Mykonos is one of the Med’s most desirable beach holiday destinations. Located at the heart of the Aegean amid Greece’s scattered Cyclades islands, its architecture, stellar nightlife and drifts of golden sand make it the envy of the archipelago. Days here are all about sipping cocktails at fancy (and often pricy) beach clubs, or enjoying sandcastles and water sports if you’re travelling with kids. At sunset, the focus falls firmly on Mykonos Town, where the organic jumble of white, cube-shaped buildings is interlinked by flagstone pathways leading to waterfront bars, boutique hotels, Little Venice and the Kato Mili windmills – the latter two of which are this island’s most famous (and photographed) icons.
Whether you’re planning a long weekend, some island-hopping or your very own Greek odyssey, we’ve got you covered for whatever kind of Mykonos holiday you seek with these, our pick of this one-of-a-kind island’s very best places to stay.
