Your Ideal 1 Week in Mykonos Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival & Sunset in Chora
Ease into your holiday with a relaxed first day. After settling into your accommodation—ideally one of these exclusive Mykonos villas with private pools and endless sea views—head into Mykonos Town (Chora) for a leisurely walk. Explore cobbled alleys, the iconic windmills, and Little Venice. For a memorable start, grab a drink at a sunset view bar and let your first Mykonos evening sweep you away.
Day 2: Discover three of the top beaches in Mykonos
No Mykonos itinerary for 7 days is complete without some beach-hopping. Spend the day between the island’s most famed shores:
- Psarou – For luxury lounging and celeb spotting. Very exclusive and high-profile if this is the kind of beach experience you are looking for.
- Paraga – A blend of laid-back and lively, one of the lesser frequented ones but surely one of the prettiest, located in the south of the island.
- Agios Sostis – Secluded and unspoiled, a true hidden gem for those seeking an off-the-beaten-path beach day that reminds us of the true charm of Mykonos without the hype.
One recommendation you won’t find in any guide is to enjoy a long lunch at a seaside taverna near Agios Sostis. Some of the best spots on the island don’t do reservations, but are always worth the wait.
Day 3: Delos island & Aegean Sailing
A must among the things to do in Mykonos is a half-day boat trip to the sacred island of Delos, one of Greece’s most important archaeological sites. Combine it with a sailing cruise around nearby coves or to Rhenia island for swimming in turquoise waters.
Day 4: Inland Mykonos & Traditional Flavours
If you seek to discover the true charm of the island, then venture inland to Ano Mera, the island’s only traditional village. Visit Panagia Tourliani Monastery, and enjoy a quiet lunch at a local taverna. In the evening, consider a private chef dinner at your villa—an intimate way to indulge in local flavours in total privacy.
Day 5: Chic Beach Clubs & Island Glamour
If you’re in the mood for a livelier vibe, head to beach clubs like Scorpios, Nammos, or Principote. Expect curated music, refined cocktails, and world-class dining in between dips. They usually require reservations to avoid disappointment. This is the day to lean into the glamour Mykonos is known for.
Day 6: Culture, Shops & Local Finds
Spend another day in Chora, but this time visit the Aegean Maritime Museum, and seek out family-run art galleries. Browse local boutiques that carry a mix of high-end and souvenir items as you traverse the maze of cobblestone alleys. End the day with a seafood dinner at a harbourfront taverna, followed by a nightcap in the vibrant Matogianni area.
Day 7: Poolside Peace & Farewell Views
Your last day of your 1 week in Mykonos is made for slow living. Soak up the views from your luxury Mykonos infinity pool villa, take a final swim, and let every moment sink in. With your heart full and your camera roll overflowing, you’ll leave already planning your return.
