The Greek Islands are beyond incredible, and Mykonos (Santorini's younger, wilder cousin) is truly a special place. We spent five sun-filled days on the island and I've highlighted our favourite places to eat, drink and of course party!
We stayed at
Corfos Hotel this trip, and I previously stayed at
Villa Del Sol - both hotels are beautiful, affordable and in close proximity to Ornos Beach.
If you're planning a trip to Mykonos, plan to
get very, very lost. Mykonos town's labyrinth-like layout was built in order to protect its inhabitants from pirates. But this narrow, pebble-paved maze is a fun one to get lost in - it's bursting with beautiful restaurants and cool shops around every corner. Be on the lookout for detailed silver jewelry and handmade leather sandals. I bought a pair of gorgeous Greek sandals at
Kampanas... they have hundreds to choose from so don't miss this shop!
Our favorite restaurant in Mykonos was
Kostantis - it's on Ornos Beach, and I swear this place has the best tzatziki we have ever tasted... and we sampled
a lot of tzatziki in five days. Other favourite eats include
Kuzina (for the sushi) and
Appagio for the romantic atmosphere.
Our favorite bar was
Interni - it is super expensive so skip dinner and come late for drinks and dancing. We also enjoyed catching the sunset and party at
Scorpios, which is on the other side of the island.
Caprice (on Little Venice) is also a lot of fun for dancing and drinks!
Getting lost in Mykonos Town
If whitewashed villages, tzatziki & feta are your thing... you have to go to Mykonos!
