Practical information to visit Mykonos
When to visit Mykonos by yacht rental
The best time to rent a yacht, catamaran, or sailing yacht in Mykonos is between June and September. The beach clubs are open from late-June until mid-September, with the opening and closing parties being some of the most popular. During the months of July and August is the island’s high season so it can get a little more crowded. From May to October you can also go inland and explore some of Mykonos Town’s nightlife. Arthaud Yachting has a wide selection of yachts, sailing yachts and catamarans available to suit your needs.
Best cruising areas on the coast of Mykonos
With over 200 islands in the cyclades you have many places to choose from. The most notable and popular destinations for yacht charters are Santorini, Naxos and Paros.
Santorini is known for its charming blue roofed, white washed villages and deep blue sea. Explore the beaches and quaint ports around the island before heading ashore for some serious photo opportunities.
If you’re looking for a day chilling on the beach with friends or family, Naxos is a great option for groups, the vibe is more relaxed than the surrounding islands and the waters are perfect for bathing. If you’re feeling more active, there are plenty of activities on offer too, from windsurfing and kitesurfing to sailing. And when it comes to food and drink, Naxos won’t disappoint – think fresh seafood, Greek salads and delicious white wines.
Paros is a more intimate and romantic option of the cyclades, amazing turquoise swimming coves and charming harbors await you. The options on your private yacht charter are almost limitless for exploring the cyclades. No matter what your preference, a yacht charter in the Cyclades is sure to create lasting memories.
Renia Island is the definition of paradise, perfect for a day trip from Mykonos, the white sand and amazing fluorescent turquoise waters are an amazing place to disconnect and unwind. Once you’ve completely let go, visit the nearby island of Delos for some incredible archaeological discoveries. The ride is beautiful, as you’ll pass by several other islands in the Cyclades, as well as the island of Tinos.
As you approach Renia, you’ll be able to see why it’s such a popular spot for swimming and snorkeling; the water is crystal clear and there are plenty of fish to see.
Do not miss when traveling to Mykonos
The picturesque village of Alefkandra, also known as ‘Little Venice,’ is a charming colorful neighborhood of little cubic buildings set on the sea. Renowned for having some of the most beautiful sunsets in the world. We recommend having our private concierge service booking you a table for sunset to enjoy a romantic moment that you’ll never forget.
Diving or snorkeling at the popular Paradise Reef. The reef contains a large diversity of marine wildlife. A great place to explore the island’s underwater flora and fauna. You can expect to see many species of fish, octopus and starfish.
Mykonos wine country is not to be missed! The area has a great climate for growing vines and has been producing wine for centuries. Take a wine tour and taste some of the finest wines from the area.

Breathtaking dining experience in Mykonos
Enjoy fine dining under the stars at Efisia Restaurant. This is one of the best restaurants on the island with some incredible Greek seafood and meat dishes paired with some exquisite fine wines from the area. An incredible ambience awaits you at your gently lit table where you can absorb the breathtaking views of the Aegean Sea while executive Chef, Ilias Maslaris, takes you on a culinary journey of the island.
For something a little more relaxed, the widely renowned M-eating Restaurant is a charming place to enjoy dinner. Set in the heart of Mykonos Town, on a small traditional stone street, you will really get a feel for the island. Their local kitchen offers a large variety of delicious dishes and the ambience will have you feeling like a part of the community in no time. We recommend tasting their specialty dessert, Melopita.
Michelin star Greek Chef Ioannis Parikos has teamed up with the famed hotel, The Semeli, to create Krama Restaurant. Perhaps the island’s most decadent authentic Greek restaurant, with fish, meat and vegetarian dishes. We highly recommend the 12 hour cooked lamb but for a full taste experience opt for the six course tasting menu.
All of these highly sought after gourmet restaurants have long waiting lists for reservations but with Arthaud Yachting’s private concierge service you will always have a table available.
Mykonos best local dishes
The island is known for having exceptional seafood. Prepared using traditional Greek methods or with a modern twist. The ocean setting calls for fresh and light dishes that pair with refreshing white wines.
Mykonos has two famous cheeses. Kopanisti is a rich and flavorful cheese that is matured through a unique two month process and pairs extremely well with meze and greek wine. Ksinotiri is a cheese more similar to feta but with a little more flavor, often used in salads with tomato.

This place has created its own vibe on the island and is composed of a multifaceted creative space that includes a day and night club, restaurant, cultural center and a spiritual retreat.
If you want to dance until sunrise Cavo Paradiso Club is the place to do it.

The local culture of Mykonos
The island of Delos is a UNESCO world heritage site and rightly so, the incredible archaeological discoveries that have been unearthed on this ancient island are spectacular.

Visit the Terrace of the Lions, a series of magnificent ancient lion sculptures. Other sites include the theater quarter, the house of Dionysus and temples of Apollo and Isis. A perfect place to immerse yourself in Greek mythology.
Mykonos’ windmills are the iconic symbol of the island dating back to the 16th century. There are 16 currently standing and are the first thing you see when arriving at the harbor of Alefkandra. We recommend visiting them at sunset for full appreciation.
