The Authentic Side of Mykonos Town

Mykonos is a location near the top of many traveler’s bucket lists, and as such it is victim to many of the common problems of such popular locations. Overly anglicized cuisine (in some locations), and streets that are noisy from the early hours in the morning to… well, the early hours of the morning. However, the fact that it is so popular shouldn’t turn away potential visitors and smart travelers who know how to get off the beaten path - there is much more to Mykonos than its (deservedly) famous party scene. Mykonos town is filled with quaint shops, excellent restaurants, classy cocktail bars, and intriguing art galleries. Not to say that one shouldn’t party a little in Mykonos - check out our post about the Nammos Beach Club for more info about that - a visit to Mykonos would not be complete without experiencing some of the other wonderful attractions on offer. The 180 Degrees Sunset Bar offers some of the best cocktail hour views in all of the Greek Isles, and a visit to the Rarity Gallery will remind you that beauty exists both in nature and the human brain. You could spend an endless number of days meandering the streets of Mykonos town; popping into charming mom & pop shops, noshing on fresh octopus at one of the many seafront bars, and grabbing sundowners at Caprice in Little Venice, one of the most charming neighborhoods Mykonos has to offer.

180-degree sunset bar: great for sunset drinks!
