cheffip Posted April 28, 2017 #1 Share Posted April 28, 2017 My wife and I have a stop at Mykonos on our eastern Med cruise this fall. Our second time there...first time we did a very enjoyable DIY to Delos plus exploring the town. I was looking for something new like an island tour this time, but the ship's tour is very expensive and I can't find any local tours through TripAdvisor. Any suggestions? I was also wondering about part of the day at the beach (if it's warm enough) and some time in town. If so, what's a good DIY beach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Hlitner Posted April 28, 2017 #2 Share Posted April 28, 2017 So you have two different issues and solutions. For beaches you could simply use the local bus to go to a place like Paradise Beach. But if you want to see more of the island you might want to consider just renting a car and driving yourself. Hank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annie99 Posted April 29, 2017 #3 Share Posted April 29, 2017 The weather should be lovely for October. Take the shuttle into town and enjoy walking around this lovely little place. Lots of cafes around the old harbour for a coffee or lunch.I wore shorts at that time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheffip Posted May 4, 2017 Author #4 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Thanks Hank and Annie The cruise has enough long touring days that I think it will be enjoyable just to hang out at Mykonos Town and say hi to Petros the pelican :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iancal Posted May 5, 2017 #5 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Perfect time to go. As the OP said, why not rent a car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Milhouse Posted May 10, 2017 #6 Share Posted May 10, 2017 We also did Mykonos twice in October. The first time we just explored Mykonos Town. The second time, we took the bus to Super Paradise beach and lounged a bit at a restaurant. It was relatively quiet. We hiked it over to a few beaches to the west. Parts of the hike were kind of rugged. We had enough time to head back and do a quick walk through Mykonos Town again. If I had to do it over again, as others mentioned, I'd consider renting my own wheels to allow for easier access to explore other beaches as many of them are not easily connected by trail along the beach.

psujmatt Posted May 11, 2017 #7 Share Posted May 11, 2017 If you dock (not tender) there is a beach within walking distance of the ship. It isn't the most famous but is convenient. Six years ago the water temperature in early October was quite cold by my standards, but many people were enjoying it. I don't really want to venture a guess on the temperature.
