Delos
On Delos, wander among temple ruins, columns and ancient paths on an island steeped in history. Explore the archaeological site together at your own pace, then let the impressions linger on the journey back to Mykonos.
Elia Beach
Along Elia’s wide stretch of coast, you can swim, stroll by the water and simply let your gaze drift across the Aegean. Together, find your own rhythm between time in the sea and a relaxed pause.
Mykonos Town
In the narrow lanes of Mykonos Town, whitewashed houses, blue windows and small churches lead you to a new corner at every turn. Stroll without a set plan, browse galleries and shops, and take a break together.
Ano Mera
In the village of Ano Mera, the monastery of Panagia Tourliani offers a striking glimpse into the island’s history at a gentler pace. Pair your visit with a stroll through the lanes and a meal together at a traditional taverna.
Agios Sostis
At Agios Sostis, Mykonos reveals a quieter, more unspoilt stretch of coast. Walk along the beach, take in the view across the bay, and share a swim or a peaceful pause on the sand.
Our pick for adults
Mykonos Town
Find a spot by the water in Little Venice and watch together as the evening light transforms the colourful houses and the Aegean. Over a drink, wind down the day in each other’s company and enjoy the sea view.
Adults-only hotels in Mykonos combine the feel of a Greek island with a stay where you set your own pace. The Cyclades island in the southern Aegean is known for white houses, narrow lanes, windmills, dry hills and coves with clear water. Alongside lively beach clubs and bars, you will find quiet mornings by the sea, tavernas in small villages and paths through a stark, characterful landscape. An adults-only hotel is particularly well suited to couples looking for a child-free setting, privacy and time together.
Mykonos Town, usually called Chora, is the cultural and urban centre of the island. Between white façades, you will find small squares, shops, galleries, cafés and restaurants. Little Venice, with its houses by the water, is one of the island’s best-known photo opportunities, while the windmills above the waterfront promenade shape the views across the Aegean. During the day, it is worth wandering through the lanes without a fixed destination; in the evening, Chora becomes an ideal starting point for dinner and a stroll by the water.
The coast reveals different sides of Mykonos. Kalo Livadi and Elia Beach lie on sheltered coves and offer room for long beach days. Agios Stefanos is in the north, close to the ferry port, while Ornos, Psarou and Platis Gialos are among the island’s best-known swimming and day-trip destinations. Inland, Ano Mera, with its monastery and tavernas, offers a quieter feel than the capital. If you enjoy walking, combine coastal paths with small roads between fields, stone walls and low hills.
For your holiday as a couple, you can choose your accommodation based on location and style: closer to Chora for evenings in town, above a cove for sea views or directly on the beach for an uncomplicated daily routine. Among the adults-only hotels in Mykonos, you will find both characterful properties and wellness-focused accommodation. Our overviews of adults-only boutique hotels and wellness and spa hotels are a good match.

Late spring and early autumn are ideal if you want to explore the island while also planning relaxed beach days. In high summer, Mykonos is particularly lively; warm days, busy beaches and the Meltemi wind shape the island experience. In May and June, the landscape is still in bloom in many places, while September often offers pleasant conditions for walks, swimming and long evenings. Alongside lightweight clothing, pack a thin layer for windy hours.
The island’s cuisine uses simple, robust ingredients from sea and land. Try Kopanisti, a spicy soft cheese, Louza made from air-dried pork, local sausages, fresh fish and octopus. These go well with tomatoes, olives, bread and a glass of regional wine. In Chora, you will find restaurants suited to a leisurely dinner, while tavernas in places such as Ano Mera show a more down-to-earth side of the island. An evening meal at sunset can then be followed by a stroll through Little Venice.
Mykonos can be reached by plane and ferry. The airport is close to Chora, while the ferry port is in Tourlos. For trips around the island, buses, taxis, hire cars and scooters are common options; depending on your accommodation, a location with good connections may suit your itinerary. A boat trip to Delos adds archaeological interest to your stay. If you would like to combine it with other islands, find inspiration among the adults-only hotels in the Cyclades and the adults-only hotels on Santorini.
