Mykonos Town – My Advice

• Mykonos Town is ideal for travelers who want access to the island’s best nightlife, dining, and shopping. As the transportation hub of the island, the village makes a fantastic home base for exploring Mykonos’ legendary beaches and the archaeological site at Delos Island, as buses and boats depart frequently throughout the day and night, especially in the high season.
• All of the most popular Mykonos beaches are a short bus ride (10 to 20 minutes) from the Mykonos Town bus stations at Fabrika (in Chora) and the Old Port.
• Mykonos Town is one of the most popular destinations in Europe. Book hotels 4 to 6 months in advance.

Staying in Mykonos Chora

Chora is the general name for Mykonos Town, but here it will refer to the pedestrian-only heart of the village. Chora’s maze-like streets contain the highest concentration of great restaurants, incredible shopping, lively bars, and nightclubs. Its famous Little Venice neighborhood boasts amazing sunset views from the restaurant and bar balconies, built into converted 18th-century fishing houses. The Kastro neighborhood is the oldest in the village and home to Paraportiani Church, one of Greece’s most famous churches, dating back to the 15th century. The most recognizable landmarks are the “Kato Mili”, the remaining 5 and a half windmills from a 16th-century flour mill. The main bus station at Fabrika connects Chora to the New Port, Airport, and several of the island’s best beaches: Agios Ioannis, Ornos, Platis Gialos, Paraga, and Paradise. Chora is a great choice for those who want to be near all the action, but it definitely can get crowded and noisy at night.

(Hotel phone: +30 22890 24670)

Staying at the Old Port

The Old Port is a less crowded neighborhood of Mykonos Town than Chora, though there are still plenty of great restaurants, bars, and nightclubs to visit into the wee hours. Streets in the Old Port are generally wider and less tangled than those in Chora, with more open spaces between buildings. There is a small, sandy, swimmable beach with a lifeguard here; it’s not the best beach on the island and there are no umbrella rentals or beach service, but it’s great for a quick dip. Many of the bars, restaurants, and hotel rooms in the Old Port face north or east with gorgeous views of sailboats and ships on the Aegean, but they don’t have sunset views. However, excellent sunsets can be seen here at Boni’s Windmill, the oldest windmill on the island, and at 180˚ Sunset Bar on a hill overlooking the village. Mykonos’ main bus station is at the Old Port with connections to Tourlos (New Port), Ana Mera Village, and the following beaches: Kalafati, Agios Stefanos, Kalo Livadi, Elia, and Panormos. The Sea Bus (water taxi) also stops here before connecting to Tourlos and Delos Island. Much of the Old Port is pedestrian-only, though there are a few busy driving roads passing through. The Old Port is an ideal spot for those who want a balanced mix of partying and relaxing.

A buffet breakfast is included in the price, and the owners go above and beyond to be helpful. (Hotel phone: +30 22890 22330)

Staying at Megali Ammos

Megali Ammos is the closest real beach to Mykonos Town, with golden sand and clear blue water, but it can get pretty windy here. The beach is about 500 meters south of the Chora, with most hotels situated on the hill above the beach, about .5 to 1 km to town. There are a handful of great restaurants in the area, but most of the best dining and all of the nightlife and shopping will be in Mykonos Town about a 10-minute walk away. Much of the walk to town is along a busy road with no sidewalk: totally doable, but don’t try it in high heels. There are a couple of unofficial bus stops in front of some of the main hotels in the area (Tharroe, Boheme, and Absolut) with buses connecting Mykonos Town (at Fabrika bus station) to Ornos Beach, Platis Gialos Beach, and the Airport. Most hotels here offer free shuttle service to town and all have free parking lots onsite. Hotels here tend to have a romantic, resort-like feel to them, with gorgeous pools, sunset views, and excellent restaurants and bars onsite. Megali Ammos is a fantastic option for those who prefer a more relaxing, pool/spa getaway with occasional access to nightlife and shopping. All that said, if you’re in Mykonos primarily for the beach then best to stay at Ornos Beach, Platis Gialos Beach, Psarou Beach, or Agios Ioannis Beach.
