Questions
Quick answers
Which days should I plan around?
The archaeological site and museum of Delos are open daily in summer and close on Tuesdays in the museum's published schedule, and the Delos boats run only from April to November, so put the Delos day on a Wednesday to Monday between those months. The Archaeological Museum of Mykonos also closes on Tuesdays. Everything else runs daily in season; from November to March most restaurants and beach clubs are shut.
How much do the tickets cost?
The Delos boat is €25 return and the site and museum ticket €20 on arrival, or €79 for the guided half-day with everything included. The Archaeological Museum of Mykonos is €5. The windmills, Paraportiani, Little Venice, the monastery at Ano Mera and the beaches themselves are free; sunbeds at the organised beaches are the expensive part, from about €20 a pair at Platys Gialos to far more at the clubs.
How do I get around?
On foot in town, which is closed to cars. The KTEL buses run from two stations, Fabrika for the south beaches and the Old Port for Ano Mera, Elia and the north, every half hour in summer and late into the night, for a few euros a ride paid to the driver. Taxis are few and expensive. A scooter, ATV or small hire car is the practical answer for day three; the roads are narrow and the wind is real.

3 days in Mykonos
Mykonos town is small enough to walk end to end in fifteen minutes, so day one never needs a vehicle until the bus to Ornos beach. Day two is built around the Delos boats, which leave the Old Port at 10:00 and come back at 13:30 in season, leaving the afternoon for the beach buses from Fabrika station. Day three needs a scooter, a hire car or taxis: Ano Mera is 7 km inland, Elia beach is on the far south coast and the lighthouse is at the northwest tip. Delos is closed to visitors in the winter months, the town's museums close on Tuesdays, and the wind, the meltemi, blows hardest in July and August, which is why the plan keeps the north coast for the calm days.
