The Mykonos shortlist
- Mykonos Town windmills & Little Venice — free, best at sunset when the windmills silhouette over the water.
- Delos island boat trip — the sacred-island archaeological site is a 30-minute boat from the new port; morning departures.
- Paradise & Super Paradise beach clubs — daybeds price by season; the free stretches of sand sit either side of the clubs.
- Ano Mera village & monastery — the quiet inland village and the 16th-century Panagia Tourliani monastery.
- Catamaran sunset cruise — the signature island format; the caldera isn't here, the sunset and swimming stops are.
Flying in, Mikonos Airport (JMK) serves the city — attraction districts sit 30–60 minutes away at typical city speeds.

Frequently asked questions
What is the number one thing to do in Mykonos?
Mykonos Town windmills & Little Venice — free, best at sunset when the windmills silhouette over the water. Start there, then build the itinerary around it.
Do I need to book Mykonos attractions in advance?
The headline attractions reward advance booking — timed-entry systems and quota tickets mean walk-up availability is worst exactly when you want to visit. Everything on this page links to providers showing live availability.
How many days do you need in Mykonos?
Three to four days covers the shortlist above at a humane pace for a first visit; add days for the day-trip formats rather than compressing the city itself.
Is a city pass worth it in Mykonos?
Run the arithmetic honestly: a pass wins when you would genuinely visit three-plus ticketed attractions in its window. Our provider links show pass options side by side with single tickets — compare before committing.
