based on 6 experiences from female travelers
Stayed at the Mykonos Bay Resort (booked early, was the best hotel, service and food of our entire trip) and insane breakfast spread included each day + has an incredible pool + and beach (water is rocky - typical of Mykonos) 15min walk (a little uphill with an incredible view) to Mykonos town Very safe for walking during the day and at night, several people in groups and solo walking to/from at night on the roads as well Recommend: Avoid being out from 11-3, use this time to layout and tan + nap and then start getting ready for dinner Luxury brands like Louis Vuitton are here + open late until 2am and are packed like a club a night…not an exaggeration, we saw it like this at midnight. Everyone is out late here If in town on a Sunday, you have got to go to Scorpios Sunday, there’s a shuttle bus from Mykonos town that can take you there, otherwise try to get a car service phone number to schedule a ride ahead of time (60€ return ride)… it gets insanely packed like a Vegas night club. Don’t accept a drink unless you see it get poured here, way too packed of a place and I wouldn’t count on the people here to advocate for someone if they saw something happening.
Posted: July 23, 2024I traveled to Mykonos solo (24 yr old woman) for two nights and had a great time! Food and drinks were way more expensive than other parts of Greece, but I expected that. It was also a little difficult to meet people at the beach clubs (slightly pretentious vibes), but I did feel very safe and had a great time going out in the old town.
Posted: July 10, 2024I felt pretty safe in Mykonos. I walked around during the day, locals were nice. It was pretty crowded with tourists. I didn’t really do much besides walking around and shopping. Mykonos is pretty expensive compared to the other islands so be prepared for that. There were buses, boats and cabs to get around the island.
Posted: November 28, 2023Mykonos is a party island and promotes itself in this way. I had a good time on this island, but I'm not the party type. Two or three days were enough to explore the island.
Posted: April 11, 2023This is terribly touristic and expensive, and without friends, it's not so fun anymore. The party scene was difficult to understand for a young, lonely woman... unfortunately, I was sexually harassed in a club.
Posted: October 23, 2022I loved Mykonos. I stayed at the Palladium Boutique Hotel and it was easily accessible, located near 3 beaches and Little Venice. Kastos is my favorite restaurant, but it was a bit expensive. I would not recommend the Buddha Bar, it was overrated and the food was just okay.
