In this blog post, we will be discussing five tips for making your trip to Mykonos unforgettable, so keep reading!
Choose Your Accommodation Wisely
The first tip we have to ensure an amazing vacation in Mykonos is to choose your accommodation wisely. Mykonos is a fairly small island, which means that there are limited accommodation options. With that being said, you need to book early to avoid missing out on a place to stay, and before booking, be sure to read reviews carefully online to find a place that is the perfect fit for you. There are lovely beach and resort villas that you can investigate that have lovely proximity to the buzz of the island as well as beaches, which makes these accommodation options attractive to many travelers.
Rent a Car or ATV
While on the island, you will need a way to get around. You will spend a lot of time moving around on foot, but for longer distances, you should avoid public buses on the island as these tend to be scarce and unreliable. Instead, you should consider renting a car or an ATV, as this is the best way to get around and explore the island at your own pace. Even better, you could opt for private transfers, which you can learn more about here. The chauffeur service will meet your needs on-call or at your disposal.
Visit the Beaches During the Week
One of the main attractions on Mykonos Island is its wonderful and world-famous beaches. Everyone who visits the island has plans to lay on the beach and marinade in the sun, which is what you will want to be doing as well. With that being said, the beaches can become quite crowded on weekends and holidays, so if you do plan a beach day, plan it on a weekday instead to get a beach that’s less crowded and more enjoyable. Some of the best beaches in Mykonos include Platis Gialos Beach, Ornos Beach, Psarou Beach, and Paraga Beach to name just a few.
Explore the Island
Of course, you cannot visit Mykonos without taking the time to explore the island a little bit. This island is more than just beaches and bars; you should take the time to visit several attractions that are worth the time to see, including the old port of Mykonos Town, which is a port that transports you back in time with streets that narrow and winding and buildings that are whitewashed. You can also visit the Mykonos windmills, which have been around for as long as the 16th century, the Paraportiani church, which is a lovely medieval church, and Little Venice, which is dubbed the most romantic place on the island. There is plenty to see, so get ready to put your tourist hats on when visiting the island.
Try the Local Food
Last but not least, you must be prepared to try the local food when visiting this beautiful island. The cuisine in Mykonos is fresh and mouth-watering, and when you visit this island, be sure to try some of the local foods. We recommend trying kopanisti, which is a delicious type of cheese; dolma, which is stuffed vine leaves; and louza, which is cured pork. You should also wash down your food with a lovely glass (or bottle) of local wine.
Mykonos has earned its title as one of the most beautiful and exciting islands in the Aegean Sea, and if you want to travel there to experience it for yourself, there are some tips you can adopt to ensure that your time there is as amazing as possible. You want to choose your accommodation wisely, rent a car or ATV, visit the beaches during the week and not the weekend or holidays, explore the island, and finally, try local cuisine.
