I love your channel!! I will be there next month during winter....i didnt know the island basically closes due to lack of tourist and i wanted to go to beach clubs but this video gave me some ideas of what i can do, thanks!
Yes, the season in the Greek islands is normally over in November but there's always so much to do! I was in Sicily in December and loved it! :) Have fun!
Thanks for posting this video. We are on the ship in June and wanted to go to the mills, what is the name of the town? And doles the water taxi go there?
We will be there next month by Royal Caribbean, is it windy? what's the temp? can we do this DO IT YOURSELF? We are doing 27 day cruise so don't want to spend lots of money on excursions...Thank You
Hi! Yes, you can definitely visit Mykonos Town by yourself, there's no need for a guided tour. The water taxi is 2 EUR one way and takes you directly to the town center from the port. You can also rent a car or take a public bus to go to the beaches. When it comes to weather, it's always a bit unpredictable for this time of year. The weather on the Greek Islands is usually nice but you never know. Mykonos is a bit windy compared to other islands I visited, but you shouldn't worry, it's really not a big deal and won't affect your time there. Enjoy your cruise, I am sure you will have a wonderful time! 🙂
It is a very sad and disappointing thing to know that Mykonos, once the island selected by authors, painters, sculptors and people aiming to experience the natural beauty of this island that was a rather poor stronghold for pirates for centuries has now become a place where prostitution, drugs, alcoholism, rudeness and complete disrespect of almost any lawful behavior rules. Hotels, restaurants, beach bars and cafeterias charge exorbitant prices (usually without issuing any receipt), they employ young Greeks or illegal immigrants at monthly wages below (sometimes way below) the minimum wage, without any social security compensations and having them work 12-14 hour shifts 7 days per week treating them like slaves,, while beach bars and hotels occupy beaches charging ridiculously high prices for an umbrella and two chaise longues, forbidding people who are not willing to use them and pay for them from swimming in the beach (by Greek law all beaches are public and freely accessible to everybody). Much of the tourist economy of the island is in the hands of the Russian mafia and its oligarchs much of the supply of food, equipment and fuel a part of the building business is ruled by the Albanian mafia. Corruption runs high, as you can open any sort of shop almost anywhere if you have "the right connections" and you can build whatever you wish or can afford without feeling restricted by any building permits, Greek laws on the use of land or any public space demarcation. Local Mykonians, once happy and proud of their island, are questioning whether they are going to have the means to keep their properties on the island, are more and more threatened by the shady people that make Mykonos their summer residence and by the myriads of people landing on their island in the summer, as tourists seeing Mykonos as the paradise for heavy drugs, easy free and paid sex, wild partying and a chance to engage in any sort of extreme, unhinged nightlife "entertainment" of all sorts. Mykonos was recently characterized as the "Colombia of the Mediterranean Sea", if that adds a layer of description to the fast, sad and possibly irreversible disintegration of this very beautiful island. What a shameful waste!
I don’t advise for anyone to visit Mykonos because he applies of corruption. You must look after your wallet. Keep away from this place for your own good.😮
Thank you! Great video...we'll be there next week!
