Our Honest First Impressions of Mykonos Greece 🇬🇷 Worth Visiting?

We're in Mykonos, Greece! We're taking a little mini-vacation from living in Naxos to check out the nearby Mykonos. Mykonos is one of the most popular Greek Islands. It also happens to be very expensive and overcrowded and those are two reasons we've always avoided it. We figured being low season we should finally check out the famous Mykonos.

However, we were wrong. Even late in the season (November), there are three cruise ships in port the day we were there with 12,000 passengers. The old port of Mykonos was very busy with many, many people.

Throughout the video we explore the Old Town Mykonos including the Old Port, the beaches, the cute alleys and walkways throughout the town. We also make our way to Little Venice and the iconic Mykonos Windmills.

We also give a tour of the suite we rented:

Check rates/availability for our room at Little Venice Villa/Suites in Mykonos:

We also discuss the prices we are paying for things like beer and coffee here in Mykonos as compared to Naxos.

All in all we're happy we got to see Mykonos but it's probably not a place we'd come back to.

You two are my favorite! I love that you are more into the local experience and look to be away from the crowds. I wanted to send you a little something to help you grab some moussaka on Naxos 😉. Thanks for sharing. I feel like I’m sitting down with friends when I watch your videos.

Love Greece but love Mykonos too.. the island is gorgeous. Yes it's expensive but you do get top notch services, incredible food and beautiful people.. I'll always go back

[francoisegrawehr]

I am glad I went to Mykonos 40 years ago. That was paradise !

[shanhad]

Ah, Mykonos ~ We were there during high season in 1998, and it was spectacular! I've heard it's changed a bit! Great video, but glad you're heading back to Naxos.

I went to Mykonos on Sept 2023, I absolutely loved it! It is stunning, yes it is pricey, but you can find some gems that are not bad, we found a bar at night that had like $2 -$3 shots and $5-$6 beers, I would love to go back one day. Greece is just gorgeous.

Wow you guys only saw the town and the beach by the town there is so so so much more to see in mykonos best place ever so magical!! Have u been to Zakynthos it's awesome. Too bad u missed all the beautiful beaches in Mykonos

[pennypopandme]

Thank you as always, you always put a smile on my face stuck back here lol .

I recently visited Naxos and Santorini, but did not go to Mykonos. Glad that I skipped Mykonos. Santorini, especially Oia, is gorgeous despite the number of tourists. My partner and I got away from the tourists by staying in one of the cave hotels which offered very nice accommodations, and quietness. Go out in the morning before 10:00, and the evening after 4:00 to avoid cruise ship tourists. Naxos, however, has to be my favorite island. Though there are many tourists in Naxos Town, you can get out of the tourist areas easily to sightsee, hike, visit the many beaches, taste wine and olive oil, etc. It is noticeably less expensive, and a great value.

Great one guys, you may have ruined the stone style walkway secret though! Lol 😂

Thank you for another great video showcasing beautiful Greece and I look forward to the next one!

[stevefraser]

Lovely video. BEAUTIFUL place you are staying. I agree there are many peaceful Greek islands where you get the blue and white beauty. I love Mykonos and much prefer it over Santorini. I like nearby Delos even more.

Have you ever been to Parga...? we love it there just booked our next vacation (our 12th stay ) so you can imagine if we like it there...🧿💙🇬🇷

I visited Mykonos in April. So was not busy like it was during your visit. About half the businesses were closed. Outside of the main summer tourist season there is no night life to speak of. Lots of the businesses preparing for the summer tourist season. I stopped there on a trip around several of the Greek Islands as it provides access to the nearby impressive archeology ruins on Delos Island.

[bronwynbotha]

Did you visit any of the fabulous beaches in Mykonos? So much more to see !

[JohnandCaraRetiredTravellers]

Thank you for bringing us to Mykonos, it is not on our list, we too are not late night party people and love traveling on a budget. Great video!!! ~Cara 💖

[emilyserafamanschot]

We were in Mykonos on a cruise ship in 2006. We also walked the alleys. Yes it was expensive. My husband bought me a ring there, plus we ate lunch overlooking the sea. But we have the memory!

[ErisstheGoddessofmanhwas]

I was in Mikonos 2018 summer and it was amazing. My best trip ever .

[FINEURBANART]

You should take a online look a Skiathos in the north. Very green island with amazing beaches. And there is also Skopelos and Alonissos in 30 Min ferry distance. They are very unspoiled.
