We're thinking about spending the whole day at SantAnna before Black Coffee. Is reserving sunbeds (2 Pers) a must, or can we usually get a decent spot if we arrive around 11 AM?

Hi everyone,

My wife and I (both 30+) will be in Mykonos from June 19–23 and we're staying in Chora. We’ll have a rental car for the entire trip. Last trip before we become parents.

Happy to spend on quality, but we'd like to avoid tourist traps. My wife doesn't drink, and I'll have 1–2 beers at most since I'll be driving.

Our current plan:

Friday (arrival)

• Explore Chora / Little venice / Windmills
• Dinner in town - Question 2

Saturday

• Southern beach - a beach day in beach bar? - Question 3
• In the evening, we're going to an event at Scorpios

Sunday

• Explore the island by car, Viewpoints, Scenic roads, Photo spots
• Restaurant and a Freddo Capuccino with a nice view - Question 4

Monday

• A quieter beach bar
• Lunch by the beach
• Last full day on the island - Question 5

Tuesday

• Flight back to Heraklion at 8 PM
• We'd still like to spend some time at the beach, but don't want to drive all over the island on our last day - Question 6

Questions:

1. Does this itinerary make sense overall, or would you rearrange Saturday/Sunday/Monday?
2. Any recommendations for a chic restaurant in Chora for Friday evening? Interni?
3. Which lively beach/beach bar in the south would you recommend for Saturday? (Psarou, Paraga, Platis Gialos, somewhere else?)
4. Is Sunday a good day for island exploration, or would you swap it with one of the beach days? What are the must-see spots for a day exploring the island by car? Is there a Mountain View?
5. Which quieter beach would you recommend for Monday? Any good beach bars or restaurants right on that beach?
6. Which beach would you recommend for Tuesday before our evening flight, ideally not too far from Chora or the airport?

Thanks a lot for any recommendations

My wife and I (mid-30s) will be staying in Mykonos from June 19–23. My wife is pregnant, so we're looking for relaxed days rather than beach clubs or parties.

We're staying in Mykonos Town near the windmills and are considering renting a buggy for 2 days. Would you recommend Sunday + Monday or Saturday + Sunday?

Also, which beach would you choose for Sunday, knowing it's usually one of the busiest days on the island?

We're looking for:

• beautiful scenery
• calm atmosphere
• comfortable access by buggy
• decent food nearby
• not too crowded if possible

Would you choose Agios Sostis, Agios Ioannis, Kalo Livadi, Kalafatis, Fokos, or somewhere else?

We're also open to doing a full sightseeing day with the buggy rather than spending the whole day at one beach. If Sunday is particularly crowded, we'd be happy to explore different parts of the island, stop at a few beaches, visit viewpoints, Ano Mera, the lighthouse, or any other scenic spots you would recommend.

Any suggested route, beach recommendations, or advice from locals and recent visitors would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
