For most people, the choice for their yearly holidays is limited to a specific time of the year — usually in the summer, and particularly in the peak tourist season. Their plans are affected by school programs, company obligations and so on.
But there are also those who have the luxury of making holidays plans, based only on their wishes and desires. In this case, the only limitation for scheduling a dream escape, either on their own or with friends, is the weather. Forget the winter types, the mountain ski lovers or the explorers of the Artic cycle; we are talking about those to whom the word “holiday” identifies to long sunny beaches, aqua sports, sailing around blue waters, swimming, beach partying, trekking, horse riding and relaxing in a spectacular place, cosmopolitan and at the same time authentic, with rocking vibes!
Mykonos is no doubt one of the places that meet all the above standards and much more. Located in the Aegean archipelago, it belongs to a truly blessed part of the Mediterranean Sea, where the climate favors the idea of holidaying in a long period stretching from early April until November. It is a region with mild temperatures that, due to climate change, are slowly rising, extending the summer season, with only a few extreme “episodes”. This year, for instance, the weather was hot, but the temperature never reached the unbearable heights of other countries in the area. Mykonos, along with the rest of the Cycladic islands, is also blessed by the north “meltemi” wind that works almost all through the summer like a natural air-conditioning system! And now, in mid-October, with a daily average of at least 25 degrees Celsius, beaches are still crowded, while in the rest of northern Europe the heaters are already working at full blast!
In addition to the climate issue, an autumn holiday gives one the opportunity to discover beauties and qualities often lost in the summer frenzy. Mykonos may be quieter, but nothing will be missed by the visitor. The island is always in its festive alertness, most of the shops are open, together with fine restaurants, fish taverns, beach bars and clubs, so that every demanding traveler can enjoy the luxury of tranquility in breathtaking surroundings. This is also the perfect time to experience some of the best wellness rituals in specialized centers.
This is why many people find in the Greek Aegean autumn everything they need, regardless of whether they are golden age retirees who love daydreaming by the sea, or ageless digital nomads looking for a top-notch sanctuary that will inspire them to unleash the finest part of their creativity!
