Mykonos - Old Town

in , ,

We visited Mykonos earlier on this year where it is famous for its beaches and turquoise waters. Mykonos is known for its nightlife but we actually went to enjoy the sunshine and the sightseeing. It was very easy to explore the main town and we did so in one day. The rest of the time here was spent lazing around the pool area.

We visited Mykonos town in the early hours of the morning and walked along the port which then leads into the main town where there are the shops and restaurants. Compared to the main shopping street of Santorini, there are definitely less crowds in Mykonos which made it easy to walk around.

As you walk through the main town of Mykonos, you will reach the windmills. It's amazing how picturesque they are and we spent some time capturing some great photos.

We stayed at LYO Boutique Hotel which is about a 15 minute drive from the main town. We picked this hotel because of its location and its outdoor pool! We really enjoyed our stay here and as a bonus, it's only a 15 minute walk from the hotel to Super Paradise Beach.

It was a short but fun filled time spent at Mykonos and it was the perfect relaxing holiday for us! We had a safe time here and encountered no problems during our stay. We definitely recommend Mykonos for 2-3 days as you only need one day to explore the main town and the rest to enjoy the beach and sun!
