Below you can see some recommendations regarding coffee/bars:

Caprice or Baos or Semeli: in Little Venice are the ideal bars to watch the sunset and enjoy coffee or a drink

Scarpa: in Little Venice that is a "house music" bar Cosi or Aroma on Matogianni street are also very good options for coffee or late drink

Jackie'O and Babylon by the Old Port of Mykonos are also some of the best gay friendly bars in Mykonos

Buddha Bar at Santa Marina Resort: Buddha bar DJs eclectic sets, in harmony with the famous compilations will create an exceptional atmosphere for a distinctive destination.



Furthermore you are kindly informed that locally you will not be able to find shopping options apart from Nammos Village at Psarou beach which has boutiques of houses like Christian Dior, Gucci, Louis Vuiton etc. We would certainly recommend visiting Mykonos Town for a walk to explore both Windmills and also enjoy shopping. Moreover Matogianni street in Mykonos is a very popular street with plenty of shops.


Excursions and activities

Yachting: Enjoy a luxury yacht experience and explore the beauties of Mykonos in style. You can choose to visit the archaeological site of Delos island and the neighboring also uninhabited Rhenia island which has crystal clear waters for swimming and make several stops for swimming and snorkeling. Alternatively, you can sail across the South Coasts of Mykonos in order to explore the famous beaches from a different perspective. These cruises can be made either with a luxurious speed yacht on a private basis only or should you prefer instead a sailing boat you can book it either privately or on a shared basis.

Guided tour to Delos island: This excursion is highly recommended, as Delos, near Mykonos, at the center of Cyclades archipelago, is one of the most important archaeological sites of Greek civilization. Delos has been a holy sanctuary for a millennium before Olympian Greek mythology made it the birthplace of gods Apollo and Artemis. It's a set group tour that is available daily in the morning or in the afternoon. It lasts approximately 3.5 to 4 hours and includes the boat transfer, entrance fees for both museum and the archaeological site and a guided tour with a professional licensed tour guide who will walk along with you explaining the importance of Delos island through history, offering them a unique experience .

Folklore Farmstead & Restaurant Tour: Through this guided tour around the facilities, the visitor experiences the Mykonian tradition and everyday life of the family by direct interaction. He visits the traditionally decorated house having around the traditional stone oven, the cheese workshop, the winery foot-pressing vat, the well and the chapel. You would visit all 3 folklore workshops of the farmstead where you can watch the tsampouna construction (traditional musical instrument), the loom and the icon painting. You would wander around the vegetable garden, the vineyard and the crops, while he meets all the domestic animals of the estate, sheep, cows, chicken, horses and so on. After the completion of the tour the visitor returns to the main yard where he enjoys a delicious treat with wine and tsipouro, home made pies and local dishes.
