The best time to visit Mykonos for your honeymoon
The best time to visit Mykonos is between spring and early fall (April to October). Summer is the most crowded season in Mykonos, as the island overflows with moguls and celebrities. However, summer is the best season for those who want to visit the gorgeous Mykonos beaches, as the water is warm during this time of the year. July and August are the peak months of the tourist season, so Mykonos tends to be overcrowded -especially Mykonos Town. Peak season is also the most expensive and overbooked season in Mykonos and the entire Cyclades group. So we suggest that you book as far in advance as you can, i.e. 6-12 months earlier. If you want to enjoy a more laid-back version of the island, opt for April, May, September, and October. These months are perfect for those looking for peace and tranquility, as the island isn’t packed with tourists and the hotels aren’t booked up.
Where to stay in Mykonos for your honeymoon
The infamous windmills in Mykonos
When it comes to the perfect area to stay in Mykonos on your honeymoon, location is everything! A good location can really elevate your stay, so we suggest opting for a seaside area. Being near the beach not only offers never-ending Aegean vistas from your room but also easy access to the shore all day long.
Chora Mykonos

Mykonos beaches are famous not only for their cosmopolitan flair and legendary beach parties, but also for their natural beauty and clean waters. If you are in the mood for a party, then Psarou and Super Paradise beaches are ideal. But, if beach parties are not your jam, head to Ornos, Agios Ioannis, and Platys Gialos.
