Mykonos Nightlife: What to Expect
Now that you know where to go, we should discuss what to expect from the nightlife in Mykonos. This island is the Ibiza of Greece. While this is the ideal place if you want to spend your summer partying every day, it may not be suitable for people looking for a more authentic and slow-paced experience. You will surely find a few local taverns, but if you’re hoping to spend a quiet island free from tourists, you should change your plans.
Mykonos has a variety of nightclubs, restaurants, bars, and beach clubs to choose from, so despite its reduced size, you’ll never get bored. Tourists here will also find several businesses catering to the LGBTQ+ population and plenty of young people making the most of their holidays.
Mykonos parties are renowned for being wild, so this is the place for you if that’s what you’re planning to do during your summer holidays.
Mykonos Party Tips
Before visiting a destination, we often look for tips and hacks to make the most of our holidays. If you are curious to learn some useful tips for your Mykonos trip, you can check out our article about it, but what about your evenings?
Nightlife in Mykonos is just as important – if not more important – than daytime. So, here are a few Mykonos party tips to ensure you enjoy your evening and avoid useless drama.
Transportation in Mykonos at Night
Let’s start by discussing transportation. Some of the clubs mentioned above are far from Mykonos town, especially when it comes to beach clubs, mostly located on Paradise Beach. If you plan to have some drinks, you obviously won’t be able to drive back to your accommodation at the end of the night.
Unfortunately, buses in Mykonos do not operate after midnight, and cabs are often unreliable. There are no official regulations on the island, meaning that taxi drivers stop working whenever they feel like it. On top of this, the demand is extremely high, and Mykonos is home to a very limited number of taxis. Long story short, finding a cab to take you back to your accommodation at night is almost impossible.
This means you need to book your accommodation close to the clubs where you want to party at night, as your only option is to walk back home.
Dress Code
Another essential point to notice is that most clubs have a dress code: island chic. If you want to be able to enter every club on the island, avoid super short dresses and leave your flip-flops at home. Of course, this doesn’t apply to day parties at beach clubs.
Best Areas For Partying In Mykonos
You can have dinner or an aperitif in Little Venice to enjoy the beautiful sunset over the Mediterranean Sea. The Lakka area is where you will find crowds of young people partying until early in the morning, while the LGBTQ+ crowds will love the Kastro area and the streets behind the Town Hall, where most gay bars are located. Of course, Paradise Beach is your best option if you’re looking for a beach party.
Extra Partying Tips
At the risk of sounding tedious, let’s also remember that sunscreen is a must if you’re going to a beach club. You may not think of packing sun protection if you’re heading to a party late in the afternoon, but trust us. You will need it.
In terms of English, you shouldn’t worry too much. While not all Greek people speak this language fluently, those working in the tourism sector have mastered it. Lastly, while several clubs nowadays provide free wifi, you can also buy a local SIM card to have data throughout your evenings.
Vodafone is one of the leading providers in Greece, and you will find a few stores on the island. However, keep in mind that SIM cards can be pretty pricey. You can also get a local SIM card at Athens Airport if you have a long layover there. Consider getting an e-sim card before your trip to avoid crazy prices.
With plenty of nightclubs and beach clubs organizing parties throughout the afternoon, Mykonos is the best island in Greece for those looking for a wild summer. This is the ideal place if you want to spend your days relaxing at the beach to make the most of your evenings. Whether you’re in the LGBTQ+ scene, looking for a chic and intimate club to spend the night, or a massive party at the beach, Mykonos won’t disappoint you!
