What unique things are there to do in Mykonos?

Mykonos is one of the most visited Greek islands, and with good reason - there's so much to do. Want to avoid the crowds at the Super Paradise beach? Try Kapari Beach. It's secluded and can't be reached on wheels, but making the trek means you get a beach experience hard to find elsewhere. If you're a morning person, heading to Pagka market in Old Port bright and early can reward you with a unique take on local cuisine. Finally, try Platis Gialos if you're a history buff. With most visitors leaving for the ruins at Delos Island, you can enjoy the Towers of Mykonos, part of a defence system dating back to the Hellenistic period, all on your own. And that's just the beginning: you can always talk to locals at these spots to discover more of the island's hidden gems and less-frequented activities.

Why is Mykonos so famous?

As with many other Greek destinations, Mykonos first entered the limelight after archaeological ruins were found at nearby Delos. Visitors then discovered that Mykonos was more than just a launching pad to get there: it also boasted historic buildings, pristine beaches, and stunning natural landscapes worth exploring. Today, the island is famous for the luxury holiday experience these unique features provide, on top of a modern cosmopolitan feel and hospitable locals who make any visitor feel at home. However, it's probably most popular for one key thing. After the bar Pierro's opened in the 70s, it developed a vibrant nightlife that now rivals Ibiza, so we totally get it if you're booking a Mykonos holiday with us to party!

Is it expensive in Mykonos?

The short answer is yes. After all, Mykonos aims to provide premium experiences, with clubs like Kymbo Mykonos and high-end retailers in Nammos Village attracting many wealthy visitors to the island. Though pricey, a Mykonos holiday is a worthwhile investment if you want a luxurious getaway. The long answer? It depends on how you plan your holiday. Peak season is from June to August, and that means everything will be significantly more expensive. Travelling outside of high season -- in April to May and September to October -- promises similar weather without the crowds, and can make your trip more affordable.
