Where to stay in Mykonos, Greece

Location: 3 min read

I know exactly what you are thinking.

“We have only X amount of days in Mykonos, what is the best hotel to stay in for budgeting and to see everything?”

Since I lived in Mykonos for 4 years, I became very aware of the top hotels and where people loved staying in order to accomplish the most. So I am going to give you some ‘local’ tips.

It definitely makes a price difference for what month you are going. Below I will mention amenities that I think are important…so let’s just assume all of them have the basics of free a pool with sunbeds, WiFi, air conditioning, and free breakfast.

Mykonos Town

Mykonos town is where you wanna be. It has the sea, a couple small beaches nearby, tavernas, and nightlife. And of course, so much shopping for yourself and souvenirs for back home. The town is a total labyrinth that seems like you always find something new around the corner to look at even if you passed the same spot 5 times.

Rochari

Price Range: $121 – $236

Having opened in 1976, this little hotel is a gem to many for a couple decades. Run by a Mykonian family, they welcome you with full Greek hospitality as a friend, rather than a guest. The hotel has an amazing view of the sunset and sea, with a great pool! www.rochari.com

Belvedere

Price Range/night: $147 – $1,210
  • Tennis Court
  • Babysitting
  • DJ/Cocktail lounge

Ranked one of the best hotels in Mykonos, the price might burn a small whole in your wallet. With a busting cocktail lounge around the pool at night, this hotel is a favorite for location (nestled in between the palm trees by the bus station). Some rooms offer a distant sea view. www.belvederehotel.com

beaches

The beaches are some of the island’s most intriguing part. Each of them have a different ‘personality’ and serve a purpose for the island and tourism. While there are around 30 beaches to choose from to soak up the sun, I have picked out a few of my fav on different beaches.

San Giorgio

Price Range/night: $165 – $380
  • Relaxed atmosphere

Perched on one of the more popular beaches, Paranga, is known for cool sunset beach bar vibes, and fun water sports during the day. Around 4 kilometers and a 20 minute bus ride from town, this hotel has a light bohemian vibe that will groove your soul. It is a standard Mykonos price with all the normal amenities, which makes it perfect for a day of playing paddle ball on the beach below, or hitching a ride at night for some nightlife action.  sangiorgio-mykonos.com

I know what you are thinking. This is not budget. No, it isn’t – but that pool! This hotel has a calm attitude, mostly recommended for a romantic atmosphere. Sitting above Megali Ammos Beach, the hotel offers a fresh of breath air, and a close walk or ride to town. www.bill-coo-hotel.com

These are my top picks! But I am happy to give more recommendations. Just let me know the month and your ideal price per night in the comments.
