Four days in Mykonos - party for people over thirty

The well known party island for the gay crowd became posh and popular suddenly and a fun place to go hang out on a bank holiday weekend.  I know... Who would have thought so. I always thought Mykonos was trashy. However, in summer 2014 and 2015 it's all about Mykonos. Not St Tropez, not Ibiza...

And no, I don't recommend going by yourself to Mykonos as not too sure you would be getting the joys of it. It's just a good place to go with friends. So gather a crowd and go there over summer.




The beaches are not spectacular. Formentera by far still ranks first on the top of my list. But the sea is beautiful green-blue. Seby convinced me to go anyway, and spend a small fortune. Seby - my know it all friend, who loves to travel and is always convincing people to party around the world.

Most people rent a villa over the weekend which tends to be cheaper, but my recommendation, specially if you are coming for a short weekend is to stay in town. Its beautiful shops, art galleries and white, mediterranean architecture is worth the stay, plus the nightlife - it’s all there.




Top tip: rent a motorcycle and explore beaches.

Beaches

  • solymar - south, beautiful beach, relaxed, family, couples, friends relaxing
  • alemagu - north, quiet, rustico boho posh, hidden
  • nammos - party, cramped, wild on, peolple looking, dancing on tables after 6
This are the ones I went to however there are new beaches every year. Seby returned in 2015 to find 2 new amazing places.
