Mykonos Holidays

from £ 254 pp

With dazzling beaches and parties to rival Ibiza, holidays to Mykonos serve Greek island charm with a sprinkle of glam.

Two halves of a whole Island

Loved by the world's glitterati since the 60s, Mykonos has long been Greece's place to see and be seen in. There are glamorous beach clubs and deluxe boutiques, but that's not all. To the north are unknown beaches, family-run tavernas and waves made for watersports.

Sun, sand and surf

The lively crowds tend to keep to the southern beaches and luxury nightclubs, but Mykonos offers much more than this. Nearby, Plati Yialos, Elia and Ornos are dotted with sunloungers and lined with family-friendly tavernas. To the north, breezy Ftelia cove's a must for surfers.

After the sun sets

Known as one of Greece's party capitals, the island's southern coastline comes to life as the sun dips. As well as the super clubs, there are seafront bars to spend your evening in. An eclectic food scene has appeared in Mykonos Town, including Matsuhisa – the world's only open-air Nobu restaurant.

Top Destinations

Mykonos Town

Holidays to Mykonos Town can be as lively or as chill as fits your fancy, with no shortage of world-class beaches, scenery, shopping and nightclubs.
Plati Yialos

Holidays to Plati Yialos invite visitors to indulge in a full-service beach and top-notch restaurants, all with a view of the rolling Greek hillsides.
Agios Ioannis

Holidays to Agios Ioannis are all about lazy afternoons on the beach, lively nights at the local bar and unforgettable sunsets in between.
Kalo Livadi

Holidays to Kalo Livadi provide a quiet beach setting among pastoral hills, not too far from the bright lights of Mykonos Town.
Tourlos

Tourlos holidays combine small-village life and marina bustle – explore golden-sand beaches and dine on Greek cuisine in waterfront restaurants here.
Ftelia

Holidays to Ftelia are ideal for peaceful days filled with sandcastle-building, windsurfing and beachcombing, just a stone's throw from Mykonos Town.

Pick a beach to suit your mood

She might be small compared to some of Greece's other islands, but Mykonos has her fair share of beautiful beaches – 25 to be exact. Sleepy coves are hiding in the north, and you can head south for lively drinking holes along the shore.
The big beach

A favourite with sun-worshippers by day, Super Paradise starts buzzing with a party spirit well before dusk. Expect to rub shoulders with millionaires and the odd celeb in swish cocktail bars. Dance the day away with the sand between your toes at a bash on the beach.
The secret beach

For less party and more peace, head north to the hidden beach of Agios Sostis. Accessed via a rocky path, it's an arc of golden sand washed by the azure Aegean Sea. The cherry on top is its panoramic view of rolling hills that fall away into the tranquil ocean.

Bargain Buys

A five-minute drive from Kalo Livadi are the whitewashed walls and cobbled streets of Ano Mera. The aroma of fresh bread drifts from bakeries selling tempting sticky treats. Every Sunday, the main square transforms into an open-air market, where stalls are stacked with local cheeses and colourful knick-knacks. Brush up on your bartering skills to get an authentic taste of local life.
Mid-Range Buys

The island's Little Venice is the place to go for leather accessories, low-key fashion boutiques and costume jewellery. There's also a smattering of traditional souvenir shops, so you can pick up an evil-eye glass charm to help you out if you're down on your luck.
Designer Buys

To really treat yourself, pop into the designer shops along Mykonos Town's Matogliani Street. Or, head to Mavrogenous Street for a one-of-a-kind art piece to bring home. Jewellery fans will be in their element, too, with a wide range of little workshops selling intricately crafted bespoke pieces.

Laid-back evenings

With its waterfront bars that like to play it cool rather than loud, Little Venice is a favourite with the in-crowd. There's a pick of tavernas and cafés, as well as postcard-perfect views of sherbet-coloured seafront townhouses. Order something refreshingly fizzy and get your camera ready for sunset.
Lively evenings

During summer, the island doesn't sleep. Bass begins thumping at beach parties in the late afternoon and doesn't stop until the sun rises. Mykonos Town's got a couple of clubs and queer-friendly venues, but the life of the party's found in the beachfront super clubs. Expect to be dancing until dawn to live music from local DJs and internationally known stars.

Gyros

A Greek take on kebabs, gyros are flatbreads wrapped around spit-roasted pork, juicy tomatoes and onions. They're finished with creamy tzatziki sauce, and you'll often find a few chips inside too.
Fasolatha

A national dish that's veggie friendly, Fasolatha's a hearty white bean soup. Simple but packed with the flavours of Greece, it's made with crushed tomatoes and seasoned with thyme and bay leaves.
Galaktoboureko

Sniff out your local bakery to try these sweet custard slices, made with flaky filo pastry and dusted with cinnamon – best eaten fresh from the oven.
Loukoumades

These sticky doughnut-like balls are fried, covered in honey and topped with cinnamon or walnuts. They're served piled high in a big dish – because one's never enough.
Tsipouro

After dinner, do as the locals do and order Tsipouro instead of ouzo. Similar to Italy's grappa, this boozy tipple's been around for centuries and might just knock your socks off.
