Best Time to Visit

The best time to visit Mykonos largely depends on your preferences for weather, budget, events and crowd levels. Also, it depends on your personal preferences and what you want to experience during your trip. Here's a breakdown of the different seasons:

Spring (March–May): Spring is one of the best times to visit Mykonos, with mild temperatures, blooming landscapes, and fewer tourists. It’s perfect for exploring Chora, visiting archaeological sites like Delos, and enjoying quieter beaches before the summer crowds arrive. Tourist numbers increase in May, and hotel prices start rising.

Summer (June–August): Summer is peak tourist season, with hot temperatures, packed beaches, and a vibrant nightlife scene. Clubs, bars, and beach resorts are in full swing, especially in July and August, attracting partygoers and luxury travelers. This is the busiest and most expensive time to visit, with high accommodation prices.

Fall (September–November): Fall offers warm weather, fewer tourists, and more affordable prices. September still feels like summer, but by October and November, the island becomes quieter. It’s a great time for relaxed sightseeing, swimming, and wine tasting. Prices drop significantly compared to summer.

Winter (December–February): Winter in Mykonos is quiet and windy, with many hotels, restaurants, and clubs closed for the season. While locals enjoy a peaceful atmosphere, ferry services are reduced, and the island lacks the energy of peak season. This is the cheapest and least crowded time to visit, except for Christmas and New Year’s, when prices temporarily rise.
