Best time to visit Mykonos
The month-by-month edit — when Mykonos actually opens up, when to avoid it, and how crowds and hotel rates move through the year.
Editor's window: Jun, Sep Three nights in a Santorini caldera suite, then a boat charter through the Cyclades.
The short answer
When Mykonos is at its best
Mykonos is the loud one — the island where the beach club is the destination, the boat charter is the day plan, and the dinner reservation needs to be locked weeks before you fly. Done well, it's still the most fun week on the Aegean; done badly, it's a week of overpriced rosé and €60 sunbeds.
