Mykonos Guide — Day & night

Day & night

Mykonos guide: day and night, source by source

Everything we have checked about Mykonos, by day and by night, in one place: the boats to Delos and Tinos, the two ports, the airport and the taxis, the windmills and Ano Mera, the island’s food and how its club nights began. Behind each timetable, fare or date is the body that publishes it, and the date of our last look.

Start with the night

The pages for the night itself: where to go, which club, which date and what the door asks for.

    Ano Mera and the quiet side of Mykonos

    Away from the harbour and the beach clubs, Mykonos has a second centre: Ano Mera, a village of 1,459 people in the middle of the island, grown around a monastery that the islanders consider their protector. Here is what the municipality tells about it, how to get there, and two quiet corners of the north worth adding.

    Island hopping from Mykonos: Paros, Naxos and Tinos by ferry

    Mykonos sits in the middle of the Cyclades ferry lines: Tinos and Andros to the north, Paros and Naxos to the south, Rafina and Piraeus behind. Here are the crossing times the companies publish, the port you leave from and what each neighbour is like, so you can add a day or a few nights to your trip.

    List of clubs in Mykonos: hours, entry and door rules from their own websites

    This list has no ranking, stars or favourites. It sets out, in alphabetical order, what nine venues in Mykonos publish on their own websites about hours, entry and the door, and it says so when a club publishes nothing. We read them on 5 November 2026, out of season, so check them again before you travel.

    What to eat in Mykonos: kopanisti, louza and the island’s own food

    Mykonos has its own larder, older than its nightlife: cured pork made in the autumn slaughter season, sharp cheeses, beans and wild greens. Here is what the Municipality of Mykonos lists as the island’s food, how to eat it, and how it fits around a night out that, in 2026, started with doors at midnight.

    Festivals & big dates

    Mykonos public holidays 2027: the Greek calendar and the island's own feasts

    Mykonos keeps the Greek calendar and adds dates of its own: a patron saint's holiday in October, an icon carried across the island in Lent, and a carnival that ends on the harbour. No 2027 programme has been published for the island yet, so every date here says what it rests on.

    Meltemi in Mykonos: when the wind blows and what each month brings

    Mykonos is an island of wind. In summer the meltemi sets the rhythm of the beaches, the boats and the waterfront at night; the rest of the year the island stays mild. Here is when it blows, how hard, which beaches it spares and what each month feels like, from Greece's national weather service, the National Observatory of Athens and the Municipality of Mykonos.

Quick answers

How did the Mykonos club scene begin?

With a beach: Paradise Beach Club dates itself to 1969. Skandinavian followed in Chora in 1978 and Cavo Paradiso on the cliff in 1993; the whole story is in Mykonos after dark since 1969.

Is it windy on a Mykonos night out?

Often. On Mykonos the north wind is the rule, and the National Observatory of Athens finds the meltemi strongest from June to August; summer nights stay warm, so a light layer is enough. More in the meltemi and the weather in Mykonos and in what to wear at night.

What changes once the season is over?

The club calendars close and the KTEL buses switch to their winter timetable, so a late night on the south coast means a taxi. The details are in Mykonos in October at night.

What you will find in this guide

Four sections so far. By day takes you to Delos, to the windmills and Little Venice and across to Tinos; arrivals and transport covers the old and new ports, the airport, taxis and buses, the ferries from Athens and the hops to Paros and Naxos.

After dark tells how the island’s clubs began, what each door asks you to wear and what to eat before going out. Three more pieces look at Ano Mera and the quiet side, at Mykonos in October and at the meltemi and the weather month by month.

When an operator changes a timetable or a club announces its dates, the article changes with it.
