Where to moor your yacht
The main marina is Mykonos New Port (Tourlos), just two kilometers from the town center. Everything is easy and comfortable there: electricity, water, fuel, Wi-Fi and shops nearby.
If you’re looking for more peace and quiet, consider anchoring in the bays of Ornos, Agios Ioannis or Agios Sostis.
Keep in mind the meltemi – strong northern winds that can sometimes turn the sea into a mirror of white foam.
Ornos Bay is a favorite among sailors: good wind protection, clear water and excellent tavernas right on the beach.
What to see — Top 10 places on Mykonos
- Chora (Mykonos Town) – whitewashed streets where it’s easy to get lost and not want to come back.
- Windmills (Kato Mili) – the symbol of the island and one of the best sunset viewpoints.
- Little Venice – cafés and bars right by the sea, where waves sometimes reach the tables.
- Panagia Paraportiani Church – looks as if it grew out of the rock; one of the most photographed places in Greece.

Where to eat and spend the evening
It’s impossible to stay hungry on Mykonos. Even simple grilled fish here smells of wind and sun.
Places we personally return to and recommend to everyone:
- Phoebus (Mykonos Town) — refined Greek cuisine, excellent wine and top-level service (operates from April to October).
- Nikos Gallop Restaurant (Platis Gialos) — honest food: octopus, salad, white wine and the sound of waves.
- Nikolas Taverna (Agia Anna) — a family place with a home-like feel and outstanding calamari.
- Apaggio (Ornos) — arrive by dinghy, tables by the water, a perfect dinner spot.
- NOA Greek Restaurant (Mykonos Town) — Greek cuisine with a light modern touch.
- Avli Tou Thodori (Platys Gialos) — a beach taverna with generous portions and a lively atmosphere.

Where to have coffee or cocktails

What to buy as a souvenir
Mykonos is not about fridge magnets. You’ll want to bring back something real, with the soul of the sea:
- handmade jewelry from LALAoUNIS or Apriati;
- olive oil and honey from local farmers;
- a white shirt or linen dress from boutiques in Chora;
- a bottle of wine from Delos — a rare treat you can taste only here;
- and, of course, a little sea salt — a symbol of purity and freedom.
Best photo spots
- Kato Mili windmills — a Mykonos classic, especially at sunset.
- The rock near Panagia Paraportiani — early in the morning, before the crowds.
- Little Venice — houses by the water, waves and a glass of wine in hand.
- Faros Armenistis — the lighthouse with panoramic sea views.
- Chora from above (180° Sunset Bar) — the perfect backdrop for an evening memory.
