Pack your swimsuit and dancing shoes—you're going to Mykonos! A lively destination with a year-round spring break vibe, Mykonos is an island in the Aegean Sea that's known for its vibrant bars and nightclubs, many of which cater to an international LGBT clientele. Mykonos boasts a wealth of sandy beaches and rocky coastline, and the main village—also called Mykonos, but you can make like a local and call it "Chora"—is home to plenty of museums, shops, and eateries. Your Mykonos vacation rental will put you at the heart of some of the Mediterranean's most dynamic revelry.
Apart from the bars, clubs, and beaches, you'll find plenty of cultural activities in Mykonos, too. At the Aegean Maritime Museum, you can learn about the region's seafaring history through artifacts and exhibits, as well as a charming garden with a restored lighthouse. For a look at local life, you can head on over to Lena's House. Here, you can find a treasure trove of everyday objects and furnishings representative of a typical middle-class Mykonian home in the 19th century. At the Archaeological Museum of Mykonos, you can explore statues, pottery, and other artifacts from as far back as the prehistoric period.
If round-the-clock beachfront partying is what you like, then you've come to the right place. A major destination for dance music aficionados, Mykonos is home to a lively nightlife scene, with Paradise Beach boasting a number of bars and clubs that host big-name DJs from all over the world. Looking for a quieter spot to sleep off last night's revelry? Then check out Agios Ioannis Beach on the island's southwest coast. Here, you'll find fine sand, sparkling waves, and a little more peace and quiet than the party-hard spots closer to town.
Unsurprisingly, Mykonos has a Mediterranean climate, which means warm, dry, sunny summers, and cool, relatively wet winters. Average summer highs peak around 79 degrees in July and August, though temperatures can climb as high as the triple digits. Winters are cooler, with average highs around 60 degrees in December and January. A popular summer destination thanks to its wealth of warm-weather partygoers, you'll find that winter is usually the slowest season for the island. You'll have the best luck finding wallet-friendly Mykonos vacation rentals during the cooler, less busy winter months.
One of the Cyclades islands in the Aegean Sea, Mykonos lies about 70 miles off the coast of mainland Greece. Just over 30 square miles, the island is relatively hilly, and it boasts plenty of sandy beaches and rocky coast along its ample shoreline. You can find plenty of parks and open space on the island, and a number of outfitters in the area offer hiking and biking excursions. Birdwatching is a popular pastime, and local species include pelicans, falcons, and gulls. With a Mykonos vacation rental, you'll find iconic Mediterranean scenery right outside your door.
Fly into Mykonos Island National Airport (JMK), the closest airport, located 1.3 mi (2 km) from the city center. If you're unable to find a flight that fits your schedule, you could book a flight to Naxos (JNX-Naxos Island National), which is 25.3 mi (40.7 km) away.
