Mykonos

Where to Stay in Mykonos

The best neighbourhoods, hotels and booking tips

Mykonos's hotel market is split into two: walkable boutique stays in Chora (the old town), or beach-club resorts on the south coast. The right answer depends entirely on whether you want late nights in town or long days on a sunbed.

Booking Tips for Mykonos

  1. 1Book seven to eight months ahead for July and August — Mykonos sells out earlier than almost any Greek island.
  2. 2Hotels in Chora rarely have parking; if you rent a car, factor an extra €15–€25 per day in paid lots.
  3. 3Sunbed prices on the south coast vary wildly — €30 a pair at Ornos, €200+ at Nammos. Check before sitting down.
  4. 4If you don't intend to party, avoid late June through August — the island prices, queues and music levels are all calibrated for the party crowd.
