All the restaurants in Little Venice and near the Windmills are excellent! The waterfront area is packed with great dining options. D’Angelo Restaurant comes highly recommended.
If you find yourself in Ano Mera, make sure to visit Bandanna Restaurant. Don’t miss their famous dessert, the Calzone Dolce—a heavenly mix of mascarpone cheese and Nutella inside a calzone. It’s absolutely delicious!
Bus System
Getting around Mykonos by bus is simple and convenient. There are two main bus stations:
Old Port Bus Station – serves beaches such as Elia, Lia, Kalafatis, and others.

Drinks + Good Views
Attention beer lovers! Mikonu Brewing Company is a must-visit for fantastic local brews—you can easily walk there from the city or take a short cab ride.
For cocktails with a view, head to The Garden or 180 Sunset Bar to catch the sunset.
And don’t miss Kastro’s Restaurant—perfect for snapping that iconic photo of the alleyway with the Aegean Sea in the background!
Delos
If you have time, take a trip to the island of Delos, just a short boat ride from Mykonos. This UNESCO World Heritage site was one of Ancient Greece’s most sacred places and a bustling trading center. According to mythology, it’s the birthplace of Apollo and Artemis and served as a major religious and commercial hub during the 1st millennium BC. The island’s impressive ruins include Doric temples, ancient markets, an amphitheater, houses with mosaics, and the famous Terrace of the Lions.
