It’s mid-October and huge cruise ships from distant destinations keep arriving at the port of Mykonos. The weather is summerish, with plenty of sunshine and temperatures rising at an average of 26-28 (even 30) degrees Celsius. Great opportunity to explore the stunning sandy beaches that get extremely crowded during the high season. At this time of the year, it is wise to go for a shorter swim —since the air is fresher now— and spend the rest of the time touring this spectacular island that never loses its upbeat and explosive energy.

Among the thousand attractions one can enjoy in Mykonos, three are the ones that will make you want to come back every year: its amazing coastline, its rocking nightlife, and the great food!

There are hundreds of restaurants on the island to cater for even the most extreme culinary requirements of travelers. From exclusive restaurants serving the latest trends of the international cuisine, to small family-run seaside tavernas serving fresh fish or the famous Greek tradition of souvlaki “centers” offering this extravagantly delicious lunch or dinner in hand, Mykonos is a home of top gastronomy.

Walking through the picturesque cobblestone streets of Mykonos Town, the air is filled with the tickling smells of freshly baked bread, local herbs and food baking in the locals’ houses. Let yourself indulge in this mouthwatering experience and before leaving Mykonos, make sure that you have tasted the best local delicacies, such as:

Louza: made from fine pork filet, it is a type of sausage and a great appetizer to accompany ouzo, raki, or wine.

Kopanisti cheese is one of the 3 types of cheeses made in Mykonos, It is a spicy goat milk cheese with a rich texture, usually used as a snack, spread on bread or rusk with extra virgin olive oil, oregano, and tomato

Xinotiro: its name means sour cheese and it will remind you both of Greek feta and Kopanisti. The fact that it is left in the sun to dry for long makes Xinotiro perfect for pasta dishes.

Onion pie (Kremidopita). Made with sweet onions, local aromatics, the local cheese Trivolia (soft, white cheese), and extra virgin olive oil, it is a top delicacy.

Kalathaki is a mouthwatering sweet almond cake present in almost every Mykonos tradition, like weddings and christenings.

Especially during the summer don’t miss the opportunity to join some of the many tasting tours, like wine tastings at traditional farms, sailing cruises with local food tasting, cooking classes, theme tastings with Greek ancient varieties, fish or BBQ picnics on the beach, and many more food and culture tours!

From explosive firework-laden club experiences to 5-star dining and exclusive live music bars, the nightlife of Mykonos is reason enough to travel to Greece during the summer. The world-famous rocking energy of the island starts building up since late May and reaches its peak between August and mid-September, establishing Mykonos as a top party destination along the Mediterranean coastline.

Known for its LGBTQ+ friendliness since the 1960s, long before the term even came into common use, this incredibly beautiful island of the Aegean archipelago is a haven for international music enthusiasts and free spirits.

Alongside destinations like Monte Carlo, Ibiza and St Tropez, Mykonos has been one of the international jet-setters favorite spots since the 1950s. Greek tycoons like Aristotle Onassis with Maria Callas and Stavros Niarchos, Hollywood stars like Marlon Brando, Grace Kelly and Richard Burton, worldwide celebrities like Jackie Kennedy and the “melancholic” Princess Soraya, were frantically chased by paparazzi around the narrow alleyways of the island’s town, as the once unknown island progressively gained its glittering identity with each passing summer.

Party vibes all day, everywhere!

Mykonos is both the inventor and embodiment of the party-vibe concept. In fact, the music and dancing here never stop. With the exception of a short pause between 8 am and 12 noon, when its happy visitors are soundly asleep, the beat at the beach-bars operating in almost all organized, sandy beaches, goes up from noon till after sundown. From then on, the parties are transferred to the live music bars of Little Venice and the nightclubs hosting nightly events featuring international DJs on the decks — many of whom also organize lively events on the beaches during the day.

It is advisable that visitors keep an eye on Mykonos’ event calendar, as parties and events are literally everywhere! There are all-day parties taking place in private villas, sunset parties, dawn-break parties, yacht-parties, and the story goes on. Just name your wish and see it happen. For instance, you can join a late afternoon yacht cruise, having on board one of the local top chefs who will craft for you a starry menu on one of the secluded and tranquil beaches. Alternatively, you can participate in one of Mykonos’ “panigyria” – local festivities of religious origin, where everybody is more than welcome to stay up all night dancing to the sounds of traditional instruments, drinking and indulging in barbecued pork chops!
