Staying in Mykonos – Insider tips

• The party schedule is pretty intense, so it’s a good idea to have a few days either side to get yourself situated, and to have a few days to relax before going back to work.
• Try and paces your parties; it’s impossible to do all the events and stay sane. If you can, try and catch the sunrise at the WE Party in Cavo Paradiso, it is magical. The MEAT Party always gets the best reviews from our readers as does the Beach party.
• If you want to stay close to the bars and restaurants, stay in the Old Town, known as Chora (or for some weird reason known as Mykonos City from some booking portals)
• Daytime, gay boys tend to hit the beaches (Mostly around Elia Beach or Super Paradise Beach – Home to Jackie O Beach Club) and at night in the old town for dinner and drinks.
