What to do and see in Mykonos, South Aegean: The Best Budget-friendly Things to do
If the mention of Mykonos doesn’t immediately bring to mind bright white buildings, turquoise skies and tanned bodies lining golden sandy beaches, you’ve been living under a rock. The most popular Greek Island in the Aegean Sea is all about energy and attracts a diverse and upscale crowd that thrives on its stylish nightlife. During the day some privacy can be had in the more secluded north beaches, but the south beaches are all party. Ski, jet-ski, windsurf, horseback ride, parasail or just save up your energy for the evening ahead, like most of your fellow travelers in Mykonos.
Restaurants in Mykonos
1. Mykonos Brewing Company
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 71 reviews
In April 2017, just before Easter, Mykonos Brewing Company started fermenting its first batches of beer at their new, state of the art brewhouse on the island of Mykonos in Greece. With a combination of Greek malt and Belgian caramel wheat, hard to find hops and with the mythological story of the Giants on their backs, the Mikonu beer was born!

Heard about the brewery from our Villa Concierge (Apollo, great guy) so knew we had to go - we were not disappointed. Lovely brewing team who made us welcome and are clearly very proud of what they do (and rightly so) - excellent beer is being produced. Yoshi was more than happy to show us around although we arrived unexpectedly and he enthusiastically explained their brewing techniques and recipes. The bottled beer is great but we also discovered draft Mykonu Pale Ale at Captain's Bar on the watefront in Mykonus Old Town - a fabulous brew and for a couple of Brits way better than the usual Greek Alpha and Mythos beers Highly recommended - best wishes for growing success of your brewery - Yamas!

Lovely Byzantine church overlooking the sea.

If you go to Mykonos, please make sure to visit this church. It is just such a stunning and a not to be missed site. This is the oldest church in Mykonos which dates back to the late 14th century. It consists in 5 churches in one. They were not all built at once but rather added as time passed by throughout the centuries.

A must do while in Mykonos! Sunset time is the best time to visit Little Venice, preferably latest by 7.30pm to have an hour to watch the full sunset while enjoying a refreshing cocktail at one of the cafes situated on the shore of this location. Best enjoyed in a romantic mood with your loved one, or a flirt, easily found in Mykonos ;))

The streets are very narrow with lots of shops and colourful ceramic displays. There are also places to stay in this area and lots of places to take very picturesque photographs. It’s always very busy in this area, but that’s all part of the attraction.
6. Elia Beach

This long, sandy beach attracts a mix of gay and straight sunbathers. Some sections are clothing optional.
Reviewed By NicolasC973 - Limassol City, Cyprus
Elia is my favourite beach in Mykonos! It combines all types of beaches one can get in Mykonos. Some parts are covered by sunbeds and umbrellas and other parts are free from sunbeds, where one can lay down and enjoy the beautiful golden sand! The water is amazing, clear and in light blue colour, and the way this beach is positioned, does not allow big waves to reach the shore. There's even a nudist part, on the right side of this very long beach. The LGBT flag is placed on the right side of the beach as well, to make everyone feel comfortable and welcome. There is a restaurant on the left side of the beach, but if you get a sunbed, you can order whatever you need from the waiters who serve you on the beach. There are other parts of this beach where there is music, and others where it is quiet. There is a huge parking space on the beach for your cars. So this is a beach for every taste, just take a pick of the spot that serves you best!
7. Agios Sostis Beach

Reviewed By NicolasC973 - Limassol City, Cyprus
This is the beach for those who prefer natural beaches, without sunbeds & umbrellas, with long coastline and beautiful golden sand to drop your towels and lay under the Greek sun! The beach is divided in 2 parts by a natural small block of rocks, the left side is a small beach where older people or families usually sit, and the right side is a huge coastline stretching for 2km, where younger people and couples usually go, even with a nudist part at the far east of side of the beach. The beach is 20 minutes drive from the island's centre, but easy to find (just 1km after Panormos beach with Principote beach restaurant). There is a parking spot above the beach, but it is always full so best solution is to just park your car on the side of the road above the beach. Everyone does this, so you will notice a huge line of parked cars on the side of the road. There is a small local traditional tavern (Kiki's Tavern) right on the hill of Agios Sostis Beach, but they do not make reservations and there is a huge waiting line (approx. 2 hours of waiting to be sitted). The food is great, and the fish is fresh, but 2 hours is just too much. Best to bring your own snack and enjoy the lovely beach.

Found this place when looking for somewhere to go other than the beach etc. It is located in a slightly more rural area of Mykonos, not accessible by public transport so we took a taxi, which is expensive in Mykonos, but its fine if you hire a car or quad bike etc. It's a gorgeous little organic farm in "real" Mykonos - no glitz, no glamour. We had a lovely few hours here, learned how to make proper authentic tzatziki, there's a super-friendly adorable cat who went round greeting everyone, had a selection of delicious local food including things grown on the farm, and of course sampled the wine which is made here. After lunch we had a tour of the farm and vineyard which was informative and very pleasant - the guide was knowledgeable, engaging and passionate about what they do. After the tour you can get to know the farm animals, including the sweetest and friendliest sheep I have ever met. I recommend a visit to this place.
