One of Mykonos top landmarks, always full of people so I decided to wake up earlier and be there around 6:15 am for sunrise. You can see the results, not a single person did so and I had a lot of time to change my spots and play with sun. Go there between 6:00 and 6:30 and skip the crowds and boring daily photos with tens of other people. I am not a photographer, I just wanted to try my luck to wake up earlier and every day there were not a single individual. And those mills are simply stunning

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.

Visted in mid October, the weather was great. It was interesting to see the difference between the renovated windmills, and those being worked on.

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.

A wonderful beach with crystal clear waters. Lots of space for your own towels and beach umbrellas. The beach is compact which is nice. There’s a great bar in the middle that serves traditional Greek and international food and drink. The boats are parked far enough for you to enjoy watching them but still have plenty of room for swimming. Probably one of our favourite beaches on Mykonos. The water is crystal clear with no corals or rocks. Very family friendly.

One of the most gorgeous beaches ever visited in Cyclades and definitely my No 1 in Mykonos island. The vibes are unmatched, the clarity of the water is immaculate. Must visit

This was a nice beach, best part was that it was walking distance from my hotel. The Free section of the beach was in the middle (basically where I would go) and the section with the umbrellas and beds you had to pay for. Water was nice and fresh and the weather was great for it being early September.

Most beautiful blue water I've seen (I've seen many) bring your money, a lot of it, you'll need it in that neighborhood

Went to this beach on October 1st so it was quieter than it probably would be during prime beach season. Beautiful scenery with crystal clear water. There were a few options for sun-beds from different beach front restaurants ranging from €50 per pair to €240 per pair of sun-beds. You could bring your own towel and save some money. Highly recommend this beach!

My favorite beach, with the crystal blue water that contrasts so beautifully with the wild landscape of the island.

Public beach that is located right next to Nammos. So you can hear the music without being deafened by it which is nice. It wasn't as packed as we thought considering we were in high season. We found 2 sunbeds on the front row although we arrived around 4. Sunbeds are 20 euros each which is decent. There's a beach taverna and bar that serves a variety of different dishes to suit everyone's taste, but they don't serve tothree sunbeds. You have to walk up the stairs and get your food and drinks. Bathrooms are very clean which was great. Beach is gravelly so no soft sand. All in all a pleasant experience. Quite picturesque as well

I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The location is absolutely perfect — right by the sea with a beautiful beach just a few steps away. The view from my room was stunning, especially during sunset. The staff were all very friendly, helpful, and made me feel truly welcome. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything I needed. I also loved the breakfast — fresh, tasty, and with lots of local options. The atmosphere was so relaxing; it’s the perfect place to unwind and enjoy the sea. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a peaceful seaside getaway. I can’t wait to come back!

My wife and I plus some friends visited this beach club just for the day and we had a blast. Beach was beautiful, views were amazing, and food was delicious!

We stayed at Paradise Hotel Beach, but unfortunately the experience was disappointing. The service was not friendly or high quality, even though we paid a lot. The room was not clean, and the food was also a letdown – they served us old French fries. On the beach, the sunbeds cost 25–35 €, which felt very overpriced. Overall, we were not satisfied with our stay.

The only reason why you should go here is if you love bad and loud music. They try to be like Ibiza but lacking the good music/dj's. You can eat on property but after 4pm you can not talk to each other anymore because of the music. Wifi in the room is bad, 2 stripes at most. Construction on site starts at 8am. The food on site is ok. Breakfast was good with plenty of choices. During dinner several choices were not available anymore because apparantly season is over in 20 days. So very limited options. Using the beach means using the hotel beds which costs you 25/35 euro per bed per day. Beach is not sandy but grit/stones. Bring shoes. Rooms are fine. Every day cleaned. Shower was old. Toilet kept on running and after showering the whole floor is wet due to the short shower curtain. Some of the staff are friendly, others dont even bother to reply goodmorning. There is nothing to do close by. The local bus is one way to get to the city. Costs 2 euro which is very nice. Only sad part was a group of Italians fighting to get in the bus. This happened a lot according to the local store owner. On the beach expect to be harrassed in the afternoon by the guys almost forcing you to go to the club. The trip downtown was nice for the views and some local food. If you dont like mass tourisme then this is not the place to be. Everything is well overprised and expensive. All together, this was not a repeatable experience. My recent stays in Colombia, Aruba and Egypt are all way better. We wont come back to Mykonos.

The rooms were quite small but tidy. Be warned that the beach chairs are not included and cost $25. Overall was a fun experience!

Pricey but beautiful beach with good drinks, experienced bar tenders, attentive wait staff and lots of cabanas and loungers to hang out. You can do some shore snorkling and scuba diving as well!

This is a great place to stay in Mykonos, the location is superb as it is right on paradise beach with a restaurant and shop onsite, and of course paradise beach club. The rooms are very basic, but spacious, and it’s all you need when you’re right on the beach (unless you plan on spending time in the room). The bus stop to head to Mykonos town is right across from paradise beach hotel, super easy and buses run every 30 minutes, bus ride is about 10-15 minutes to get to Fabrika (Mykonos town). There is also a mini market right across the hotel where the bus stop is. Stayed here a few years ago and stayed here a second time, would stay again when I’m back to Mykonos. It’s close to Tropicana beach club as well, so you can hover between the two.

Make sure you take notice of your flight departures and boarding times, as they don't usually announce the flight boarding at this airport. It's a tiny airport with 3 gates all together in one place. Small duty free shop and few food options. Food prices at airport are much more expensive than in town. Options are limited especially with hot foods. Coffee and drinks are available. Custom was quick though, maybe because it's not a high season and wasn't crowded.

The unique European airport that its facade respects the traditional architecture & local Myconian morphology of Cycladic civilization in highlighted aesthetics and it's not industrial like all the rest airports of the world. In 2017, Fraport Greece gave it's new face-lift and expansion. It's small inside but with very fast check-in & security services. It was built during late '60's to serve the island's THEN- GROWING TOURISM.

It s a litlle bit small but a great airport with amazing food and coffee You should try pret a manger

Beware, doesn’t allow digital boarding passes and doesn’t have machines to print boarding passes. You 100% will have to wait in line for a paper boarding pass. Prepare to lose all conveniences technology has created, this airport is incredibly poorly managed.

The airport is small which makes it easy to navigate, however, some departments are not as clear, such as gate 5a & 5b and 6a &6b. A lot of people were confused where to check in and signs were not very clear. Staff when going through security were kinda rude. My mother who was a bit confused about something has one of the men on the gate snapping at her. I understand it's a stressful job, especially coming from someone who works with people, but that was very out of order... For myself, my possessions where flagged up when going through the scanner, which started to stress me out as I had a lot of medication on me. I had my doctors notes and everything I needed, but they failed to inform me it was a random check, and spoke to me and my family like we did something wrong, despite being compliant. I will give my stars to the man doing the check, who was friendly and put me at ease. When I said I had my doctors notes, he informed me then that it was just a standard check. I'd appreciate if staff can take note of this error, politeness and the ability to communicate what the check is for can really defuse situations. Please do this in future.

My experience at this airport was surprisingly poor. Check-in and boarding felt disorganized, and several staff interactions came across as rushed and dismissive. When I asked for help, responses were abrupt and unhelpful. The overall atmosphere felt chaotic and unsupported, which made the entire process stressful. Travelers deserve clear communication and basic courtesy—this airport has a lot of work to do.

Small airport but perfect for an island like Mykonos. It follows the Greek theme and has sufficient amenities including WiFi . The staff were friendly, and the car rentals, ATM machines were conveniently located near the exit.

As the “best” attraction in Mykonos, not really as good as expected. It doesn’t look that appealing when seeing it in person.

The Panagia Paraportiani Church in Mykonos is a beautiful example of traditional Greek architecture whitewashed, simple, and very photogenic. Unfortunately, it was closed when we visited, so we couldn’t see the interior. The surrounding area was charming but could have been better maintained.

Maybe I should read more history to get to know this church.

Located at one edge of mykonos, next to the old ruins of the castle, is this small beautiful church. Magical and very romantic.. came almost sunset, enjoyed the beautiful view as well..

Arrive here early before the crowds. Then walk the trail from Fira to Oia. You don't have to go all the way, just as far as you feel good. Amazing views!

Very nice little church sitting at the edge with space around it. There is also a very nice corner where you can climb down a bit to reach some rocks if you want to take very nice pictures with the sea as your only background. When we were there, we saw smashed glass bottles and some other trash, so junkies or homeless people might have been there.

Charming church where sunset could be a delight. It’s a picturesque spot with ample amount of hidden treasures. It might get a lot crowded during evenings but there is a lot of space to sit and chill. The walk to this place is just around the corner and it’s a lot less noisy than the little Venice part of the town.

We visited the Monastery of Tourliani on a quiet Sunday afternoon in mid-June and were pleasantly surprised to find only a handful of other visitors, allowing for a peaceful and reflective experience. One of the most memorable details was the abundance of fresh basil plants arranged throughout the outdoor spaces. Their fragrant aroma welcomed us as we moved through the grounds, adding to the serene and contemplative atmosphere of the site. The monastery's museum was a highlight, offering insight into the site's rich history through a thoughtfully curated collection of artifacts. The exhibits are displayed behind glass in well-maintained, air-conditioned rooms—providing both educational value and a welcome break from the summer heat. The admission fee was modest and clearly contributes to the care and preservation of the property, which is kept in pristine condition. A small gift shop at the conclusion of the visit offered a selection of meaningful souvenirs. Overall, the Monastery of Tourliani offers a tranquil and enriching cultural experience, well worth a stop for those exploring Mykonos beyond its beaches.

A stunning little monastery with artefacts dating back more than 400 years. Free entry to look around and clean public toilets available for 1 euro.

The monastery is from the 15th century and is absolutely beautiful. Highly recommend you visit. There are currently only two Monks living there.

Lovely small monetary with delightful church. Unfortunately it is suffering with loads of tourists being dumped in the village. If it was quieter it would be a pleasant visit. €2 entry

Very nice monastery in the heart of Ano Mera. There is an entrance fee of 2€ so don’t forget to bring some coins otherwise you won’t be able to enjoy this wonderful place and its museum. Calm place to have a walk and enjoy the peaceful silence. Don’t skip this place when in Ano Mera or passing by.

Beautiful monastery and museum of historical Church relics. The tree in the courtyard was half fig and half blueberry.

It’s a monastery with a beautiful view of the surroundings . The church though small is engaged in community service and has a welcoming atmosphere. There is a museum too.

Even though we visited at late lunch hour, the place was full. We seated at the bar first but shifted to indoor table later. Everything was nice, and our favorite dish was a risotto. Every plate was presented nicely, the idea of playing with the color made each dish fun and exciting.

Kastros was hands down the best dining experience my wife and I had in all of Greece, across every island we visited. The view alone is worth the visit. Every dish we ordered was outstanding. We started with the moussaka sphere and a salad with goat cheese, both beautifully presented and full of flavor. For our mains, the slow-cooked beef lemonato and the orecchiette pasta were amazing. The atmosphere is relaxed yet refined, with attentive service and an unbeatable backdrop. This was without question our favorite restaurant of the trip, and one we’d recommend to anyone visiting Mykonos.

I have nothing but positives to say about this restaurant. This was more than a meal, this was an experience. We booked here to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary and cannot fault this place. Fantastic service, amazing food (we had rack of lamb and sea bream, followed by baklava and lemon cream for dessert) supported by the best seats in the house to enjoy our meal by sunset. Cannot recommend highly enough.

The restaurant is laying at the end of Little Venice. When your on the balcony you see the sea and the windmills. The food and the service is great! You can see the employees working as a team and they enjoy there jobs!

Very nice restaurant. View of balcony is super. Go around sunset time. And be sure to make reservation couple days earlier. Food is good, wines are wide variety. Owner Alex is nice man. Smiley and talkative. He is also generous and hospitable.

We got lucky and had a balcony, an amazing experience. Note: cost included 2 glasses of wine each and appetizers. The food was fresh and tasty. Only issue with seating selection was too much sun…..

One of the best restaurant on Mykonos, we came 2 times during our trip. Absolutely blown away with taste and quality of ingredients. Never tried better linguine with sea food in my life! Top of the top!

Got a late night pork gyro here. The pita isn’t the biggest but they fill it with a decent amount of meat, especially compared to other spots, and it was one of the better gyros we’ve had in Mykonos. Reasonably priced

It was 10 years ago we first came to this lovely shop for gyros. It was just amazing and today we came back to this shop again, and we were able to take another picture with the wonderful owner again. I hope to see you again! τα λέμε την επόμενη φορά!

Jimmy’s Yiros dishes up tasty, well-priced gyros right in the heart of the Mykonos buzz, great experience, just shy of the island’s top spot. A proper Mykonos staple and a great spot to grab a quick, satisfying meal in the middle of all the action. Food (4/5): The gyros were tasty and well put together, fresh, flavourful, and nicely portioned. Not quite the best we had on the island, but definitely up there. Service (4.5/5): Quick, friendly, and efficient. They know how to handle the constant flow of customers without missing a beat. Atmosphere (4.5/5): Right in the middle of the Mykonos bustle, which gives it great energy. It’s lively, a bit chaotic in the best way, and adds to the experience. Value (4/5): Prices are fair for Mykonos, nothing cheap, but definitely reasonable considering the location and quality. Overall: A great place to soak up the lively Mykonos vibe while enjoying a solid gyros. Not quite the best on the island, but a reliable, flavourful feed worth stopping for. Rating: 4/5 ⭐️ Tasty, fun, and fairly priced, an easy recommendation.

Super fast service and some of the best prices on the island (you can eat a gyro for 7 euro). The food is pretty good and it’s nice how quick the service is. Moderate small tables and stools to eat at. Great for groups of 1-3

Food are nice, we had pita giros and baklavas. Pita giros is really tasty 🤤🤤

Great street food and lives up to the hype. We had a gyro, beers and a burger. All delicious and reasonable for Mykonos. Service was top notch!

Really nice to sit outside. Great to find a reasonably priced gyro in Mykonos! Try the lamb sesh gyro for sure.

It was such a nice experience and the food is amazing. I especially recommend the lamp chomps and pasta with salmon and spinach-those pastas were 12/10🫨 Service is a combination of Humor and kindness. You not only want to stay longer but also chat with the personal. I can only recommend visiting this restaurant a few times while staying in Mykonos.

Lovely, quaint restaurant with great service. This restaurant retains its heritage and delivers exceptional food and service! If you’re looking for a homely restaurant with a great range of authentic food items, this is the place for you! Thank you to the servers who went above and beyond, and to those in the kitchen who delivered one of the best dishes I’ve ever had! I highly recommend the broccoli with garlic as a side dish as it was phenomenal. My partner recommends the special of beef orzo stew! 👍🏼

We visited Mykonos for 4 days and ate lunch or dinner at Nikos Gallop each day. We loved the people, atmosphere, and food so much!! What a great establishment. Nikos was recommended by our hotel. Thank you to the Nikos Team for helping to make our stay in lovely Mykonos an experience we will treasure. ❤️ Thank you!

We found this lovely local restaurant near our hotel in Mykonos. The food was wonderful, the portions were huge, and the staff was super friendly. It was kinda loud with the chatter inside and road traffic noise, but we had a great meal. We ordered the salt-crusted seabass and didn't expect it to be delivered in flames then carved tableside! It was an impressive show and the fish was moist and delicious. I highly recommend it. Other great dishes included the dolmas and the fried cheese - those toasty little triangles were so incredibly yummy.

Beautiful family-run taverna with authentic Greek atmosphere. Fresh seafood, generous portions, and warm service. Loved the salt-crusted fish – highly recommend!

What a wonderful experience. The restaurant was very close to our hotel, excellent food, and the staff was great. It is a great place to dine if you are in Mykonos. We got gritted by the owner Nikos, who open the restaurant 42 years ago. Thank you!!!

Very lovely place for dinner. The food was delicious. The service and ambiance was on point. Prices are reasonable. Skip the Old port and just look for one of those little gems. We will be back!

During our five-night stay in Mykonos, we dined at M-eating Restaurant on two separate occasions—and both visits were memorable. The cuisine is of exceptional quality, thoughtfully prepared with evident attention to detail. While the prices were somewhat higher than anticipated, the overall experience justified the cost. Our first meal was enjoyed indoors, while on our second visit we opted for the outdoor patio. Each setting offered its own unique charm and atmosphere. The restaurant was bustling both nights, creating a lively yet welcoming ambiance, enhanced by the friendliness of fellow diners. Service was consistently excellent; the staff were courteous, attentive, and well-informed about the menu. M-eating is certainly a standout dining experience in Mykonos.

We had a fantastic evening! Great food, great wine and a beautiful setting! What more can one ask for..Thank you very much to Konstantina and her team for making it even more special with their thoughtful service. I would highly recommend M-Eating Restaurant!

So this was an otherworldly ride through culinary art. From the scallop appetizer, cheese trilogy, to the main course - both Nanzel and I had two different fish and both tasted amazing. It's very difficult to describe, you simply have to taste it and pair it with the Biblinos rose wine. I definitely recommend it

The M-eating restaurant here in Mykonos was just amazing! From the moment we sat down we could sense that we were in for a treat. My partner and I even fell in love with their choice of dishes on the table. But the food was all so wonderful. After we ordered everything that we wanted. Our waiter said “That is quite a lot of food, maybe save some for another day.” But my friend said we are only here just the one day and we so wanted to try as much as we can. In the end we did not finish everything we had ordered. But wow did she and I give it our best try. Given another day on the island we would choose you guys again. Thank you so much.

Nice Resturant with outdoor seating. Service was quick and friendly. Got the focaccia to start, which was warm and fluffy - but was missing the salt and rosemary usually found on focaccia. We ordered the steak which was cooked well, but we found that the smoky flavour overpowered the actual flavour of the steak. The fish fillet however, was very nice, and was accompanied with a lovely sauce.

The food is delicious, the staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is simply great, both in the terrace and in the courtyard inside. Highly recommended for a night out in Mykonos.

perfect experience!! the food, environment and staff are amazing! i would recommend the goat cheese trilogy with tomato marmelade for starters and the sous vide lamb for a main. DELICIOUS! my family and I went there, and back the other day! such a great restaurant! the second time around, I ordered a chickpea salad with homemade chicken sausage, and it was delightful!
