This year has been a year in which we took the relations between Greece and Turkey to the next level, we brought the winds of friendship blowing, and if the ice remained unmelted, they melted away thanks to us.. We go, we come, we praise Greece. After saying Thessaloniki, Halkidiki, Kavala, Athens and so on, we now went to Mykonos and turned it upside down! But this time the reason for our visit was a little different from the others.. You know, because we are mentally ill, we usually go for a walk until our feet break.. But this time, our goal was to take a close friend’s bachelorette party 8 steps beyond holding “my sissy” or “my husband is fine” speech bubbles in Cahide.
a lot of regulars, also those who find it “exaggerated” and vilify. We were in a strange dilemma between “I guess I won’t come to Mykonos again” and “it was a pretty sweet place”. When we think about it visually, we had the impression that it was dry and colorless at first, cute as if it came out of the movies when mixed around the town, and the nightlife was lively and fun but not as crazy as it was reflected.. Although we don’t know what to expect when it comes to crazy nightlife, I guess Berlin did it, we don’t go into that part.. In conclusion, is a bachelorette party a suitable destination? Yes. To rest? not quite. Because when we returned to Istanbul, we have to admit that we came back more tired than the day we went to Mykonos.. Of course, that depends a bit on how you live the island life, that’s a separate issue.
How to Plan a Bachelorette in Mykonos?
Friends, we don’t want to be a mess, but This bachelorette business in Turkey is really going like hell. What you call a bachelorette party is a little dirty, a little mean. The theme is not to exclude those who stay at home, but the one who gets married goes astray for the last time, you know? Don’t these people ever watch American movies? We wanted to buy some ridiculous party items for our friend here, and even they came up with something like this:
When we googled “bachelorette accessories” and searched, we even came across a silver tablecloth.. What is the tablecloth doing in the bachelorette? Not to mention the fake mustache and the “stayed at home :’)))” speech bubble density. Anyway… As a result, we didn’t want to expose our married friend to this ordeal because we couldn’t come to such things, and we decided to move our bachelorette party to Mykonos as a girls’ community.. Is planning a bachelorette in Mykonos hard work? No way! Because this is an island that pushes you to have fun, where everyone party until the morning, and the day and night are uncertain.. Whether you like it or not, this job turns into something fun once you go to the right places.. Let’s say the golden rule you should pay attention to: Make lots of reservations before you go. Because everywhere from beaches to restaurants is packed like crazy and therefore it may not be possible to act spontaneously.. We know that you may not want to plan an activity like a bachelorette party, but you will realize that reservations are very valuable when you get there.. If you want to know where to go, we will tell them a lot below.
Is Mykonos an Expensive Place?
Let’s answer your most curious question from the beginning: Yes Mykonos is an expensive place. We can even depress you by saying it’s a pretty expensive place.. Instead of spoiling there, let it be broken already. At the points that you will consider as a “good place”, the prices start at the Bodrum & Çeşme scale we have and go up much higher.. This is what happens when all the socialite people and celebrities flock to an island… No, I don’t understand, let me give you average prices for those who say tell me more:
–Main meal in a popular restaurant: 17- 24 Euros
-Main meal in a very popular restaurant: 25-40 Euros (it can go up to 40 Euros when fish or meat is involved)
–The price of sunbeds on a popular beach: 15-20 Euros
-Cocktails: 10-25 Euros (Cocktails at Nammos beach 25 Euros’ It goes up to 15 Euros at other beaches and bars)
–Bottled water: Large bottle of water in restaurants 3-6 Euro, small bottle 0.5-1 Euro in markets
–A glass of wine: 4-6 Euros
*As you can find places much higher than these prices, you can also go and find more affordable places by saying “I’ll just throw a Souvlaki” let’s remind. These are the averages of the places we’ve been to.
Mykonos Travel Guide: Getting to Mykonos
You have two options to reach Mykonos by plane without a stop There are: Atlasglobal or Borajet. You can easily reach Mykonos from Atatürk Airport with Atlasglobal, and from Sabiha Gökçen Airport with Borajet, in about 1 hour, it’s pretty close!. But we don’t think that the number of people who will say ‘Let’s go to Mykonos’ in the middle of December is not that many.
Transportation in Mykonos
Your trip to Mykonos will make you feel the sickest. If you were to ask what was the most disturbing and tense issue, we would all give an unanimous answer: Transportation! Why? There are many reasons for this. First of all, whatever comes to your mind, such as cars, ATVs, engines, zeppelins, jetskis, vehicles in Mad Max, renting a vehicle is almost a necessity.. Because the beaches you might want to go to when you don’t spend time around Mykonos Town are located in unrelated coves.. There is no general and common public transport that you can reach every beach, so you definitely need a car.. It is almost impossible to find a taxi on the island, as there are only a limited number of vehicles, so there can be long queues at the taxi stand.. Moreover, if you are seriously in the mood to party, you may want to go to a beach during the day and join another beach party in the evening, and making these transitions without a car is not easy at all.. By the way, may God not give you any more trouble….. (this article is going towards the composition guys, I think we will close with last but not least) Our first problem is that you should not drive while drunk.. Who is that warrior who will take charge of the car? The second is that driving across Mykonos is a huge inconvenience.. The streets are so narrow, so small that if a car comes from the opposite side, you just stay there.. So much so that when we first landed on the island, we thought we took the wrong road, but we were actually on the main road… Now, obviously they are amateurs at driving, so they say that, you might be reading it like “I AM A TURKISH MAN/EXPENSIVE WOMAN AND I AM THE BEST DRIVING BEING IN THE WORLD” when you leave. you will see. Joking aside, make sure to evaluate these situations before renting a car, we are not exaggerating.
*If you are going to rent a car, we are telling you which company you should NOT use: OK Mykonos. Indeed, the more disgraceful service could be given, the more disgraceful they were.. They tried to give us another vehicle instead of the vehicle we chose, when they saw that we couldn’t fit in that vehicle, they gave us two crappy vehicles.. The next day, they said that they would take those vehicles and give them another vehicle, and they ate our day for hours, and as a result, they gave a vehicle that vomited into it and YES VOID.. Then when I asked them to have the car cleaned, they took the car for a few hours and then brought it back uncleaned.. scary ones. Let’s say oh my.
*The issue of parking a car in Mykonos Town can also be a bit problematic, let’s make it clear right away.. Since you cannot enter many points in the town by car, or rather you cannot fit in those narrow streets with your vehicle, you have to leave your vehicle and walk.. At this point you have two choices, when you proceed from the main road leading to Mykonos Town, turn left before the bus comes to the parking area (this is also the area where the vehicle entrance ends) and the first parking area is located.. This is a paid but trouble-free parking lot.. Another parking lot comes to you when you follow the “Free Parking” signs when you follow the road on the right instead of going down the same main road and turning left.. This place is located in the Port area and as the name suggests it is free. It is located at the other end of the town, but since we are talking about an extremely small place, you can easily walk to any point you want from here.
*If you do not rent the car in advance on such a touristic island, but decide to rent it when you get there, first of all, congratulations for your courage. we do. you are crazy. For this, you can go to the first parking area we mentioned above, there were several different car rental companies side by side, maybe one of them will come up with something in luck.
Mykonos Travel Guide: Mykonos Accommodation Matter
The most important criterion in choosing your accommodation in Mykonos will be the budget before the location, because you will need a vehicle to reach places in any case.. When you enter Booking and start searching, you will encounter crazy budgets, it’s normal, you are in Mykonos, sorry… If you are a group of 5+ people, we can recommend Colors of Mykonos. We stayed there and we were very satisfied.. Both the rooms were very sweet, they were very hygienic, and they were extremely caring people.. Moreover, it was a 5-minute drive from Mykonos Town.. We would also like to congratulate the photographers they put on their site and booking, because it takes a lot of effort to make such a small pool look like an infinity pool.. Good luck, photographer brother!
*If you don’t like the idea of staying in Colors of Mykonos, you can look at the map and choose based on its location.. If you are going to make your hotel selection according to Mykonos Town and when you look at the map, the location of Colors of Mykonos seems to be very far from the town, don’t think so, it really took like 5 minutes.. Hotels get more affordable prices the farther you get from the town, don’t be put off by thinking “this is far away, of course they are cheaper when you stay at the bottom of hell”, you are on a really small island and if you have a car, it really doesn’t matter where you stay.
Mykonos Travel Guide : Places To Visit In Mykonos
Okay, we know, you didn’t come to Mykonos to visit. But we do not want to pass without mentioning 1-2 places in case there are those among you who want to wander around Mykonos Town after breakfast like us.. Do not worry, we will not write and upload 50 museums.
*Mykonos Town
Mykonos Town, which we have mentioned 858 times above, is the heart of the island. Bars, restaurants, clubs, art galleries, shops, narrow streets where you can’t get enough of taking pictures, they’re all here. Except for the time you spend at the beaches, you’ll most likely spend most of your time here, so you’d better get used to it.. Photographing this region is also a pleasure, as it has the taste of a movie set, and has a strange beauty and sympathy (like the town of the potential lover you are looking for).. I wonder if I should not take a camera with me so that it does not get lost while drunk, put that camera aside and throw it in the suitcase.. No need for thanks……
-We don’t know how anyone who goes to Mykonos doesn’t mention the art galleries here, but one of the things we were hit with the most on the island was definitely the galleries.. We came across such beautiful places and came across such impressive works that we can say that we did not leave a gallery.. Let’s leave the names of a few that you should not miss while wandering around the Town: Gallery Skoufa, The Big White Gallery, Minima Gallery and Rarity Gallery.
-Life in Mykonos Town is until late continues. In other words, you can go to dinner at 11 at night, you can dive into an art gallery at 11:30, you can shop at a store at 12.. In fact, you are more likely to find places that are closed in the morning and open at night.. Therefore, you can plan your time accordingly, there is no panic, we are comfortable.
*Paraportiani Church
One of the churches with the strangest architecture we have seen across the countries we have visited. In our opinion, you should definitely make your way to the Paraportiani Church.. It was not possible to enter it when we were there, but it may be a seasonal thing, if you go and see it, you will tell us.. We think that photography tells enough about its beauty anyway…
*Archaeological Museum of Mykonos
We admit, we didn’t go here either.. When we say we went to a bachelorette party, when are we going to visit a museum? But for those who are interested, for those who have time, we did not want to go without saying that there is such a museum on the island.
*Little Venice
Little Venice is very likely the island’s most touristic point. A place where typical Mykonos houses by the sea and many touristic cafes/bars/restaurants coexist. The houses are reminiscent of Venice as they are at the point where they can be said to be in the water and it takes its name from here.. On the other side, there are windmills where they beat those who return without photographing them.. You can stop by while visiting Mykonos Town as it is a pretty sight and a complete summary of Greece.
Mykonos Travel Guide: Best Beaches of Mykonos
*Scorpios: Scorpios, located in Paraga, the most popular beach of recent times. The place is in a barren area and has a kind of appearance that makes you say “its name is appropriate, there really is a scorpion here”.. But at the same time, of course, there is a nice and minimal space design that will make you say, “Is it a beach, too?”. Scorpios Beach is really successful, but it is debatable whether it is the ideal place to swim.. The sea is not as wonderful as the cove next door and you may not be directly by the sea as the sun loungers are spread out in different parts of the place.. Instead, you can go for one of the most popular beach parties in Mykonos.. It is very popular especially on Sunday evening, it starts around 18:00-19:00 and lasts until night.. Try to go a little early if possible, you won’t miss the sunset, and it will be much easier to get in and find a place.
*Kalua: If you don’t want to swim in Scorpios or have If you couldn’t find it, we can recommend Kalua, the beach right next to it.. It’s so close that you can even walk to Kalua to hang out in Scorpios and swim.. But since we wanted to be directly by the sea, we settled in Kalua and both the sea and the food were very successful.
*Agia Anna Beach: This is in Kalafati beach in the bay of Agia Anna. The sea is really beautiful but it was incredibly windy. Maybe there was an extra wind specific to that day, but it was so strong that it resulted in the sunbed being blown off one of us.. One of the reasons we chose this place in particular was that it was right next to the Spilia restaurant, which we will mention below, one of the ideal bays to spend the day.
*Alemagou: This is a new beach located in Elia bay. We did not have the opportunity to go, but as we heard from the regulars of Mykonos, both the place, the sea and the food were very successful.
*Super Paradise Beach: “The most fun beaches in the world” taste it’s time to come to a beach that we are familiar with from the lists, Super Paradise Beach. The sea here is very beautiful like many beaches in Mykonos.. But the main event is beach parties and entertainment.. Want to go to a gay beach bar? Go to Super Paradise Beach. Do you want to sunbathe naked and swim in the sea? Go to Super Paradise Beach. Do you want to perform your infamous dance moves comfortably with poor quality music? You got it right, go to Super Paradise Beach. By the way, the bay next to it is called Paradise Beach, it tastes like this, you can have a look there if you want.. Also, bear in mind that there is a beach bar in Jackie O‘s Super Paradise in Mykonos Town.
*Nammos: This is Mykonos’s Super Paradise. another beautiful bay located in Psarou and has managed to remain one of the most popular beaches of the island for years. So much so that it has come to the forefront as the beach where celebrities flock before its sea, food or beauty.. The sea is beautiful, but the place is over exaggerated and we think it has nothing to do with it.. Let’s say it’s a place where people who can’t live without a box, addicted to air, or women whose most important purpose in life is to sunbathe, go to the beach with make-up and go to the beach with make-up.. (we couldn’t stop categorizing it) If you’re here, let’s see what’s in Nammos Beach, or if you want to dance with Lindsay Lohan to the accompaniment of “come, come, come, come blonde, come”, you can stop by the beach parties that take place in the evenings.. we are very serious. If we had filmed a series of episodes for our hours in Nammos, it would have been “The One We Partied With Lindsay Lohan”. I guess if we thought for 40 years, we wouldn’t have thought that we would dance with Lindsay Lohan to Come Come My Blonde!. Anyway.
Mykonos Travel Guide: Mykonos Food and Drink Tips
You have so many options for eating and drinking in Mykonos that this is You will be amazed at what you can do about it.. The worst part is (if you call it bad) so many new venues are opening and closing every year, so popular or successful businesses are constantly changing.. Moreover, on an island like Mykonos where people from 2342 nationalities vacation together, of course, there are not only places focused on Greek cuisine, but you can also encounter many successful examples of world cuisine.. We don’t know how many places you can fit on a trip, but we’ve already come up with a list like this:
*Liberty Breakfast Room: The most popular and best place for breakfast across the island. So much so that after we ate here once, we frequented it the other days (which is something we rarely do) and we really enjoyed everything we ate! Even as I write now, we are craving, you must go.. (New Peripheral Road 84600)
*Bonbonniere: Another place you can go for breakfast in Mykonos Town. It turns into a ridiculous place that offers hookah and drink together in the evening, but the breakfast is fine.
*M-eating: We went for dinner after being praised by many, our favorite place even though we are not a big fan. We recommend sea bass tartare as a starter and Lamb Sousvide or Seabass Fillet as a main course.. Reservation is required! (10 Kalogera St, Mykonos Town)
*Bakalo: The place where you can surrender yourself to appetizers if you want to try something focused on Greek cuisine instead of international cuisine. Every appetizer we ate was really successful.. So much so that we managed to attract the attention of the men by ordering 3 of the cheese balls.. Go, no need for thanks, love……
*Spilia: A very successful restaurant that we went to for lunch because it is right next to Agia Anna Beach.. Their prices are slightly above average, but especially their starters and cocktails are really delicious. If you happen to go to the sea in Agia Anna, it is a great idea to go to dinner here.
*Kiki’s Tavern: 100% different from other places on the island, shabby and comfortable. Go eat your fish with your bikini and swimsuit, come back. You can go for lunch (it is closed in the evenings anyway), but let us remind you that it does not take any reservations and you have to wait in line like crazy depending on the day.. (Agios Sostis Beach)
*Mamalouka: A stylish place with a focus on Mediterranean cuisine, where you can go in the evening. The atmosphere is also very nice, it’s crazy to go without a reservation.. (53 Kouzi Georgouli Street)
*Caprice: Cute and touristic place to sit for 1-2 drinks while you’re around Little Venice. If you are going to sit by the sea, think again because the waves can get you drenched due to the wind.. We lived it, we know it from there.
*Koursaros: A very popular place these days where you can stop by for dinner or a drink if you want. Especially the cocktails were quite delicious.. However, it is difficult to find a place, especially for dinner, reservations are required.
-If you are aware, we did not write much about lunch because this business is usually handled at the beaches and many beaches have very good restaurants.. The fact that you are using X Beach’s beach does not mean that you can always have lunch there, because you may not find a place.. For this reason, it may be a good idea to make a separate reservation for the restaurants of the beaches you will visit.
Mykonos Nightlife and Partying: Where to Have Fun?
<
Mykonos is one of the famous places with a crazy entertainment life. As the rumors of “We had such a crazy fun in Mykonos, we went into history, my God,” spread the word, what is happening with the human condition on this island, one cannot help but wonder.. As a duo who took the task of telling the truth and watched Uğur Dündar, we came to reveal the truth! In our opinion, places in Mykonos are not that different from those in Bodrum or Çeşme.. But of course, the comfort of being in a European city is different.. After all, when you are sunbathing naked on the beach, stop looking at you like a mental patient, you are on an island where they do not look back.. Therefore, you can dance comfortably, regardless of your surroundings, and have fun at one of the parties that last until the morning.. But this does not mean that every place in Mykonos is crazy fun, we can even say that places with this taste and love are in the minority.. So it’s all about you and your venue choices.
One of the biggest entertainment-oriented events of Mykonos is definitely beach parties.. Particularly the most popular ones, Nammos and Scorpios, are the ideal places to start the night as the parties that start in the evening can last until 2 am.. If you have to choose between these two, we definitely recommend Scorpios, the place and environment are much more successful and they are not as crazy as Nammos.. (We say that a Mojito is 25 Euros and we keep silent) By the way, there is no charge for entrance to beach parties, you pay for what you drink, so keep this in mind. Don’t look at us saying it like it’s a good thing, when a cocktail is 20 Euros on average, it doesn’t really matter whether you pay something at the entrance or not.. Afterwards, if you intend to continue the night at the same pace, you can throw yourself into Mykonos Town and go to Interni or Moni. If you want a drink in a quieter bar environment, we can recommend Caprice near Little Venice.. This is also an ideal place for a daytime or afternoon drink.
By the way, as you know, one of the most entertaining aspects of Mykonos is the gay bars.. For this reason, the island has plenty of gay visitors. The funniest gay bars you can go to in Mykonos Town are Jackie O’ and the bar next to it Babylon. Frankly, we can name these places as the places where we have the most fun in Mykonos, especially if you go late, it is not possible to get bored, we strongly recommend it.
Some Information and Tips About Mykonos
–Think of Mykonos.. Ok now I found it! His name comes immediately: WHITE HOME WHITE HOME WHITE HOME. So why are all the houses in Mykonos white? The reason is to keep the inside of the houses a little cool on the island, which is super hot in summer.. Although there is no clear explanation for the fact that the doors and windows are usually in blue tones, there are the following possibilities:. The colors of the Greek flag are blue and white. 2. Preventing scorpions from entering homes. We don’t know why scorpions don’t enter houses when the doors are blue.
-While wandering around Mykonos Town, you can see a pelican image or a photo of a pelican on various souvenirs, don’t be surprised, let’s explain it too.. Pelican, one of the symbols of Mykonos. The reason is Petros. Who is this Petros? He is a pelican. He was found injured by a fisherman on the island in the 50s and was treated thanks to him.. But years later, unfortunately, Petros is hit by a car and he dies that way.. I wish they’d named it Kınalı Yapıncak or something instead of Petros, anyway. As a result, Petros becomes the symbol of the island because it is loved by the people of the island.. Today, 3 more pelicans live on the island and they can come across you from time to time.. I. They call them all Petros, so that the glory of Petros may continue.. Long live Petros, bless your soul.
-Let’s leave a general hint about the venues here: Mostly no dress code. In other words, we think that if even the woman we saw wearing converse with those heels (yes, we are serious) can enter some places, everyone can.. However, some places can be a bit more hectic, you know, it would be nice if you didn’t go out with a gray sweatpants and metal band t-shirt that turned into pajamas.. A little care is all it takes.
-Here’s another must-have piece of information in the Mykonos travel guide: The island is very windy! Look, pass the winds of Çeşme or Alaçatı, they are just a story. , to that extent. For this reason, it is useful to buy something to wear on your head, especially for the evenings.. In addition, since the situation is the same during the day, if you are uncomfortable with the wind, maybe you can choose your beach accordingly.. Kalua might be a good choice.
