We had a half day with Nicholas and Claudia and we had a ball!
The communication from the initial booking right up until we arrived was first class.
We sailed along the coast and got a real look at the Beaches and coastline that you don't always see and in perfect weather conditions! I am not a great sailor but the trip was as smooth as silk and I never felt uneasy! Everything had been thought of from the delightful food, wine and other refreshments they served - even suncreams were provided in case you have forgotten your own and a spritzer to cool you down! During the trip we were able to talk to Nicholas and Claudia a little about the island and learn more about Mykonos- they were friendly but not intrusive - perfect.
At the end we were able to stop offshore from Kalo Livadi and go off the boat for a swim whilst being served beautiful fresh fruit. What more could you ask? We had a great time - thank you!

This lighthouse is NOT in Mykonos town and you need to take a car, scooter, or 4 wheeler to get there. Its easy to get lost. You will be rewarded with incredible views. The wind if very strong here so be prepared. Well worth the stop.
3. Mykonos Catamaran Sailing Cruises

The top excursion in Mykonos! Alternative, unforgettable sailing tour from Mykonos on a stable and safe catamaran. Sail to the surrounding Islands of Delos & Rhenia. Swim and snorkel in the fantastic turquoise waters of the Aegean Sea, away from the crowds! Outstanding service, delicious mediterranean cuisine cooked on-board. Real sailing, a lot of fun in the sun... Chill out on our catamaran!

We went out this June privately with Mykonos Catamaran - for just myself, my husband and our 18 year old daughter. We chose the sunset sail - and were picked up by a private driver at our hotel at 3:15 PM and returned at about 9:00 PM. The catamaran is large and luxurious. We felt incredibly pampered.
We were taken to a beach on a small island, where we were able to get out and swim to shore. We also sailed closely by Delos, which was incredible and lovely. The only down side was that our crew had not been on Mykonos long - and they did not know much about the history of Delos - so they couldn't tell us much about the island or what we were looking at. I asked about a few sites and buildings that we could see from the catamaran - but they said they had no idea. Still, it was something to see, even from the water. I'm sure you could learn a lot by taking a tour of the island. However, I have also heard that it can be hot and dusty and without any shade - so seeing it from the water had it's perks as we drifted along in the cool sunset with a nice breeze. Should we return to Mykonos - I would do the same catamaran again - and I would also do the walking tour of Delos as I'm sure it's fascinating.
The two member crew could not have been nicer! They allowed us to determine where we wanted to go and what we wanted to do and if we wanted to swim or sail.
And the dinner, which was expertly cooked for us on the boat - was out of this world! We all loved everything. There was enough food for 20 people easily! So many different dishes to choose from! As I've stated in other reviews - we love the tomato balls/fritters in Greece! Just awesome. And the wine flowed. The sunset was gorgeous and we never felt more relaxed. As the sun set and the air became cool - the crew gave us blankets to snuggle up in. It was perfect...
I have to mention that we were celebrating our daughter's 18th birthday - and the crew supplied us with an incredible cake for her! They gave us a choice of chocolate or caramel cake. We chose the caramel - and it was a great choice. She loved it and was very surprised - especially when they put on a funny birthday song and brought out a crazy birthday hat for her to wear. It was hysterical and she laughed and blushed through it all.
They also had great music playing the whole cruise - just right!
It all made for such a special and unique and truly memorable evening! It was so much more memorable than simply sitting in yet another restaurant for dinner, especially considering we were in restaurants every day and night of our 11 day trip to Greece! This night was worth every penny and more! All 3 of us agreed that it was money well spent and we would do it all the same way again!
We could have saved money and gone out as part of a shared group. However, we've done private boats and shared in the past. And the two experiences are very different. The group can be fun. But we loved having the catamaran to ourselves... It's really a very special experience being out on the water with just your family or friends - and sometimes that difference can turn a "fun" experience - into an "unforgettable" experience...
The best part for my daughter, who is a sailor, is that she was allowed to steer the vessel for quite a bit of the sail coming in. She has such amazing memories from doing that. When else would she have an opportunity to actually sail a giant catamaran around the Greek Islands, steering it all on her own, Greek music softly playing in the background? The photos we have of her at the wheel - she is absolutely glowing - and it isn't just the sunset!
I can still close my eyes and feel the sunset as we sailed along the water and took in Mykonos and its surrounding Islands. It's such a different experience than you would ever get by staying on the land.
We can't thank Mykonos Catamaran enough for being a highlight of our trip - and possibly our favorite day and memory in all of our trip to Greece. We experienced some wonderful days and nights in Greece - so the bar is set high. But our daughter would tell you, hands down, that this was the pinnacle of our entire trip! And I speak for all of us when I sum it up with one word: Magical.

This resort and beach has everything you will want. Very safe bathing,free sunbeds when you eat at many of the beach restaurants, parking on the beach if you arrive by car, soft golden sand which is ideal for making sand Castles. There is not a better beach.
5. Rarity Gallery

Reviewed By Janly
Because of trip advisor reviews, my friend and I sought out this gallery. Because of the small winding streets in Mykonos, this may not be easy to find, so if you wish to go, plot out the location on a map before you head out. Lovely little art gallery with some of the most interesting, original sculpture I have ever seen.. Definitely worth it for a stop in to cool off from the hot sun and to take a bit of time enjoying some beautiful art. The owners were more than willing to teach visitors about the art and artists and they have taken time to provide a bit of a description next to each piece about the artist. Wish I had a home and wallet big enough to to take a piece home.
6. Agios Sostis Beach

Reviewed By Paul T - San Diego, California
Unorganized & natural (no chairs or umbrellas), nice quiet beach on North side of island, away from crowds, opposite vibe to South shore Beaches, partially-enclosed beach faces East so is protected from ocean current and wind, large sand beach, some rocks, great bay for kayak and stand-up paddle board, no music, water bottles and snacks (large glazed donuts) sold there by locals, bring your own food & drink supplies as needed, popular beach for nudity, water is fantastic (blue, cool & clear), good for snorkeling although didn’t see many fish, parking can be difficult as you park on extremely narrow streets nearby or the 2-lane street high up on the hill over the beach, the drive to the beach is quite amazing with view of large bay and surrounding hills, near ocean to the North, secret Tavern located nearby (although it’s seasonal like the island), one of our favorite Beaches on Mykonos, so peaceful & majestic there, a must-do activity if you have the time and the transport.
7. Panormos Beach

Reviewed By Travel_with_Panaes - Limassol, Cyprus
Panormos cove is amazing and you should visit regardless the presence of Principote beach bar. Velvety blue green waters, golden sand, surrounded by chocolate brown hills.
When it comes to facilities you still have the option : Luxurious and expensive Principote or your beach towel and umbrella without paying a single Euro.Nudist are there too.
We tried Principote's facilities which are really well made and kept but from the most expensive in the island ( bed set n umbrella 60-90 beautiful euros if you dont care much about them). Stuff came across a little bit as 'starving for service tips' but overall they were ok. We didnt tried their food. Wine was good and freddo espresso super.
Try it with or without the beach bar.I noticed that there was also a taverna close to the beach bar busy with diners.

My friends and I are more than grateful to those guys for the amazing tour they offered to us. We had the chance to see Beaches we did not even know that existed in the island. What we saw and experienced cannot be expressed in words. Delos is much more than the fancy photos one can see on the net. Worth mentioning is also that all the members of the crew were very friendly ( on top of that they are amazing cookers - they made for us a delicious pasta ). The day we spent exploring the island is definitely the most memorable for all of us!
P.S. They surprised us by making amazing cocktails, which we drank while enjoying the sunset!

It’s down some steps - sign and entrance weren't particularly obvious, so you can easily miss it – and you would find a hidden gem. It is a lovely family business with great breads, cookies and pastries.
In the morning, you can watch Gioras baking using the wood oven.
The owners are extremely nice and welcoming.

We had few days in Mykonos and really wanted to try something different than party/restaurant scene. Based on such high recommendations on TA. We decided to try it out. Dimitra confirmed our tour the night before and picked us on time in the morning from our hotel. There was suppose to be another couple but they cancelled so we wound up having a private tour! Dimitra was great, she told us the history of Greece and Mykonos a bit, as well as the current situation in the country. We informed her that we are beginners, so she took us on a less uphill bike tour. We got to see incredible mountain side view in Mykonos, stopped at a secluded beach where it was just two of us. We had a wonderful picnic, which was prepared by Dimitra and her mother (true home cooked meal) she also gave us a bit of her wine to taste.
Everything was perfect, I would def recommend this tour!!!
