Windmills, whitewashed lanes and the Aegean's most glamorous party island
Mykonos is Greece's most glamorous island — a place that has attracted artists, celebrities and sun-seekers since the 1960s without ever losing its essential Cycladic character. The island's iconic windmills and Little Venice neighbourhood, where Venetian-era houses hang over the sea, provide the backdrop for what has become one of the Mediterranean's most vibrant party scenes. But Mykonos has quieter pleasures too: the archaeological site on neighbouring Delos, the finest seafood tavernas in the Cyclades, and remote beaches like Fokos and Agios Sostis that are all but deserted even in high summer.
When to go: July and August are peak season with the liveliest atmosphere. June and September offer warmth with fewer crowds.
The best months to visit Mykonos are June, July, August. Peak season is July with the best combination of warm temperatures and low rainfall.
