Tips for driving in Mykonos
Hiring a car is a great way to explore the island of Mykonos. We’d recommend using GPS to navigate the Greek road network. Be aware that roads can be narrow in towns and villages as well as in rural areas and road surfaces can vary in remote parts of the island. As in the rest of mainland Europe, you’ll be driving on the right-hand side of the road as you set off from Mykonos Airport. If you have not driven in this part of the world before, we’d advise checking the road rules for driving in Greece before you set off.

While many people come to Mykonos for its stunning white sandy beaches and glamourous nightlight, there are plenty of other attractions on the island from picturesque towns and villages to historic sites and breathtaking natural beauty.
First off, wander the cool, white-washed streets of Mykonos town, exploring narrow alleyways to discover independent shops and tucked away eateries. Step inside the remarkable 500-year old Paraportiani Church. Head to the old port and soak up the waterfront atmosphere. Take a walk to see the iconic Kato Milli windmills which are among the island’s most photographed places. Finally stroll across to Little Venice to watch the sun go down.
Away from Mykonos town, its just a 6-mile drive outside town to Ano Mera village in the greenest part of the island to see the remarkable Monastery of Paleokastro which dates back to the 18th century.
Another day, head off the beaten track to discover some of the most unspoiled golden beaches on the other side of the island including Agios Sostis or Fokos Bay for a taste of the simple life.
