What to Do With a rich history, gorgeous architecture, and dazzling natural features, the Greek islands of Mykonos and Santorini offer visitors a unique travel experience unlike anything else in the world.
Considered some of the best in the world, the nightlife scene in Mykonos is not to be missed. With clubs and bars pumping live music through the night, Mykonos offers a fantastic social scene.
Mykonos also has some of the world’s most beautiful beaches. Be sure to spend a day on Paradise Beach. Often considered one of the world’s sexiest beaches, this is one of Mykonos’ most popular spots. With live music, lots of people, and within walking distance to the nightlife scene, this beach is more about fun and entertainment than relaxing in the sand. If you’re looking to a quiet spot, pack your beach bags and sink into the soft sand of Agios Ioannis beach. Considered one of the most beautiful on Mykonos’ southwest coast, this beach is far enough away that it tends to draw fewer crowds.
Visit Mykonos in May through September for world-class windsurfing in the Aegean Sea. Thousands of windsurfers flock to the island to hit the waves and uphaul their sails. Even if you aren’t interested in riding a board yourself, the scene is still worth seeing.
Life on Santorini is better known for its natural beauty than nightlife, and this gorgeous Greek island has a lot to offer. This volcanic island is offers dramatic vistas, stunning sunsets, and unique black sand beaches. Visit the charming village Oia to witness some of the world’s most beautiful sunsets over the sea. The beaches on Santorini are each unique and spectacular in their own right. Climb over rocky trails to the unique Red Beach, named for its red sand and the iron-rich sedimentary rock cliff side that overlook it. Kamari Beach, on the southeastern side of Santorini, is also worth a visit, with its deep blue water and long stretch of black sand. Kamari also offers a wealth of restaurants, cafes, and nightlife close to the beach.
