Hotels near Mykonos Airport - JMK, Mikonos

the beach was just a crazy dystopian vision of what the rest of Greece could end up like! Mykonos is so beautiful, there could be room for people who dont want to listen to really loud music lying on beds taking pictures of themselves but that seems to be how it is marketed shame really as I would go back but probably stay in Mykonos town as the beaches have been over run by beach clubs

As an Australian I didn’t come for the beaches…. Ours are first class but the sea water is more beautiful and crystal clear in the Mediterranean and Adriatic. The town itself is unique with quaint cobbled alleyways and restaurants everywhere and shops. It’s European style . Summer must be a nightmare with all the tourists so September for us was great, still warm and good weather. The bus routes are on opposite sides of the waterfront. One bus runs that way and the other ,the other way …… hope that makes sense. One leaves from the old port and the other from Fabrika square . Plenty of hired scooters or quad bikes available to explore the island . My first impression was not favourable but the next day had a better impression and enjoyed the two days in Mykonos . Long enough for me . We stayed in a beautiful hotel at the top of the hill called hotel Damianos … beautiful beautiful hotel , lovely breakfast, super friendly staff , lovely pool area and very reasonably priced . Would highly recommend

Ornos was a lovely location - we preferred it to Paradise where we stayed last time (particularly for a family). But the beach gets very busy by lunchtime and there is only a very small sandy part to put your own towel/umbrella without having to rent a bed. The sun lounge rentals range from 60euro to 100euro for the front row. Near the beach there were many great restaurants, bakeries and supermarkets.

Ano Mera was good for you want to be away from the city but still able to visit. It is only about 25 minutes from the city and the beaches but still far enough away to feel peaceful. If you do stay here I recommend renting a car or being very ok with using lots of taxis. While buses exist I was never able to figure them out. great for families or people who want relaxing nights and don't plan on going out at night.

The part of Mykonos island where we stayed was very quiet at night so you could get a lot of rest and relaxation, which was great. We had like a 3-5 minute walk to a beach, a store, and a couple of restaurants. It’s like 5-7 minutes from Mykonos Town or the Old Port where a lot of the main action is so you have to get transported there. We learned that you have to have a class M license yo rent the scooters 🛴 (mopeds). The cars and ATVs are fine to rent with a standard license but the scooters require a Class M or CM(I believe). It’s Grecian law but very disappointing for us lol! We would have been better off with the scooters as they rent them for 24 hours; the cars and ATVs as well but we had a dream of zipping around on the scooter🤗 we know now and I’m sure by the next time we go— I’ll be able to get one 😉 Don’t stay In Mykonos Town if you want peace and quiet. Do stay in Mykonos Town if you want a bustling night life with plenty of dining option well into the morning.

Its ok, a bit of a walk to beach & main town but doable. No pavement though! Bus every half hour in either direction but if full up could be waiting for ages. Not much in the way of restaurants etc in the area, have to head into town or beach
