Ways to save
- Visit in the shoulder seasons (May, early June, September) for hotel rates 30-50% lower than peak summer (July-August), saving €50-€150+ per night.
- Stay in areas like Ornos or Platis Gialos instead of Mykonos Town for accommodation; a double room might be €80-€150/night vs. €150-€300+ in town.
- Utilize the local bus system for transportation between beaches and Mykonos Town; tickets are €1.80-€2.30 per ride, significantly cheaper than taxis (which can be €15-€30 for short distances).
- Eat at local tavernas away from the main tourist areas for more authentic and affordable meals; a souvlaki or gyros pita can be €3-€5 vs. €15-€25 for a main course in a tourist-trap restaurant.
- Buy groceries and make some of your own meals, especially breakfast and lunch, to save significantly; a loaf of bread, cheese, and ham for sandwiches might cost €5-€7 vs. €10-€15+ for a cafe breakfast.
- Enjoy free activities like exploring Mykonos Town's charming alleys, relaxing on public beaches (Paradise, Super Paradise), and watching the sunset from Little Venice without buying overpriced drinks (saving €10-€20+ per drink).
- Limit expensive clubbing; a drink at a popular club can be €15-€25+, while a beer from a supermarket is €1.50-€3.
- Consider booking accommodation with a kitchenette to prepare simple meals, saving on daily dining costs.
