Surrounded by the turquoise waters of the Aegean Sea you will find Mykonos, a beautiful Greek island known for its paradise vibes and party atmosphere. Whether you are island hopping through Greece or on a cruise that is docking to Mykonos, consider this list if you have only 24 hours on this stunning island.
Morning
Admire the backstreets of Mykonos and enjoy breakfast at Cosmo Café.
Discover the Church of Paraportiani, a picturesque whitewashed church that showcases an authentic Greek island look with its white cave-like structures.
Love to shop? Roam your away around to Matoyianni Street. This street is bursting with designer and handmade jewelry stores as well as souvenir shops.
While you’re browsing through the shops wondering what to bring back, head to The Olive Oil Shop as Greece is known for its olive oil.

Ready for lunch? Feed your stomach at Pepper, a tiny restaurant which serves the best souvlaki. This restaurant is perfect for your on-the-go itinerary!
Beach hopping is also a must on this island! Paranga beach provides two sandy beaches — the southern part which is calmer and the northern one which is blaring with party music.
Tip: To make the most of your day, take public transportation such as the bus or taxi. The major bus stations are Fabrica, Remezzo and Agios Stefanos, which are located at the Old Port.
Evening
Tanning away and catching waves will put anyone in a hungry mood, so head to Avli Tou Thodori for delicious Mediterranean food in an upscale setting.
Tip: Mykonos boasts the best sunsets, so be sure to make dinner arrangements then to catch beautiful hues of reds and oranges in the sky!
Lastly, head back to the old town and treat your sun-kissed self to a cocktail at Astra, the island’s well-raved bar.
