There are so many options in Mykonos that one could be disoriented to choose one area or another for accommodation.
In general, it can be said that where you choose to stay will greatly influence the type of holiday you take. If you are looking for a secluded environment, in a quiet area, with, for example, a magnificent beach nearby, you can find very cosy establishments all over the island, but to get around you will clearly need to use public transport or take a rented car.
For those who want to stay close to the shops, restaurants and bars, accommodation should be found in the more populated towns, without being reluctant to mix pleasantly with other tourists.
For those planning to explore other Cycladic destinations as well, Mykonos is a strategic base for reaching Santorini and Paros, while offering a completely different atmosphere to the quieter Naxos.
Here are the most popular locations on Mykonos to choose where to stay.
Certainly Mykonos Town is the most well-stocked area as far as transport, tourist services and shops are concerned. For those arriving on the island for the first time, it is certainly a more than valid option that should definitely be considered. Mykonos Town is therefore recommended for those who want to be in the centre of the action, while it might be too chaotic for those who do not like fashionable and crowded places.
Here you will find the widest choice of hotel facilities. As in all areas of Mykonos, high-end hotels, luxury residences and private houses prevail, but unlike elsewhere, there are also family-run hotels and even a hostel.
From Mykonos Town it is then possible to take a hire car and drive to the more remote beaches during the day, so as to be able to return to town in the evening to attend the many parties organised in the clubs.
Although it is definitely targeted by tourists, especially in the summer months, it is a town that has managed to retain its charm and its classic Cycladic style.
If you are looking for quieter but still well-serviced areas, these two resorts are an ideal choice for accommodation in Mykonos. They are safe seaside places for children and relaxing for adults.
Just a few kilometres away from Mykonos Town, the village of Ornos is a good compromise between those who want comfort and tranquillity and is therefore a favourite choice for families, while Platis Gialos, a short distance from Paradise Beach, is chosen more by young people.
Ornos, once a placid fishing village, has now become the island’s second tourist centre. It is a popular seaside resort with a wide choice of hotel facilities, close to the island’s main attractions and most beautiful beaches, but also a more relaxing place than the busy capital, with a pretty and busy marina.
Studio apartments, holiday homes and room rentals prevail, but you can also find a few mostly mid- to high-end hotels.
They have a style somewhat reminiscent of Mykonos Town, but are decidedly less crowded. They are, however, independent of Mykonos Town in terms of restaurants, shops and bars.
From these two villages it is also possible to take a bus to other beaches on the island.
For a few decades now, Mykonos has been the home of Greek summer fun. It is the destination par excellence for those who love discos and electronic music. Most young tourists, who come to the island to have fun, choose Paradise Beach to stay.
It is here that the largest number of nightlife events are concentrated, which is why simple accommodation can be found, perfectly suited to the few needs of young partygoers.
The resort itself does not offer much, except for the lively nightlife.
Agios Ioannis and Agios Stefanos are seaside resorts located on the west coast of the island, not far from Mykonos Town.
They are a great option for those who like to spend their holiday in pure relaxation. There are seaside villages all over the island, which may be an appropriate choice for those who want to spend their holiday in complete tranquillity.
Services in these places are scarce; the dining options are not as extensive as in Mykonos Town for example, but the comfort that can be found in the accommodation here will certainly not make you regret having stayed here.
The inland village of Ano Mera is the most authentic option for staying in Mykonos, away from the tourist crowds of the coast. Accommodation includes farmhouses, traditional guesthouses and holiday homes run by local families, offering an immersive experience in Cycladic culture. Accommodation is generally cheaper and characterised by genuine, personalised hospitality.
Accommodation in Ano Mera allows one to discover the more traditional face of Mykonos, with the possibility of participating in local agricultural activities, tasting typical products and experiencing the authentic rhythm of the island. Many traditional houses have been restored maintaining the original architecture, with interior courtyards, wood-burning ovens and organically cultivated gardens. The area is ideal for independent travellers and nature lovers.
The central inland location provides easy access to both the northern and southern beaches, while the picturesque monastery of Panagia Tourliani is one of the island’s main cultural attractions.
