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.

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.

We went in October, the off season so no lines and plenty of time and space to wander at our leisure. The text panels are in Greek and English. There's plenty of info for what we were looking at. It was a great addition if you do an excursion to Delos island. The person at the desk was very knowledgeable and answered our questions. There are toilets available but they were not the greatest, doesn't matter tho at least they worked.

Wonderful little museum and some very fascinating history on display for Mykonos and the surrounding islands. My only reason for not giving it 5 stars was because there was an over abundance of similar exhibits (would be nice to have a little more variety) and the toilets were missing seats in the bathrooms.

I was looking forward to visiting the museum. However, upon arriving, I realized that it's only a little museum with exhibits of the same variety (vases mostly). I was a bit disappointed to be honest. 3 stars because the info tablets were nicely done and informativ and some the exhibits were really interesting. It would have been nice though to have more information about the island's history in the context to the exhibits or maybe also as a stand-alone. That would have been very interesting!

It's a quiet and little museum to be fair. Only costs 4 euros for entry and has lots of items to see, and well worth the time. Beautiful objects of art. Great if you are having a short stay but if you have been to Delos island you might be a little underwhelmed by the museum and what it has to offer.

Cute little museum. They had a nice exhibition with old pictures of the excavations. And nice objecten to accompeny them. Wich gives a nice double lagering on history. Would have been nice if some of the objects in the basel exhibition got more context tho.

Only 5 euro or 3 for seniors in October to March Not a lot of exhibits

Definitely worth visiting if you are spending some time in Athens. Loads to see and very well laid out. Nice cafe too, but shop was closed unfortunately

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.

What lovely waters! The beach is simply magical, with crystal clear waters and very comfortable sunbeds to enjoy the sun. A real gem.

Unique experience in Agia Anna! From the cleanliness of the beach to the quality of the people and the excellent service in finding a sunbed, everything was perfect. We will definitely come back again.

Our favorite Beach in Mykonos… crystalclear blue water, amazing view and nice music from the Beach bar on the Side…. We were there twice because we loved it so much! Highly recommened!!!!

The best service we’ve received on the island! The staff at Agia Anna are so polite and always smiling. And the beautiful, serene sea makes it the ultimate spot to unwind.

Perfect spot great location right nrxt to beach with chairs. Good food & bar always available. You can walk to Scorpios. The family everyone is very kind & helpful. Dimitri & Nico & girls behind the bar all awesome! I would definitely return

120 euros for an umbrella for two ppl Crystal clear water High quality service

Nice clean beach, great sunbeds and parasols, looks well maintained, with plenty of room to move around and have access for a swim, the water is super crystal clear, cool and fresh. Great chill out music good vibe and atmosphere. Sunlounges a pair, with towels, go from Front row €100 to last row €40, (everywhere on the island is about this much) . Lunch was very tasty and good, we had ceasar chicken salad, and the beef tacos, everything was fresh and well presented.

Really enjoyed my dinner here last night with friends. Staff were very friendly and my Gyros was delicious. Served with a cooked tomato which was yummy. Reasonable prices and food delivered to the table very quickly.

Absolutely fantastic experience at Niko’s Taverna! We had dinner here while visiting Mykonos Town (Chora), and it was one of the highlights of our trip. The service was warm, friendly, and incredibly attentive. The staff made us feel right at home. The food was absolutely amazing, as they were fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Every dish tasted authentic and full of that classic Greek charm. Prices were very reasonable for Mykonos, especially considering the quality and portion sizes. We actually ate there twice in a row, if that says something. Highly recommend Niko’s Taverna to anyone looking for great food, great people, and an authentic local experience!

Overall, a pleasant experience. A nice authentic feel, a busy environment. We both opted for steaks which were cooked well. Only thing I'd say is that although lots of staff were on duty, it took a while to attract their attention when ordering and asking for the bill.

Nikos Tavern was delicious and just what we were looking for! Lots of different options, seafood and meat beautiful dishes, vast menu from Greek traditional cuisine beautifully cooked and presented.Great staff and quick friendly attentive service. A must visit!

If you want to eat excellent Greek food and drink a good wine with a fast and friendly service from the waiters this is the best place, the prices are even low considering the quality of the food that are simple fantastic. We eat all over the world and for sure this is a restaurant to return. We went 2 times and in the first time they even sing happy birthday for my partner with a cake and a candle. Amazing food and at least for us low price and high quality.

3.3/5 stars • Pesto pasta 3/5 • Carbonara 3.5/5 They will bring bread and water to the table. Both of them come with a charge. Remember that. It’s pretty good food, I would not say to skip it, but I would say there’s better places around. Portions are very fair, better than others and prices are better than others as well.

Nikos Taverna offers affordable prices, but the overall experience was just okay. The staff weren’t very responsive and it felt like just another table to fill. The food quality matched the price, average, nothing particularly memorable. It’s fine for a quick, budget-friendly meal, but don’t expect much more.

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.

this place is great, has a chill vibe that keeps progressing as the day goes on. most of the afternoon was chill lounge music, you talk to the person next to you and still hear them. then around 4:30-5:00 it gets more hyped up like a traditional beach club. for the sunbeds, it's $50 per person with $80 minimum spending per person. the drinks average about $20-$25 as expected for a beach club, the food was great, worth the money. it's expensive but worth it. the service was fantastic

Kalua Beach Bar Mykonos: A Vibe Like No Other! If you’re looking for the perfect blend of beachside relaxation, electrifying energy, and mouthwatering food, Kalua Beach Bar in Mykonos is the place to be! From the moment you step onto the sand, you’re immediately embraced by the island's vibrant and carefree atmosphere. The vibe at Kalua is like nothing else on the island. During the day, it's the perfect spot to kick back and enjoy a cold drink while soaking in the sun. But as the sun sets, the energy shifts. The place transforms into a lively hotspot with the rhythm of music filling the air, creating an irresistible party vibe. The music is upbeat, setting the tone for an unforgettable evening. The food is just as impressive as the vibe. Whether you’re in the mood for a light bite or a full-on feast, Kalua delivers! Fresh seafood, delicious Greek dishes, and tasty cocktails that perfectly complement the beach setting. The portions are generous, and the quality of ingredients speaks for itself — everything tastes as good as it looks. But what truly sets Kalua apart is the live entertainment. The singer is a fantastic addition, with a voice that’s both captivating and energizing, creating an ambiance that has you swaying to the tunes. And don’t get me started on the dancers — they absolutely own the stage. With their lively choreography, they bring the place to life and get everyone on their feet, dancing along to the rhythm. Would definitely go there again.

It looks lovely, the sea is really cold so not great for cooling down. It starts to get lively about 5pm so not great if you are on a cruise & need to get back.

Kalua has the perfect balance of Mykonian energy and relaxed island charm—sunbeds that invite you to linger all day, music that slowly builds until the whole beach is alive, and food that honestly surprised me with its freshness and flavor. The atmosphere felt effortlessly vibrant, not forced, and the staff made everything flow with a smile, even when the place was full. By the time the sun dipped into the Aegean and the crowd was dancing barefoot in the sand, I knew this was one of those rare spots that delivers the full Mykonos experience.

Whoever they have as live singer needs to be fired immediately, was the reason we left early. Not 18+, beside another beach club with kids everywhere, and Kalua itself is kid friendly…sorry no one wants to be at a beach club in Mykonos with kids around. The party starts at 5, so before then it’s really just a regular beach. Terrible service, very hard to get anyone’s attention. Food I will say is good, but 100000% not a reason to go. Dont waste your time and energy here.

Really fun day and experience but all the negative reviews about the servers sneaking in tip without telling you is unfortunately true. We had a great day, service was good, the burger was amazing, and the vibes were fantastic. Our server was Nick. As we paid he showed me the amount and it was correct, he never gave me the option to tip but then as I was about to tap my card I noticed (from reading the numbers upside down since he was trying to hide the amount from me) that the total was different. I called him out on this and he said he added on tip. He would have never told me unless I noticed. I was going to tip him anyway but the way he snuck it in there and tried to get me to not notice was just slimy.

We had an absolutely fantastic time at Kalua Beach Club! The location is breathtaking – crystal-clear water and a stunning beach setting that felt like paradise. The service was excellent, and the staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and brought such a great vibe to the place. The food was very good – not mind-blowing, but definitely enjoyable – and the price-performance ratio was absolutely fair in my opinion. What truly made this experience unforgettable was the atmosphere. The music, entertainment, and overall energy were just perfect – hands down one of the best vibes we experienced in Mykonos. Highly recommended – 100% worth it!
