Creator's Key Takeaways

Being here in July, we'd expected it to be crowded, expensive, and aggressively touristy.

But it actually felt quite relaxed and friendly in town.

It was busy, but not unpleasantly so, and some of the waterfront restaurants are definitely not cheap.

But overall, we enjoyed our time here much more than we expected to, and we definitely look to come here again on another cruise.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Take the shuttle bus from the new port to the old port for a scenic 10-minute journey.
βœ“Expect windy conditions in Mykonos, but the tender crossing can be surprisingly smooth.
βœ“Visit Little Venice for jewelry and clothes shops, but be aware of higher prices in some waterfront restaurants.
