The Most Stunning Airbnbs in Mykonos for an Unforgettable Greek Getaway

Epic Stays
by Hannah D. Cooper Aug 29, 2023

Fringed with honeyed beaches and emblematic windmills, the Greek “Island of the Winds” is one of the prettiest Cyclades islands. When choosing where to stay in Mykonos, the island’s namesake town (also known as Chora) is a natural choice. This way, you can walk to the windmills and catch the sunset over Little Venice before surrendering yourself to the famous Mykonos nightlife. If swimming in the Aegean Sea is top of your list of things to do in Mykonos, consider accommodation near the beaches of Kalafati, Elia, and Ornos. Live like an Olympian at these divine Airbnbs in Mykonos, Greece, with private pools and million-dollar views.

What part of Mykonos should we stay in?

Airbns in Mykonos Town are a reliable choice for your first-time visit. The setting for the Windmills of Mykonos, Little Venice, and the Old Port, there’s plenty to keep you busy while Delos is a short boat ride away. As the nucleus of the island’s nightlife, you’ll find scores of bars and nightclubs ready to prolong the evening. In terms of where to stay in Mykonos for a family vacation or romantic hideaway, you’ll find beachfront Airbnbs and hilltop villas dotted around the coastline close to swimming spots.

What is the main town center in Mykonos?

Mykonos Town (also known as Chora) is the island’s capital. This pedestrianized area is flush with whitewashed buildings, windmills, and taverns.

How many days do you need on Mykonos?

If you’re planning a whistle-stop tour of the main things to do in Mykonos, a minimum of three days on the Greek island is enough. However, staying for five to seven days means that you can get better acquainted with Mykonos beaches and wind down by the pool.

Is Mykonos Town walkable?

The pedestrianized Mykonos Town is a walker’s paradise. Beyond Chora, you’ll likely need to rent a car, scooter, or ATV. Getting a perspective of the island from the sea is one of the unmissable things to do in Mykonos.

Where is the most beautiful part of Mykonos?

“Little Venice” and the Kato Milli are the most photogenic parts of Mykonos. However, there’s beauty to be found in every inch of the Greek island.

What is the best way to get to Mykonos?

Passenger and car ferries connect the ports of Piraeus and Rafina in Athens to Mykonos. Piraeus Port is closer to Downtown Athens while Rafina is more convenient for the airport. Athens to Mykonos ferry services take 2.5-5 hours subject to whether you book a high-speed catamaran or car ferry. SeaJets, Blue Star Ferries, Hellenic Seaways, and Golden Star Ferries are the chief operators with onward connections from Mykonos to Santorini. Flights to Mykonos International Airport from Athens are a speedy 45 minutes.

Santorini vs Mykonos: which island is best?

Weighing up whether to visit Santorini or Mykonos is a dilemma faced by Greek island hoppers. With its cave suites and spellbinding sunsets, Santorini is popular with honeymooners. Mykonos is more affordable with fabulous beaches and a livelier nightlife. If you’ve got more time on your hands, you can take a scenic ferry from Mykonos to Santorini in as little as three hours.
