Mykonos, Greece Port Reviews

Stunning location with little windy streets that you can wander round for hours! It's pretty flat so for those that are not as mobile, it's ideal to walk round. Plenty of bars, cafes and restaurants to choose from if you do fancy a bit of a rest. With this being a tender it may be more difficult for those that need assistance getting on/off the ship.

We went to Platis Gialos beach. Dream beach with sand all over and wonderful landscape. Not far from the city centre. You can take the bus to come there.

Booked on Celebrity Cruise ($150) Did city walking tour around little Venice and windmills, tasted candy fruit and local made alcohol. Went to local Winery (only winery on Mykonos) and had appetizers and tasted the 3 wines. Very good! Bought two bottles! Sena the warrior princess was our guide, very well spoken in English. We would recommend 😍

Take the ferry boat for 2 Euro rather than the ship's 15 Euro bus ride to town. Good place to do on your own. Lots of shops and boutiques that offer art and out-of-the ordinary items (some not out of line on pricing). Restaurants available. Nice to do the shopping and eating on our own schedule rather than in a group where we were always rushed.

Would live here if possible, learned about this little island and it stole my heart, want to be cremated and spread here!

Very idyllic but pricey too! Found the food more expensive than other places like Santorini. Other than it is a really cool place. It is value for money and would certainly recommend it.

Mykonos did not disappoint. Mom and I had a great time walking in circles and getting lost. Make sure to look for Petra’s the Pelican. I was lucky enough to meet him.

MYKANOS IS THE BEST. IF YOU LIKE TO PARTY, GO TO SUPER PARADISE BEACH. WE TOOK A BUS THERE TO THE BEACH. THE DRINKS ARE EXPENSIVE SO TRY TO BUY ALCOHOL BEFOREHAND. THE FOOD AT THE FAST FOOD PLACE IS NOT THAT GOOD. DON'T HAVE THE MUSAKA THERE. IT IS HORRIBLE. YOU ARE BETTER OFF WITH FRUIT AND A SALAD. THEY PLAY TECHNO MUSIC LATER ON IN THE DAY AT ONE OF THE BARS. TOO BAD THE SHIP DOESN'T STAY AT MYKANOS FOR TWO DAYS. THE WATER IS VERY CLEAN. IT WAS VERY WINDY LIKE A HURRICAN THOUGH. BRING SOMETHING HEAVY TO WEIGH DOWN YOUR BAG AND TOWELS. MYKANOS IS USUALLY WINDY BUT IT WAS MORE THAN THE NORM THAT DAY.

We spent our time walking around town, and made a brief stop at one of the beaches we could walk to by the windmills. The scenery was great and we enjoyed our day here.

We didn’t book anything ahead in Mykonos, because everything I’d read made it sound like we could just wing it. My husband stayed on the ship so it was just my daughter and me. I had read about “Mykonos Farmers,” a local creamery that supposedly made fantastic cheese and Greek yogurt, so we looked on a map and found it. We were going to get a taxi or bus, but decided to walk to Starbucks first (my daughter’s town in Germany doesn’t have one so she was quite excited). It was about a 20-minute walk through some really cute areas, but also included SUPER long and high hills, and (worse than that), walking on a very busy road with no sidewalks or shoulders. But we made it without a problem. By then we were only a 30-minute walk from Mykonos Farmers, so we set off to do that, with similar hills and unsafe roads, and when we saw a car rental place we decided to give that a try. The first one quoted 80 euro, so I said no (we only needed it for about 4 hours). The second one quoted 60 euro, plus said we could return it at the port (which we were somewhat far from by then), so we went for that. I didn’t need an international driver’s license; she just took down info from my license and CC number. She said she only needed the CC number “just in case,” but actually wanted us to pay in cash. I told her I needed to go to an ATM, and she said I could do that while we had the car and just bring her the money when we return it, which was really nice. So we took the car (a 2-seater SmartCar) and were thrilled that we had done that! I’d read horror stories about driving in Mykonos, but it wasn’t bad at all, especially in such a small car, and we were able to accomplish so much more than we would have. We drove to Mykonos Farmers and LOVED IT!! The owner, Yiorgos Syrianos, was gracious enough to give us a spontaneous tour (12 euro each) and was extremely proud when telling us about the generations-old techniques they use, with very little modern technology, to create their very creamy yogurt and flavorful cheese (both of which we got to sample!). He learned everything from his grandmother, and has passed it down to his son. We got to sample quite a bit of the amazing yogurt, plus 3 different cheeses, and little toast things with cheese spread, all included in the price of the tour. We purchased cheese, because he said certain types could stay unrefrigerated for up to a week. It was seriously fantastic, and we were the only guests there so it felt very personal and local. Apparently you can also book cooking classes there. After that we drove to a beach to take some photos, and then went to the Little Venice area, which is by the windmills. We had to pay 12 euro to park there (not a big deal, but good to know). Little Venice had the typical Greek tourist shopping we’d come to expect, but it was still fun to walk around. When we were ready, we called the car rental lady and told her we were heading to the port, where she met us and we paid her cash. Getting a car there made a huge difference in what we were able to see and do in a short time.
