Guide to Mykonos

Set amongst the idyllic charter routes of the Cyclades Islands, this world-famous island was discovered by the bohemian travellers of the 1960’s and has since become renowned for its glitzy party lifestyle.

For all of the glamour and glitter that a Mykonos yacht charter vacation flaunts, it offers just as much natural beauty and traditional Greek scenery. The vibrant heart of the island is a place to escape, indulge and revel in the stylish bars and fantastic restaurants, whilst the more traditional villages that occupy the north offer a quieter, more secluded ambience.

One of the most popular places on the island is Little Venice, which boasts a stylish bar and restaurant-lined waterfront and is home to Mykonos’s most famous sight - five hill-top Cycladic Windmills hovering on the skyline.

The main town of Chora is also a must-see part of Mykonos. Its perfect crescent bay, lined with charming fishing boats and stylish bars and restaurants, has long been a favourite of visiting Mediterranean yacht charter guests, who spend their summers wandering through the cobbled streets and taking in the sunset views from their luxury superyachts.

A short distance from the mainland, both Rhenia Island and Delos provide a more relaxed alternative to the restaurants and bars which line the historic streets. Uninhabited and only accessible by yacht, these exclusive destinations provide a distinct contrast and unique experience for charter guests to enjoy when visiting Mykonos.

Home to a number of cultural events, including a small film festival, Mykonos is also a perfect stop off for a summer weekend of hedonism or a relaxing escape later in the year as part of a wider East Mediterranean yacht charter itinerary.
