The perfect Mykonos Summer GetawayWith its stunning beaches, vibrant nightlife, and charming Cycladic architecture, Mykonos is the perfect 3 Day getaway destination. Back in the days, when we were a bit more laid back, we spent a few nice days here. But if you make 2, 3, 4 (or even more) days out of it, thats completely up to you. AuthorsTworoamtheworld

Where to stay

The George Hotel Mykonos
Very nice, modern hotel in an attractive location, with a wonderful view of the sea. Both the rooms, the pool area and the buffet area are very clean and good-looking, you feel very comfortable during your stay! The very nice staff also contributes to this. The variety of food offered there was big and it tasted very good. Our room was actually perfect, except for the fact that it was quite small. But the balcony, including two loungers, was even bigger. You even get free access to a nearby beach + loungers.

Very nice, cozy restaurant. The food is delicious and very reasonably priced by Mykonos standards. Short waiting times, the service is very nice and courteous and the portions are good sized. It is also possible to park right next to the restaurant. At the end we had a small dessert on the house.

Sakis
For us, also this is one of the best gyros snack bars on Mykonos. Fast, inexpensive and, above all, better than in many restaurants. What I particularly like is that you get very large portions.

The best beaches

Fokos Beach
Fokos Beach is a wonderful place to enjoy the sun and the sea in peace and quiet. The beach is the most beautiful, unspoiled beach on Mykonos. And with such a beautiful setting. From the parking lot, you walk a few meters through a flat dune landscape - waving grasses and flowers guide your way to the water's edge. There are no sun loungers for hire - you have to bring your own parasols and towels. In this way, Fokos Beach retains its idyllic originality, which fortunately has not yet been discovered by the masses of tourists.

There are both managed and natural sections of beach.
