1. Cave Hotels

For our luxury staying in Mykonos we chose Cavo Tagoo Mykonos. Have you ever heard about this place before? It´s the most popular accommodation in Mykonos island and there are cave pools inside the room. There are also infinity pools and an amazing view to the sunset.

The design is so cool in the room and common areas. The vibe and food is amazing. The location is great close to the town and the new port and 5 kilometers far from the airport. They provide free shuttle to go around.

One of the most charming places in Mykonos is located right by the famous windmills. Little Venice is a waterfront area filled with restaurants, bars, house cafes and shops built right in the water, some of which with wonderful balconies where you can hang out, eat and drink.

This is another excellent place to see the sunset and have a lovely dinner. Just make sure to call and reserve seats to the restaurant of your choice as Little Venice gets pretty crowded from afternoon till night.

The windmills in Chora make up 7 out of 16 windmills found in the island and is one of the best spots to watch the sunset in Mykonos. Tourists visit the site to take pictures of the windmills themselves and the fantastic scenery from the hill.

Another nice place to explore in the island is the old port at Mykonos Town. Aside from being the port for high-speed catamarans, the area is also very scenic and is a great place to go people-watching. Its winding narrow streets lined with white houses, shops and restaurants make it a pleasant area to walk around. Sunset is the best time to walk around the port, sunsets are so colorful.
