Mykonos Beginner’s Guide [ALL THE BASICS in 4 min]

If you get motion sickness, avoid the fast ferries at all costs. Much better to fly in to the island of Mykonos and if you're also going to Santorini, fly out to Athens and fly from there to Santorini.

Best thing we did was to try the local beer brewery. 10/10 tour and tasting for those who like beer.

[@alexbatson]

What was it called?

[@GarsonProduction]

@@alexbatson The beer was called Mykonu if I recall right. You will find it if you google or ask around. It was great.

Good, honest video about the basics. You missed a good chance to highlight how small the island really is by putting the length of the runway of the airport in comparison to the 'height' of the island. It's like 20% 😂 But I really doubt that you can find a Pita Gyros in Chora for €5, that would be cheap even for western Europe. More €8-10 in 2024.

Should we get reservations in Alefkandra for lunch? where do you recommend to eat?

[@GreeceExplained]

I ll be releasing a video on Mykonos' best restaurants in a few weeks :-)

[@Denileism]

I can’t find any of your other Mykonos videos and no links came up when you were pointing 😢 my partner and I are spending a week in Mykonos Town from July 15th to July 25th. Can you link these videos please?

[@GreeceExplained]

Hi Terry ! This is my first vid on Mykonos. Many more to come in the following days :-)

[@frenchygigi]

Want to do a mykonos and Santorini elopement do you recommend 2 or 3 full days in Mykonos?

[@lenkajasikova324]

Hello :) is it possible that at beaches in Mykonos are cheaper prices for umbrellas in early June? I was read somewhere that in some bars/restaurants are some umbrellas at beaches at free in early June is it true? thanks

[@GreeceExplained]

Nope I dont believe that's true. Free umbrellas are not a thing in Mykonos, not even during shoulder season :-)

[@susheel170]

I booked flight to Athens on April 24 and plan to visit Santorini .. is it good an idea to visit Mykonos from Santorini? Is it worth the visit ? Or should go back to Athens ?

[@GreeceExplained]

Yes its a good idea :-)

[@sagrisharma4637]

We are planning for 1st April in mykonos. Is it good time to go?

[@GreeceExplained]

For walking around Mykonos Town it will be perfect. But the sea will still be very cold so I dont think you'll enjoy swimming.

It is a very sad and disappointing thing to know that Mykonos, once the island selected by authors, painters, sculptors and people aiming to experience the natural beauty of this island that was a rather poor stronghold for pirates for centuries has now become a place where prostitution, drugs, alcoholism, rudeness and complete disrespect of almost any lawful behavior rules. Hotels, restaurants, beach bars and cafeterias charge exorbitant prices (usually without issuing any receipt), they employ young Greeks or illegal immigrants at monthly wages below (sometimes way below) the minimum wage, without any social security compensations and having them work 12-14 hour shifts 7 days per week treating them like slaves,, while beach bars and hotels occupy beaches charging ridiculously high prices for an umbrella and two chaise longues, forbidding people who are not willing to use them and pay for them from swimming in the beach (by Greek law all beaches are public and freely accessible to everybody). Much of the tourist economy of the island is in the hands of the Russian mafia and its oligarchs much of the supply of food, equipment and fuel a part of the building business is ruled by the Albanian mafia. Corruption runs high, as you can open any sort of shop almost anywhere if you have "the right connections" and you can build whatever you wish or can afford without feeling restricted by any building permits, Greek laws on the use of land or any public space demarcation. Local Mykonians, once happy and proud of their island, are questioning whether they are going to have the means to keep their properties on the island, are more and more threatened by the shady people that make Mykonos their summer residence and by the myriads of people landing on their island in the summer, as tourists seeing Mykonos as the paradise for heavy drugs, easy free and paid sex, wild partying and a chance to engage in any sort of extreme, unhinged nightlife "entertainment" of all sorts. Mykonos was recently characterized as the "Colombia of the Mediterranean Sea", if that adds a layer of description to the fast, sad and possibly irreversible disintegration of this very beautiful island. What a shameful waste!

Wow! Interesting viewpoint.

[@stavrosnanos1135]

How about incets

[@AudiophileTubes]

Hopefully, you meant 'insects' and not 'incest'! 😄
