Top Islands to Visit in Greece, Mykonos

Perched within the turquoise waters of the Aegean Sea, Mykonos is one of Greece’s most famous little islands. One of the things I love about Mykonos is that it’s tiny, it’s so small that it can easily be explored in a day or two. It’s the kind of Greek island you visit which has a perfect mix of charm, culture and beautiful views.

Spend the mornings exploring Mykonos Town and the little walkways and narrow streets that are lined with various shops and eateries.For a little art, head over to the Municipal Gallery and the the Rarity Gallery.
After a bite to eat at one of the local restaurants, head over to the Old Port of the city and explore the waterfront. Perched right on the harbour front of Mykonos Town, the Agios Nikolaos Church is typically Greek with its blue dome and white-washed walls. Also look around for Petros, one of the islands most famous residents that can often be found wobbling along the harbourfront area.
Okay, you can’t visit Mykonos without seeing the windmills, it’s easily one of the most iconic and best things to do in Mykonos.Make sure to head to Little Venice for cocktails, especially around sunset.
Mykonos might be a tranquil little Greek gem but it’s also got some wild bars and music to experience. In the day, hop over to Paradise Beach where you can grab some epic cocktails at The Tropicana Beach Club. In the evening, bounce on up to Cavo Paradiso that’s perched overlooking the town itself. Think DJ sets, big crowds and a pool, obviously!

Don’t miss: Within the main town of Mykonos itself, Paraportiani Church is a gorgeous example of historic churches on the island. Well over 500 years since construction commenced, it’s one beautiful church that you can easily visit when on the island.

Another don’t miss: From Mykonos Delos is just 5-8 miles away which makes it perfect for a day trip.Once you’re there, make sure to go for a swim in the islands crystal clear waters and take in a little history by visiting the mythological birthplace of Apollo! Head over to the House of Cleopatra, see the Agora of the Italians and explore the Lions’ Terrace. This island is full of archaeological gems that’ll won’t just impress an underworked archaeologist.
