Mykonos

The cosmopolitan jewel of the Aegean

About Mykonos

Mykonos is the undisputed star of the Greek charter scene. This iconic Cycladic island seamlessly blends world-class nightlife with traditional whitewashed charm, turquoise bays, and a vibrant culinary scene. Arriving by yacht grants you access to secluded southern beaches that remain blissfully uncrowded even in peak season. The old port of Mykonos Town is a living postcard — labyrinthine alleys, iconic windmills, and the waterfront Little Venice quarter where cocktail bars spill onto the sea. For yacht charter guests, Mykonos serves as the perfect launchpad for exploring the sacred island of Delos, just a short cruise away.

Little Venice

Iconic waterfront quarter with colourful balconies hanging over the sea — the most photographed spot in the Cyclades.

Delos Day Trip

Cruise to the sacred birthplace of Apollo, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with remarkably preserved ancient ruins.

Beach Hopping

From party-centric Paradise Beach to the serene Agios Sostis, Mykonos offers a beach for every mood.

Gastronomy

Michelin-quality dining at Matsuhisa, Scorpios, and Nammos alongside authentic tavernas in Ano Mera village.

Best Time to Visit

Late May to early October. June and September offer the best balance of warm weather and fewer crowds. July–August is peak season with the liveliest atmosphere but stronger Meltemi winds.

Recommended Yachts

Motor yachts and superyachts are most popular due to the island's glamorous character. Catamarans are excellent for families wanting to combine Mykonos with nearby Tinos or Delos.
