It's high time we show you the most beautiful hotels and best hotspots on the island.

While strolling through the narrow streets of Mykonos, relaxing by your hotel pool, or celebrating at one of the legendary parties in Mykonos Town, you might recognize some familiar faces. Celebrities often flock to Mykonos in the summer. For example, reality star Kris Jenner, singer and actor Elyas M'Barek, and top model Alessandra Ambrosio have all spent their vacations on this Cycladic island. Are you also considering spending your next vacation on this Cycladic island? Then now I will share the best Mykonos tips for an unforgettable vacation on the star island!

Since Mykonos is no longer a secret tip, you can comfortably reach the island in various ways. Almost all major U.S. airports offer flights to Mykonos, so you just have to board the plane at your local airport to get to the island.

The Cycladic island can also be reached within a few hours by ferry. These depart, for example, from the ports in Rafina or Piraeus. In both cities, buses run from Athens Airport for about €3. At the port, you can book a fast ferry ride for about €50 to €60 or the regular option for €30 to €40. While the regular trip takes nearly four hours, the fast ferry only takes about 2.5 hours. No matter which ship you choose, you are guaranteed a beautiful view of Mykonos and the neighboring islands of Delos, Tinos, and Naxos during the crossing.

To ensure you don't miss any highlights in Mykonos, you should explore the island by rental car. And what better way to cap off a day of sightseeing or beach time? A dinner in a cozy tavern followed by a visit to the island's most popular bars and nightclubs. Keep your eyes open and take center stage - we present to you the hotspots in Mykonos.

The capital and largest city of Mykonos shares the same name as the island itself. Here you will find numerous taverns right at the harbor as well as many bars and nightclubs. If you love long party nights, you should consider staying in Mykonos Town, as you are right in the heart of the party scene. However, if you prefer a more relaxed pace, a walk through the town is also worthwhile: The romantic Cycladic architecture expressed in the island's white, flat houses, along with the narrow, winding streets, surely captures the true essence of Greece! Cozy little restaurants invite you to indulge, and the atmosphere with palm trees, sea views, and a lively vibe promises wonderful evenings.

From Mykonos Town, you can reach one of Mykonos' most famous landmarks, the Paraportiani Church, in just a few minutes' walk. The church, whose oldest chapel dates back to 1425 and impresses with its unique asymmetrical architecture, can only be viewed from the outside due to the risk of collapse - but it is definitely worth it!

In close proximity to the Paraportiani Church is Little Venice, a relic from the time when Mykonos was ruled by the Venetians. Little Venice is one of the most romantic spots on the trendy island of Mykonos. As you walk through the small alleys past the colorful houses, you might feel as though you are actually in Venice. Numerous art exhibitions and galleries also contribute to the special flair of this beautiful place.

The island's landmark is the five old windmills, located on a hill not far from the town. Previously, the mills were used to grind flour and ensure the island's supply. Today, the picturesque sight of these mills is among the main attractions of Mykonos. When you're on the island, a photo of the famous Kato Mili is an absolute must.

One of the most popular excursion destinations on Mykonos is the Armenistis Lighthouse, an architectural gem from the 19th century. Those fit enough to conquer the stairs up to the lighthouse are rewarded with a breathtaking view of the island of Tinos. A little tip: The climb is especially worthwhile in the evening when the setting sun bathes the island in a reddish light.

The Cycladic island is known for its beautiful beaches. The water is so clear that every vacationer is enchanted. Here we present some of the most beautiful beaches in Mykonos where you can swim and relax for hours.

The most famous beaches of Mykonos, Paradise Beach and Super Paradise Beach, are located on the southern part of the island. With their fame, the number of visitors constantly increases, so you should expect many tourists and crowded beach sections. The two Paradise beaches are just right for those who love to party and are not disturbed by the music played by numerous bars along the promenade.

The complete opposite of the crowded Paradise Beach is Agios Sostis in the northern part of the island. This beach can only be reached by car, as there is no bus service here. Once you arrive, you will find crystal-clear water and secluded coves where you can truly unwind. In contrast to the very touristy promenade at Paradise Beach, here you will find only a few taverns, which serve excellent fish and traditional wine. It's best to take your rental car a bit further north on the island and visit the deserted beaches - as the north is rarely frequented by tourists.

In the southeast of the island, you will find another beautiful beach where you can relax away from the crowds - at Kalo Livadi beach, you will encounter families rather than party-goers. Tourists particularly praise the clear, clean water and the great service provided at the beach. Sun loungers and umbrellas are readily available, and food and drinks are served in the nearby restaurants.

What should definitely not be missing from my Mykonos tips? Of course, the incredibly delicious Greek cuisine. In various towns, there are numerous traditional Greek taverns where you can sample a variety of delicious meze.

Especially in Mykonos Town, you will find a wide selection of restaurants for every taste. From sushi to Italian cuisine to vegan delights, there's something for everyone.

Anyone coming to Mykonos must experience the legendary nightlife of this party island. Whether you want to spend the evening joyfully in a bar or want to experience a wild night of partying, on Mykonos, the night turns into day. There are numerous beach clubs and restaurants where you can enjoy delicious food and, above all, great parties. The most famous beach clubs are located on the southwest coast of the island below Mykonos Town.

Mykonos offers the perfect vacation house or hotel for every budget - whether you are looking for peace and seclusion or prefer to stay right in the heart of the party scene.

There are hotels in every price range on Mykonos. If you wish, you can stay in a cozy pension for an affordable price or enjoy a luxurious stay in a stylish 5-star hotel. On this Cycladic island, there is truly a perfect accommodation for everyone.

Don't want to just stay in Mykonos? The Greek islands, especially the Cyclades islands, are ideal for island-hopping as a backpacker due to the good ferry connections. It's best to plan a rough route before your trip and check the departure times of the ferries to your desired islands online so that you can make the most of your stay and transition smoothly. Once there, you will also find many affordable accommodations that won't break the bank. However, you can also take great day trips from Mykonos.
