MYKONOS in August

by sierralyndon - last update: Aug 16, 2005

We visited Mykonos in August at the height of the tourist season, but still found that there were plenty of chances for some peace and quiet.

We chose Mykonos very much as a last minute thing, not knowing very much about it. I have to say this was probably the first time I agreed to a holiday without really finding out much about the place I was going to. I had a look at a couple of websites, searched through some VT member pages and just went for it. Only later did I start reading more and more about how it could get pretty wild and hedonistic there - something I SO was not looking for, as I really wanted not much more than relaxing on the beach and hotel pool.

However, my worries were unfounded. Mykonos is a great place whatever kind of beach holiday you're looking for - there's quiet and there's noisy.

People were great - I did not meet anyone who was even remotely impolite in the shops, restaurants or hotel, as you quite often do in places jaded with tourists. Everyone was just really, really friendly and nice.

We will be back!
