Explore on your own
For a small island there is a lot to do in Mykonos. The beaches are found all over the island, from the quieter, more family friendly Platys Yialos, to the happening and club atmosphere of Paradise and Super Paradise, the beaches in Mykonos are stunning and a must do, if anything for the people the beaches attract and the wonders of the clear blue waters. You can either rent a moped, catch a bus or a taxi to get to the beach. Paradise and Super Paradise beaches have clubs and bars nearby. The people watching is particularly good and you can easily spend the day watching people coming off the tourist boats wandering around as you have a souvlaki and a frappe at a waterside cafe. Head back from the port and wander the famous maze like streets, but watch out for Petros the Pelican, one of the many characters who wander the streets by day and night. Once night comes, the party scene heats up. Or you may choose to have a quiet night after a full day of fun.

A trip to Mykonos really should include a visit to Delos, the island which is the true heart of the Cyclades Islands and a fascinating half a day trip. Going down to the old port in the morning, take the short ride to Delos, where you will be transported into life as it was over 1000 years ago. Delos is uninhabited, but the ruins that remain are a fascinating insight into one of the most advanced civilisations at the time. Running water, two story homes, decorative streets and temples are found at the remains of this once thriving trading port. As all visitors have to be off Delos by 3.00 pm, on your return to Mykonos town you are free to do as you please, whether you return to your hotel for a rest and a sleep, continue shopping, or dance the night away once again. The Little Venice part of town is particularly beautiful, full of interesting shops, restaurants and bars. It is a great place to watch the sun go down over the neighbouring islands while having a cocktail.
