PACKAGE OVERVIEW

Summer in Greece / Mykonos 4 days / 3 nights

Unmistakably Greek, Mykonos is all sun and whitewashed villas. Situated in the Aegean Sea, Mykonos is heaven on Earth with its Mediterranean climate, sandy beaches and non-stop sunshine.

To say Mykonos is the new hipster hotspot of Greece would be an understatement. The island has a variety of new hotels, restaurants, bars and tourist attractions that all beg to be seen. The island’s beaches feature white sand and crystal-clear waters. You will have a difficult time pulling yourself away from a day of soaking up the Grecian sun. But when you do, it will probably be to one of the many bars or restaurants that dot the beaches. Whether it is a party beach or more secluded spot you are looking to discover, Mykonos will provide day and night of fun.

Mykonos’ nightlife is busy and can be as full on as you want it to be. Lively nights out here are known the world over. When the sun goes down and you finally leave the beach, you will find open-air restaurants, cocktail bars and vibrant dance clubs full of life.

With mild winters and sun-filled summers, a Mykonos holiday with easyJet holidays is ideal for nurturing the perfect tan. Catch Mediterranean waves as you surf, swim or snorkel in the local waters. If you tire of the sun, head inland to see unforgettable ancient Greek monuments and winding hiking routes. Whatever you desire, Mykonos will look after you.

    Ornos

    Ornos is the definition of the traditional Greek island village. The small fishing port is a favourite family holiday destination, and its simple bakeries, restaurants and shops make it feel like you’ve been transported back in time. Korfos Beach is located in Ornos and it is a great spot to try kite-surfing. That isn’t the only water-sport you’ll find there, but it is the most popular.

    Agios Stefanos

    Agios Stefanos continues to grow each year. The resort’s soft sand beach is incredibly inviting, and the taverns that surround it offer an escape from the hot Greek sun that warms the coast. The resort has the classic whitewashed houses you expect in Greece, but the area itself has a more modern look. That isn’t to say it isn’t traditional as you’ll find plenty of great Greek taverns serving classic island foods. And from the beach, you’ll see gorgeous traditional Grecian houses dotting the hills around town.

    Mykonos Town

    Mykonos town is the heart and soul of the island and much of the island’s life flows through it. The town is busy all day long and you’ll find plenty of great cafés, bars and restaurants. Mykonos Town also has great museums, including the Nautical Museum and Folklore Museum. If you’re looking for a great night out, Mykonos Town offers the best options with its nightclubs. While it may not provide the peace and quiet of the other resorts on Mykonos, this town gives you so much more than just a beach holiday.

    Elia

    Showcasing the quieter side of Mykonos, Elia is a small beach resort in the middle of the south coast, eight kilometres from Mykonos Town. It boasts one of the longest and most picturesque beaches on the island, where gently shelving sands mingle with shimmering seas. As such, it attracts a varied crowd – from families seeking peace and quiet, to groups in want of a relaxed atmosphere and laidback beach bars. Just a short jaunt from Mykonos Town, it offers visitors the best of both worlds.

    Tagoo

    Overlooking the Aegean Sea, there’s a dose of glamour to be found in Tagoo. Easily one of the more high-class resorts on the island, it’s no surprise that celebrities head to this part of Mykonos for a welcome mix of sunshine and spas. Despite its small size, there’s a pleasant private beach to enjoy as well as a number of places to eat and drink.

    Platis Yialos

    Situated just a short trip away from the bright lights and entertainment offerings of Mykonos Town, Platis Yialos is a quieter affair. Set in a beautiful bay, it’s the ideal spot for those seeking action while wanting to relax on the beach during the day. It’s also the setting of some of the island’s most beautiful beaches, where you can choose to kick back and relax with a book or enjoy one of the many water sports on offer. When the sun goes down, you’ll be able to catch your breath in one of the charming beachfront tavernas, or don your dancing shoes for a night out in Mykonos Town.

    Exploring Mykonos…

    Platis Yialos Beach

    Located on the southern coast, Platis Yialos Beach is an up and coming area. The beach features a great range of bars and taverns along its sandy shore. Platis Yialos is definitely the place to head for a great family holiday as the nearby Paradise and Super Paradise Beach are geared more toward late-night partying. If you’re not travelling with children, try Paradise or Super Paradise Beach; but if the kids are coming, Platis Yialos is the right spot.

    Church of Paraportiani

    The Church of Paraportiani is a group of five whitewashed chapels. These chapels offer a peek into the changing architecture and history of the island, as these structures were built on top of each other over the years. It is one of the most photographed churches in the entire world. A great day trip, and also an amazing area to have a picnic, surrounded by Greek history.

    Mykonos Windmills

    Nothing is more iconic on Mykonos than the island’s windmills. No matter where you are in Mykonos Town, you’ll be able to see the windmills, but it isn’t until you get right up to them that you see how amazing the structures are. There are 16 windmills and most were built by the Venetians in the 16th century. A visit to the iconic structures while on a beach break is a brilliant activity during your stay on Mykonos.

    Sample the nightlife

    While some of the resorts found on your holidays to Mykonos offer the ideal setting for kicking back and chilling out, you’re never too far away from some excellent nightlife. Thanks to its close proximity to just about any beach resort on the island, Mykonos Town is just a short taxi ride away. Begin your evening at one of the seafront bars, the ideal spot to linger with a cocktail as the sun begins to set. There’s even an open-air cinema if you fancy starting your night off with a dose of culture. With everything from laidback lounge bars and piano cabaret to adrenaline-inducing super clubs, you won’t be short of places to party on your holidays to Mykonos.

    Delve into the island’s history

    If you’re a keen history buff, you’re in luck. Mykonos boasts some of the best archaeological sites and historical attractions this side of the Mediterranean. Begin your sightseeing in the island’s old town as you make your way around its charming cobbled streets with their whitewashed houses and alluring Grecian architecture. Keep your eyes peeled for the stunning Church of Paraportiani against the backdrop of the Aegean Sea, one of the most iconic images in the world. You can also travel to the nearby island of Delos by boat, an important archaeological site documenting some fascinating pieces from the island’s considerable history.

    Mykonos cuisine

    The island centres much of its cuisine around seafood; and many of the restaurants that dot Mykonos offer fresh fish, squid or shellfish caught earlier in the day. The island also does the same classic Greek recipes found on the mainland, so finding great moussaka or souvlaki is easy. For a true Mykonos treat, eat the island favourite iouza, which is a spiced pork dish.

    Mykonos restaurants

    You should know a good Mykonos restaurant by the views it offers, and you’ll be able to find it thanks to the intoxicating aromas that can be smelled well before you get to its front door. Lunch menus offer freshly prepared foods, and seafood is caught and cooked all in the same day. Although the island does great seafood, visitors looking for beef, chicken, lamb or vegetarian meals will also find it in abundance on Mykonos. Of course, no meal is complete without a great Greek wine or glass of ouzo to complement your food.
