If you want to party, head to Mykonos. Part Manhattan, part Ibiza, this sun drenched island is still going strong. Here are our picks for a first rate trip to this Greek playground.
Sleep: The Belvedere has bright, airy rooms and the best pool scene in town, or Mykonos Grace, on the sandy and protected beach of Agios Stefanos, is sophisticated and calm.
Eat: The best lunch is Nammos at Psarou Beach. This trendy open-air restaurant serves up casual Greek fare in the dining area, at the bar, or beachside. After lunch soak up some rays under a cane-wrapped sunshade at the beach club. For dinner, try Interni, a courtyard restaurant/bar decorated in white, for Asian fusion cuisine. For Mediteranean food, hit Azzurro at the Old Port in Mykonos Town; and for sushi, there’s Matsuhisa Mykonos in the Belvedere.
Sunset: Little Venice is the place to be at sunset for cocktails and breathtaking views over the port.
Nightlife: Remezzo, along the harbor, is the perfect bar to chill and dance with a diverse crowd. Scandinavian Bar is a popular place with a live DJ and dancing upstairs every night. Caprice is a classy bar in Little Venice. Cavo Paradiso is the ultimate weekend club where the party starts at 6am on a cliff on Paradise Beach. Big name DJs like Sasha, Carl Cox and Deep Dish spin during June, July and August.
Shopping: Silver silver silver. Don’t leave town without buying some local jewelry at Kessaris Jewelry.
