Searching for things to do in Mykonos<\/strong> always yields the same results: parties, windmills, and overpriced beaches. We spent three nights on the island at the end of June, rented a car, and drove around the entire island, from the windy north to the coves in the east. And we’ll tell you one thing: Mykonos is much more than its reputation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In this guide, we\u2019ll share the 20 places we liked the most, along with one, two, and three-day itineraries, a map, where to sleep, where to eat, and all the practical details to organize your trip.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=\u00bbads iati primeros parrafos 5off (2026) – EN\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_module=\u00bb15677″ saved_tabs=\u00bball\u00bb locked=\u00bboff\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

1. Chora, the most beautiful town to see in Mykonos<\/h2>\n

Chora (or Mykonos Town) is the heart of the island and the number one reason to stay here rather than at an isolated beach: a maze of cobblestone streets, white houses with blue doors, and bougainvillea hanging over the walls. We got lost several times and it was amazing.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.recalculandoviajes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/chora-capital-de-mykonos.webp\u00bb alt=\u00bbchora capital of mykonos\u00bb title_text=\u00bbchora capital of mykonos\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

The trick is to go twice: in the mid-morning, when the cruise ships haven’t arrived yet and the streets are empty, and after 7:00 PM, when it cools down and the lights come on. The main streets are Matogianni and Enoplon Dinameon, but the charm lies in the side alleys, where locals still live, and you can see clothes hanging between white walls. And cats everywhere.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.recalculandoviajes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/mykonos-chora.webp\u00bb alt=\u00bbmykonos chora\u00bb title_text=\u00bbmykonos chora\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

\n

Good to know:<\/strong> Chora is almost entirely pedestrian. If you go by car, leave it in the free parking lot next to the Old Port and walk in. We did this for all three days and never had a problem.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb4_4″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

2. The Kastro neighborhood, the most photogenic corner<\/h2>\n

Kastro is the oldest part of Chora, occupying the headland between Little Venice and Paraportiani Church. It\u2019s named after the medieval Venetian castle that once stood there, of which almost nothing remains except for the layout of the small streets, which are narrower and twistier than the rest of the town.<\/p>\n

It is, without a doubt, one of the top things to do in Mykonos that is most Instagrammable, and it holds the most beautiful streets on the island: Agias Paraskevis, Mitropoleos<\/strong>, and the alleys that wind down to the sea between whitewashed houses with colorful shutters. It is also where the designer shops and galleries are, which stay open until well past midnight.<\/p>\n

Our advice is to explore it before 10:00 AM. At that hour, the cruise ship crowds haven’t landed yet, and you can walk without dodging groups. After 11:00 AM, it becomes a parade.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.recalculandoviajes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/chora-kastro-mykonos.webp\u00bb alt=\u00bbchora kastro mykonos\u00bb title_text=\u00bbchora kastro mykonos\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb4_4″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

3. The Kato Mili windmills, the postcard of the island<\/h2>\n

The seven windmills lined up on the hill are the image we all have in our minds when we think of Mykonos. They are a five-minute walk from Little Venice and can be seen from half of Chora.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.recalculandoviajes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/que-ver-en-mykonos-molinos.webp\u00bb alt=\u00bbthings to do in mykonos windmills\u00bb title_text=\u00bbthings to do in mykonos windmills\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

They were built between the 16th and 18th centuries, when the island’s economy relied on milling wheat brought by ship. They don’t function today, but they still stand, white with straw roofs, enduring the wind that never stops. We went up at sunset and it was packed: if you want a quiet photo, go at 9:00 AM; there was no one around.<\/p>\n

\n

TIP:<\/strong> from the windmills, you get the best panoramic view of Little Venice. It\u2019s the perfect spot to understand the geography of Chora in two minutes.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.recalculandoviajes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/molinos-kato-mili-mykonos.webp\u00bb alt=\u00bbkato mili windmills mykonos\u00bb title_text=\u00bbkato mili windmills mykonos\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb4_4″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

4. Little Venice (Alefkandra), the best sunset<\/h2>\n

If there is one corner of the island that we absolutely loved, this is it. Little Venice is a row of 18th-century houses built directly on the water, with painted wooden balconies hanging over the sea. When the waves are up, the water splashes the tables at the front-row bars.<\/p>\n

It is, by far, the best place to watch the sunset. We arrived an hour early, sat on the stone wall, and waited: the sky turns orange behind the windmills and the sea fills with reflections. One of those things that makes the trip worthwhile. Many travelers recommend booking a table at the taverns with terraces over the water, which fill up starting at 7:00 PM in high season, but the stone wall is free and the view is exactly the same.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.recalculandoviajes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/pequena-venecia-mykonos-little-venice.webp\u00bb alt=\u00bblittle venice mykonos\u00bb title_text=\u00bblittle venice mykonos\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb4_4″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

5. Panagia Paraportiani Church<\/h2>\n

It is the most photographed church in Greece and is located right at the entrance to the Kastro neighborhood, on the way to Little Venice. Interestingly, it\u2019s not just one church: it is five chapels built on top of and around each other over several centuries, and the result is a white, irregular shape that looks hand-sculpted.<\/p>\n

It has been whitewashed so many times that the edges have softened, and the walls look rounded. At noon, the white reflects so much sunlight that it\u2019s hard to look at it head-on; we saw it late in the afternoon and it looked spectacular. The interior is almost never open, so the visit is limited to the exterior: five minutes, but it’s one of those essential things to do in Mykonos that you cannot skip.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.recalculandoviajes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/iglesia-panagia-paraportiani-mikonos.webp\u00bb alt=\u00bbpanagia paraportiani church mykonos\u00bb title_text=\u00bbpanagia paraportiani church mykonos\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb4_4″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

6. The Old Port and the church of Agios Nikolaos<\/h2>\n

The Old Port is right behind Little Venice and is, for us, the most authentic area of Chora. It\u2019s a small, crescent-shaped bay where colorful fishing boats still dock and where fishermen sell the catch of the day at an open-air stall.<\/p>\n

On the pier stands the chapel of Agios Nikolaos of Kadena<\/strong>, dedicated to Saint Nicholas, the patron saint of sailors: bright white, with a blue dome and the size of a single room. It is one of the most iconic images of the island and sits at water level, so it photographs perfectly. Across from it, you\u2019ll see the two-story Town Hall building with its arches\u2014the only building in Mykonos with a tiled roof.<\/p>\n

It is one of the things to do in Mykonos that you will definitely pass by: from this pier, boats depart to Delos, and water taxis go to the southern beaches. On one side is the free parking lot we used for all three days, so you’ll definitely be passing through here.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.recalculandoviajes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/puerto-viejo-mykonos-iglesia-agios-nikolaos.webp\u00bb alt=\u00bbold port mykonos agios nikolaos church\u00bb title_text=\u00bbold port mykonos agios nikolaos church\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb4_4″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

7. Boni’s Windmill and the Agricultural Museum<\/h2>\n

Walking up a steep hill from Kastro, you reach Boni’s Windmill, the windmill that is separate from the Kato Mili group and today serves as the headquarters for the Mykonos Agricultural Museum. You can tour its three floors to see the milling mechanism inside.<\/p>\n

\n

We didn’t go inside, as we aren’t big on museums unless they are essential, but many travelers recommend it for this very reason: it is the only place where you can understand how the island functioned before tourism. Hours are limited and seasonal, so it’s best to confirm them on the day.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

What is worth it in any case is going up for the view. From here, you have the highest panoramic view of Chora, with the Kato Mili windmills, Little Venice, and the sea all in the same frame, and it is a much less crowded alternative for watching the sunset. If you prefer to watch it with a drink in your hand, many travelers choose the 180\u00b0<\/em> Sunset Bar, which is a few minutes’ walk away and has a panoramic terrace; be aware that there is usually a minimum consumption.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=\u00bbads iati Middle seguro de viaje (2026) – EN\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_module=\u00bb15701″ saved_tabs=\u00bball\u00bb locked=\u00bboff\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

8. Petros, the pelican who is a local resident<\/h2>\n

This is one of those stories that makes a place stay with you. In 1954, a Mykonos fisherman found an injured pelican after a storm, nursed it back to health, and the animal stayed to live on the island. They named it Petros (stone, in Greek), and for over thirty years, it wandered around the port and the taverns like another local, until it passed away in 1986.<\/p>\n

The locals didn’t give up: they managed to get another pelican and gave it the same name. Today, there are several scattered around the island and they all respond to Petros. Legend says that crossing paths with it brings good luck and ensures you return to Mykonos.<\/p>\n

We weren’t lucky: we spent three days and didn’t see it once, so apparently, we aren’t coming back, haha. It is usually seen around the Old Port, along the Gialos promenade, and sometimes inside a tavern as if it owned the place. If you find it, keep your distance: it\u2019s an animal, not an attraction.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

9. Armenistis Lighthouse, the alternative sunset<\/h2>\n

Armenistis Lighthouse is at the northwestern tip of the island, about 10 kilometers from Chora, and was built in 1891 after the sinking of the English ship Volta in 1887. It is still in operation and is one of the few corners of Mykonos without any shops or beach bars.<\/p>\n

We didn’t make it there, but many travelers point to it as the best viewpoint among all the things to do in Mykonos: from the cape, you can see the entire channel and the neighboring island of Tinos across the way, and at sunset, the sun drops directly into the sea with nothing in between. The road itself, through barren hills and stone walls, makes the trip worthwhile.<\/p>\n

Good to know:<\/strong> you can only reach it by car, motorbike, or quad, and the final stretch is an unpaved road. There is no bus. If you go at sunset, calculate the return trip in the dark along a narrow, unlit road.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.recalculandoviajes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/faro-armenistis-mikonos.webp\u00bb alt=\u00bbarmenistis lighthouse mykonos\u00bb title_text=\u00bbarmenistis lighthouse mykonos\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb4_4″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

10. Ano Mera and the Panagia Tourliani monastery<\/h2>\n

Ano Mera is the only town in the interior and it\u2019s the other side of the island: no luxury shops, just a shaded square and taverns where locals eat. It is about 8 kilometers from Chora and we got there in ten minutes by car.<\/p>\n

In the square, you\u2019ll find the Panagia Tourliani monastery, founded in 1542 by two monks and renovated in the 18th century. From the outside, it is impeccably white, with a carved marble bell tower and a red dome that breaks with the usual blue of the Cyclades. Inside, it has a 1775 wooden altarpiece made by Florentine artists and a small museum with icons and religious artifacts.<\/p>\n

It usually opens in the morning and again in the afternoon, with a midday closure, and admission is free (the museum may have a nominal fee). Hours vary by season, so it’s best to confirm on the day.<\/p>\n

\n

In our case<\/strong>, we stopped here on our way to the eastern beaches and it was a technical stop: look around a bit and have lunch. Few cruise passengers, elderly women chatting in the square, and delicious food at a normal price. One of the things to do in Mykonos if you want to see something different from the postcard.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.recalculandoviajes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/mykonos-ano-mera.webp\u00bb alt=\u00bbmykonos ano mera\u00bb title_text=\u00bbmykonos ano mera\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=\u00bb1_3,1_3,1_3″ admin_label=\u00bbads FILA 3 imagen EN\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_module=\u00bb16396″ saved_tabs=\u00bball\u00bb locked=\u00bboff\u00bb collapsed=\u00bboff\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb1_3″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.22.2″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.recalculandoviajes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/travel-insurance-discount-iati.webp\u00bb alt=\u00bbtravel insurance discount iati\u00bb title_text=\u00bbtravel insurance discount iati\u00bb url=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.recalculandoviajes.com\/iati-seguros-en\u00bb url_new_window=\u00bbon\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb border_radii=\u00bbon|20px|20px|20px|20px\u00bb box_shadow_style=\u00bbpreset1″ global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\u00bb1_3″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.22.2″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.recalculandoviajes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/booking-genius-discount.webp\u00bb alt=\u00bbbooking genius discount\u00bb title_text=\u00bbbooking genius discount\u00bb url=\u00bbhttps:\/\/recalculandoviajes.com\/booking-off\u00bb url_new_window=\u00bbon\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb border_radii=\u00bbon|20px|20px|20px|20px\u00bb box_shadow_style=\u00bbpreset1″ global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\u00bb1_3″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.22.2″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/recalculandoviajes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/internet-esim-Holafly-OFF.jpg\u00bb alt=\u00bbInternet eSIM – Holafly Discount\u00bb title_text=\u00bbInternet eSIM – Holafly Discount\u00bb url=\u00bbhttps:\/\/recalculandoviajes.com\/holafly-off\u00bb url_new_window=\u00bbon\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb border_radii=\u00bbon|20px|20px|20px|20px\u00bb box_shadow_style=\u00bbpreset1″ global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb4_4″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

11. Panormos Beach, our favorite in the north<\/h2>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.recalculandoviajes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/playa-panormos-mykonos-panormos-beach.webp\u00bb alt=\u00bbpanormos beach mykonos\u00bb title_text=\u00bbpanormos beach mykonos\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

Panormos is on the north coast and was the first beach we stepped on after dropping off our bags. It is a wide bay with golden sand and transparent water, featuring a couple of beach bars and plenty of free space to throw down your towel without paying a dime. The north is known for being windy due to the meltemi, which is more noticeable here than in the south: we had a calm day and the water was very still, but it\u2019s a gamble. If it starts with strong wind, change your plan to the south and you’re good to go.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.recalculandoviajes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/panormos-beach-mikonos.webp\u00bb alt=\u00bbpanormos beach mykonos\u00bb title_text=\u00bbpanormos beach mykonos\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

TIP:<\/strong> there is a dirt parking lot next to the beach and it\u2019s not hard to find a spot if you arrive before 12:00 PM.<\/p>\n

12. Agios Sostis, the wildest beach<\/h2>\n

A kilometer and a half from Panormos is Agios Sostis, a smaller and completely unspoiled cove: no sunbeds, no umbrellas, no beach bar on the sand. You walk down a path from the road and have to bring your own water and food.<\/p>\n

We didn’t go down\u2014we spent the whole day at Panormos\u2014but many travelers point to it as the most authentic beach on the island for that exact reason: because there is nothing there. Above, next to the chapel that gives it its name, there is a tavern popular among locals that usually operates only in summer and cooks over charcoal, although it isn’t always open.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb4_4″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

13. Agios Stefanos Beach, the most comfortable<\/h2>\n

Agios Stefanos is Mykonos’s city beach: it is about 4 kilometers from Chora, next to the New Port, and is the easiest to reach without a car. In fact, there is a direct bus from the Old Port almost every hour until midnight in summer.<\/p>\n

It is a family-friendly beach with calm, shallow waters, plus taverns and sunbeds at much more reasonable prices than in the south. It isn’t the most spectacular, but what we liked most was the sunset: since it faces west, you see the sun setting between the ferries arriving and departing from the port. A half-hour, free plan.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.recalculandoviajes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/playa-agios-stefanos-mikonos.webp\u00bb alt=\u00bbagios stefanos beach mykonos\u00bb title_text=\u00bbagios stefanos beach mykonos\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb4_4″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

14. Ornos Bay, the most practical beach in the south<\/h2>\n

Ornos is a sheltered bay only 3 kilometers from Chora, with the sea almost always calm because the wind hits it from the side. It is the most \u00abeveryday\u00bb beach: families, people going to eat, moored boats, and a promenade with taverns right behind the sand. It is also the starting point for water taxis that connect the southern beaches (Paranga, Platis Gialos, Paradise). If you didn’t rent a car, it\u2019s a very convenient way to hop from beach to beach without relying on the bus.<\/p>\n

\n

We used it as a base for dinner on the second night: you can eat well, with less of a flashy vibe than in Chora, and it’s one of the things to do in Mykonos where you can still feel some local life. We practically ate on the beach under a spectacular moon!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.recalculandoviajes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/bahia-de-ornos-miconos.webp\u00bb alt=\u00bbornos bay mykonos\u00bb title_text=\u00bbornos bay mykonos\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb4_4″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

15. Paranga Beach, one of the essentials in Mykonos<\/h2>\n

Paranga is the beach that best balances the two souls of the island. It\u2019s split in two: the north side with music and a beach club from mid-afternoon on, and the south side, which is much quieter, with rocks and turquoise water where you can swim without the bass thumping in your chest. We spent almost a whole day there at the southern end, where there is free sand to put your towel down without renting anything: you have services a hundred meters away but you get to choose how much you pay.<\/p>\n

Good to know:<\/strong> from Paranga, there is a coastal path that follows the cliff and takes you walking to Platis Gialos on one side and towards Paradise on the other. It\u2019s a 15-20 minute walk with sea views the whole time, making it one of the best short hikes on the island.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.recalculandoviajes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/playa-paranga-mykonos-paranga-beach.webp\u00bb alt=\u00bbparanga beach mykonos\u00bb title_text=\u00bbparanga beach mykonos\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb4_4″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

16. Platis Gialos and Agia Anna<\/h2>\n

Platis Gialos is one of the largest and most organized beaches in the south: a very long strip lined with sunbeds, with hotels and restaurants right by the water. It is comfortable and well-connected by bus from Fabrika, but it is one of the most expensive and crowded in July and August.<\/p>\n

Right next door, separated by a rocky point, is Agia Anna: a much smaller cove with a couple of fish taverns and significantly fewer people. We walked there from Paranga, and the difference in atmosphere between the two, despite being only 300 meters apart, is enormous. If you are traveling with family or on a tight budget, our recommendation is clear: look at Platis Gialos, but stay at Agia Anna.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb4_4″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

17. Paradise and Super Paradise, the party beaches<\/h2>\n

We cannot talk about what to visit in Mykonos without naming them. Paradise and Super Paradise are the beaches that gave the island international fame: beach clubs with DJs, parties that start at 4:00 PM and go until the early hours, and sunbed prices that can range from 25 \u20ac to over 100 \u20ac depending on the row and the season.<\/p>\n

\n

We aren’t really party people, so we stopped by one afternoon just to see them, took a dip in the water, and left. It\u2019s good to have done it: the scene is impressive even if you don’t stay until 4:00 AM. If that is your plan, staying in the area makes sense, and there are buses that return to Chora until very late in the summer.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.recalculandoviajes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/que-ver-en-mykonos-paradaise-beach.webp\u00bb alt=\u00bbthings to do in mykonos paradise beach\u00bb title_text=\u00bbthings to do in mykonos paradise beach\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb4_4″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

18. Agrari Beach, the hidden gem of the east<\/h2>\n

Agrari was our pleasant surprise of the trip. It is on the southeast coast, between Elia and Super Paradise, in a cove surrounded by barren hills accessible via a narrow road. It\u2019s one of those things to do in Mykonos that almost no one includes on their lists.<\/p>\n

The sand is coarse and golden, the water is transparent and somewhat cool, and although there are sunbeds, the prices are reasonable and there is plenty of free sand left. There is a tavern above with a view of the entire bay. We spent the whole day there and left with that feeling of having found something special.<\/p>\n

\n

Good to know:<\/strong> the left side of the beach is a nudist area. It is marked and nobody bothers anyone, but it\u2019s worth knowing if you are traveling with family.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.recalculandoviajes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/playa-agrari-beach-mykonos.webp\u00bb alt=\u00bbagrari beach mykonos\u00bb title_text=\u00bbagrari beach mykonos\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb4_4″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

19. Kalo Livadi, the longest beach on the island<\/h2>\n

Kalo Livadi is a fine sandy strip of nearly a kilometer, with turquoise, shallow water, ideal if you are traveling with children. It is 2 km from Ano Mera, so it is easy to combine it with the monastery on the same day.<\/p>\n

It has all the services but with a much more relaxed atmosphere than the southern beaches and significantly lower prices. There are two parking lots, and you can also leave the car on the access road. We used it for a half-day plan: water, lunch facing the sea, and then move on.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.recalculandoviajes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/playa-kalo-livadi-beach.webp\u00bb alt=\u00bbkalo livadi beach\u00bb title_text=\u00bbkalo livadi beach\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb4_4″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

20. Lia Beach, the clearest water<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.recalculandoviajes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/lia-beach-mikonos.webp\u00bb alt=\u00bblia beach mykonos\u00bb title_text=\u00bblia beach mykonos\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

We close our list of things to do in Mykonos with the beach with the clearest water on the entire island. Lia is at the southeastern tip, at the end of a road that seems to lead to nowhere, which is why it receives much fewer people.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.recalculandoviajes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/mykonos-lia-beach.webp\u00bb alt=\u00bbmykonos lia beach\u00bb title_text=\u00bbmykonos lia beach\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

It is a sheltered cove nestled between rocks, with sand mixed with pebbles and a bottom that you can see clearly at several meters depth. If you bring a snorkel mask, this is the place: we floated for a long while and didn’t want to leave. There are a couple of taverns and sunbeds, but no direct bus, so you reach it by car, quad, or water taxi from Elia. That extra effort is what keeps it that way.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.recalculandoviajes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/que-ver-en-mykonos-lia-beach.webp\u00bb alt=\u00bbthings to do in mykonos lia beach\u00bb title_text=\u00bbthings to do in mykonos lia beach\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb4_4″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.24.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

The best beaches in Mykonos according to your plan<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Beaches are half the answer to what to see in Mykonos, and choosing poorly can ruin your day: there are coves without a drop of shade, beaches where the music never stops, and others where the bus doesn’t reach. This table summarizes the ones we visited and the ones many travelers recommend, so you can choose based on what you are looking for:<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.6″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

TIP:<\/strong> access to all Mykonos beaches is free and open. You only pay if you want a sunbed and umbrella, and the range is huge: around 25 \u20ac at beaches like Kalo Livadi or Agrari, and 50 to 200 \u20ac at trendy beach clubs in Paradise, Paranga, or Psarou.
