Questions luxury travelers ask about Mykonos
-
Where to stay
Stay in Chora (Mykonos Town) for a first visit. It puts you within a 5-minute walk of Paraportiani church, Little Venice, and the old port ferries to Delos. Budget €120-220 per night for a mid-range double in June. Ornos, 2.5 km south, is the quieter alternative with sheltered beach access and KTEL bus links to Chora every 20 minutes.

Must-see
Delos, not Mykonos Town. The uninhabited island 30 minutes by boat from Mykonos's old port is a UNESCO site covering 3,500 years of continuous settlement. Boats leave between 9am and 10am; buy tickets a day ahead in summer. Back in Mykonos Town, the 1475 Paraportiani church and Little Venice's waterfront fill a single afternoon.

Food culture
Mykonos food centers on Cycladic staples. Kopanisti, a sharp PDO soft cheese, and louza, wind-cured pork with black pepper, appear on nearly every meze board in Chora. Fish is priced by the kilo and can run €65-90 for barbounia or tsipoura. Skip the laminated-menu spots on Matoyianni Street. The better tavernas sit in back alleys near Paraportiani or 7km inland in Ano Mera.

Cultural etiquette
Greeks on Mykonos are relaxed compared to mainland standards, but Paraportiani and the island's 60-plus churches enforce covered shoulders and knees. Greet shopkeepers with 'Yassas' before asking questions. Tip 5-10% at tavernas. Never photograph inside an Orthodox church without asking the caretaker first.

Airport to city
Mykonos Airport (JMK) sits 4 km from Mykonos Town. Take the KTEL bus to Fabrika station, 10 minutes, €2 ($2.30). Taxis cost €10-15 but the island has only about 31 licensed cabs, so peak-season queues run 30-45 minutes at arrivals. Pre-book a transfer if arriving July or August, or take the bus.
