle of wine. Your liver will enjoy this holiday. Another unusual influence is, I would estimate 90% of the restaurants more or less offer the same thing, listing themselves as Greek/Mediterranean/European – basically, Greek. The other restaurants call themselves Italian/Mediterranean/European, a nod to Italian, plus there are literally a couple of hints at Japanese. There is an Indian and a Mexican, half a mile outside the town up the big hill. I was disappointed by the lack of variety. Chinese/Thai? Forget it. I’m not sure I’ve been to any place in Europe that doesn’t have a number of Chinese restaurants. I was told that there are only 30 taxis on the island. They are not short of business. I wanted to book a trip to and from the Indian restaurant 10 mins away. I was told that there was no point trying to book a taxis as there was no guarantee they would turn up. So I booked a private hire to ensure we honoured the restaurant booking, € 72, kerching. I do not think I was being deliberately ripped off. I guess you cannot blame the locals for trying to make a good living, particularly, as in theory they only have 7 months in which to do so, but it’s very sad that such a lovely place – like so many around the world - has been ruined by tourism (driven by greed) and lost most of its authenticity.

Watched the sunset on October 1st. Beautiful view! Got there about 30 minutes before the sunset and was able to grab a great spot on a bench. Lots of people gathered after us to watch the sunset here but there are plenty of spots to sit or stand near the windmills and below them.

Great views, plenty to see and do. If you are taking a cruise it’s a bit of a walk but very doable. There’s a lot to do throughout the walk. Plenty of stores and restaurants along the path.

As i have seen so many windmill pics from different social media, therefore the reality was no more big surprising. However the cute animals from this island made the place become more interesting.

Signature landmark is a must to visit if you going to travel to Mykonos in the first time. Even in summer, it is very windy location. Hence, if you wanna take photos, prepare some hat or tie your hair properly. From this location , it is just a few minutes to walk to Little Venice so plan a whole day here.
