Mykonos is synonymous with glamour and parties alongside breathtaking beaches. A hotspot for celebrities and the rich and famous, it never really lost its class after Jackie Kennedy visited in 1961. To this day, Mykonos is a fusion of history and modern luxury.
Read on for a list of the top things to do in Mykonos in 2025.
1. Wander Through Mykonos Town’s Labyrinthine Streets
Mykonos is a stunning labyrinth filled with narrow pathways filled with mykonos villas for rent adorned with blue doors and bright bougainvillea. It is the island’s heart. These charming alleyways have now been transformed into homes for designer boutiques, hidden Greek tavernas, and art galleries.
2. Watch the Sunset at Little Venice
Little Venice is best known for its colorful Venetian-style houses built over the water. It literally is a little Venice.
These striking houses make for the best sunset views you’ll ever see. Grab a cocktail at a seaside bar and dip your eyes into the setting sun. Mysterious is the only word that comes close, waves hitting the walls, painting water in all shades of pink, orange, and purple. It’s like a picture in front of you.
Arrive early to grab a prime spot at one of the bars or restaurants.
3. Take a Day Trip to Delos
You can get to Delos in minutes by boat from Mykonos. The place is believed to be the birthplace of Apollo and Artemis, making it one of the most sacred islands in ancient Greece. Today, you’ll see grandiose ruins, temples with mosaics, and the famous terrace with the lions. It’s no surprise that it’s a UNESCO World Heritage.
4. Party at Paradise Beach
Paradise Beach is amazing for a party. Even if you don’t like to party, it’s worth going. Lounging on sunbeds while sipping on cocktails melts anyone’s problems away.
Cavo Paradiso is also a famous spot. Sitting at the top of a cliff right above the beach, it’s one of the best beach clubs you’ll ever see.
5. Go Wine Tasting at Vioma Organic Farm
The Vioma Organic Farm, located in Ano Mera, is a perfect representation of the tranquility of Mykonos.
This farm is a family-owned vineyard that produces classic organic wines with indigenous tastes by playing classical music on the vines. Whether you believe in the power of music to the vines is up to you – the wine tastes great, whatever they’re doing. The wine tastings are complimented with fresh, homemade Greek meze and the peaceful countryside space far from the bustling beaches. Even if you don’t like wine, you’ll enjoy this experience.
6. Explore the Iconic Windmills
The famous windmills of Mykonos are some of the island’s famous landmarks. The white, cylindrical structures located above Mykonos Town were built in the 16th century. Initially, they were constructed by the Venetians in order to take advantage of the strong Aegean winds. Bonis Windmill is open for the public and shows the agricultural history of the island.
7. Learn to Make Spanakopita with a Local
Every visit to Mykonos would be incomplete without the local cuisine. Go to Miss Angelina for a warm meal and classes on making the traditional spinach and feta spanakopita pie famous for the crisp golden phyllo pastry. She welcomes guests to enjoy a hands-on cooking lesson filled with engaging stories.
Miss Angelina serves the golden spanakopita alongside Greek mezedes, ouzo, and local wine. Definitely a recipe to take away with you!
8. Discover Hidden Beaches on a 4×4 Adventure
On the 4×4 tour, you can reach unseen areas and lovely beaches like Fokos, Mirsini, or Merchia, all of which have magic blue water.
You’ll most likely take a break at the magnificent Armenistis lighthouse and have some lunch at a calm taverna located in Ano Mera. If you appreciate a raw, more natural side of Mykonos, you’ll love an excursion like this.
These all make Mykonos more than just an island for partying. In 2025, Mykonos will be classic Greek elegance. Get booking your Mykonos adventure today!
