Mykonos
tips & insights

Visitor transformation

In the 1950s Mykonos was a haven for hippies who came to the Greek Islands. In the 1960s Mykonos became a mecca for jet setters. Then, it slowly metamorphosed into a spirited party scene for young upper middle class vacationers from around the globe. That's its current personality.

Party venues

In the afternoon the youth gather at the Paradise and Super Paradise beaches for sunning, drinking and partying. Music loudly blares from the bars. When the sun sets, the drinking and partying become more intense and switches to clubs (or at organized beach parties). This lasts till dawn in this party haven of Greece.

Mykonos vs. Ios

The Greek Island of Ios is also famous for its non-stop party scene. But there are major differences. Too many of the revelers in Ios (mainly in their late teens and early 20s) act in immature and loutish ways. In Mykonos, the typical merrymaker is slightly older, better educated, and higher-incomed.
