Mykonos Town (Chora): walk everywhere

Stay in or just above Mykonos Town if you want to walk to dinner, bars and shops. The town is pedestrian and lively until late, and it is about 10 minutes from the airport. Villas on the hills around Chora give you a pool and a view of the old town lights, with a short drive or walk into the lanes.

  • Walk to restaurants and bars
  • About 10 minutes from the airport
  • Hillside villas with town views

Ornos, Psarou and Platis Gialos: the calm south

02 / 05

Ornos, Psarou and Platis Gialos: the calm south

The south-west coast is the favourite for families and couples. Ornos has a sheltered bay with tavernas, Psarou is home to Nammos and some of the island's smartest villas, and Platis Gialos has a long beach with easy water. All three stay calmer when the meltemi blows and are a short drive from town.

  • Sheltered beaches on windy days
  • Nammos and beach restaurants close by
  • Short drive to Mykonos Town

Agios Ioannis: sunsets and views of Delos

03 / 05

Agios Ioannis: sunsets and views of Delos

On the west coast, Agios Ioannis faces the sunset with Delos on the horizon. It is calmer than the south coast party beaches and has a shallow bay that suits children. Villas here are made for evenings on the terrace, and Mykonos Town is a short drive away.

  • Sunset views towards Delos
  • Calmer bay for families
  • Short drive to town

Elia, Kalo Livadi and the quiet north

Further east, Elia and Kalo Livadi have long sandy beaches and more space between villas, with Ano Mera and Kalafatis nearby for a quieter pace. In the north, Ftelia and Agios Sostis are wild and beautiful on calm days, but exposed when the meltemi blows. Here a car or a driver for the whole stay makes life easy.

  • Long sandy beaches in the east
  • Quiet north for calm days
  • Car or driver recommended

FAQ

Questions guests ask

What is the best area to stay in Mykonos?

Mykonos Town for walking to dinner, Ornos and Psarou for calm beaches, Agios Ioannis for sunsets, and Kalafatis or Ano Mera for quiet. We match the area to your plans.

Where should families stay in Mykonos?

Ornos, Platis Gialos and Agios Ioannis have calmer, shallow beaches and easy access to town. A villa with a fenced pool is the most relaxed choice with children.

Where should I stay in Mykonos for nightlife?

In or just above Mykonos Town, so you can walk to Little Venice and the Matoyianni bars. For beach parties, the south coast near Paradise is closer.

Is it better to stay in a villa or a hotel in Mykonos?

A hotel suits short stays and couples. A villa gives families and groups privacy, a pool and space, and our team handles the services a hotel would.

Which part of Mykonos is quiet?

The east and north: Kalafatis, Ano Mera, Ftelia and Agios Sostis. Keep in mind that north coast beaches get rough when the meltemi blows.

Do I need a car if I stay outside Mykonos Town?

Yes, or a driver. Taxis are few in summer. Self-drive cars start from €45 per day on drivemykonos.com, and a Vito with driver can stay with you for the whole trip.
