When we were planning our trip to Greece, I knew I wanted to do, see and eat the best of the best, because I was going to share it all with you! Many of you have left comments, sent me emails and DMed me about questions our trip, so if you’re planning to Greece soon or have it on your bucket list (which is a MUST!), I’m putting together a video travel guide series on my YouTube channel for you! In the next few weeks, we’ll share our recommendations for what to see/do, where to eat/stay and how to get around in Mykonos, Santorini and Athens. Check out the full video here and some more of my thoughts below.

P.S. Just bear with us on the video quality, we’re brushing up on our skills and might be a little shaky sometimes (especially trying to film on a boat!).

First up: the beautiful island of Mykonos!

What it’s Known For: Blue doors, white-washed buildings and stone-lined streets (Mykonos Town). Some of the best beaches in the Cyclades Islands (Platis Gialos and Elias Beach). Insane party-until-sunrise night life (Paradise and Super Paradise Beach). Mykonos’ reputation as a crazy party island proceeds itself, but I promise it’s still worth visiting even if that isn’t your scene!

How to Get the There: We flew into Athens, so we booked a connecting flight straight to Mykonos (we were only in the air for about 20 minutes – super quick and easy!). You can also take a high-speed ferry, which would take you about 2.5 hours or a regular that takes about 5 hours. During peak season (June – August), you should book your ferry tickets in advance, but when we visited in May, we were able to buy tickets at the ticket office on the port.

Where to Stay: Depending on your plans, you can either stay near the city center of Mykonos or closer to one of the many beaches on the island. We knew we wanted to be beachside, so we stayed at Hotel Palladium near Platis Gialos (it’s a pretty family-friendly beach where most of the restaurants offer free beds and umbrellas to their customers). I loved the staff, the property and the ridiculous breakfast spread, which was the perfect way to get the day started every morning.

What to Do: Watch the sunset in Little Venice with giant cocktails and a front row view at Caprice. Get lost in the beautiful, Pinterest-worthy streets of Mykonos Town. Soak up the sun and then party all night at Paradise or Super Paradise Beach.

Where to Eat: Blue Myth and Avli Tou Thodori are two of the top ranked restaurants on Mykonos and they both happen to be near Platis Gialos Beach (right next two each other!). I recommend sharing a bunch of different plates with each other to get the full experience and whatever you do, you NEED to order the feta wrapped in a sesame crust and drizzled in honey from Blue Myth. Hands down, the best thing I ate in Greece.

How to Get Around: From where we stayed, it was a five-minute walk to two different beaches – not too shabby! For 10€, you could also take a water taxi from Platis Gialos to Paradise, Super Paradise and Elias Beach. For 1.80€, you can take the bus into Mykonos Town, which runs every 30 minutes (there was a stop right outside our hotel, which was clutch!). There are also plenty of shops where you can rent ATVs and motorcycles – it’s a great way to get around and see the island in its entirety. We rented one while we were in Santorini, so more on that experience to come!

I hope you found this helpful! If you’re planning a trip to Greece and have any questions, leave a comment or shoot me an email and I’ll be sure to answer! If you’ve already been to Greece, I would love to hear about else you did! And don’t forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel, because we’ve still got videos about Santorini!

P.S. Here are a few ideas on what to pack for the beach, exploring Mykonos Town and lounging at one of the island’s best beach clubs.
