- What should you visit in Mykonos ? Apart from Mykonos Town and the beaches, is there more ? The answer is yes : the Tourliani Monastery, the Armenistis Lighthouse and some amazing sunset spots, just to name a few !

For anyone liking beer I can't recommend the local brewery enough. They give you a tour with a tasting. Very knowledgeable staff and high quality ingredients. 10/10 quality lager and IPAs.
What is the brewery called?
Thank you for the bakery recommendation! I'll be there on a cruise (on a VERY crowded cruise day unfortunately) so trying to find where i should sample local eats!
The first like!!!
My friend your videos are absolutely amazing. Thank you so much.
I am going to Santorini and Mykonos in May 24’. I have heard there are no taxis? Can you do a video on transport; especially between beaches and the Chora.
❤
There are taxis. And Ubers. But very expensive. That's why everyone rents cars or takes the bus. And yes, videos coming up regarding transportation :-)
Your video is very, very good, well shot and carefully edited and truly captures the vibrant summer life, the unique beaches and the ambience of this island. However, it is a very sad and disappointing thing to know that Mykonos, once the island selected by authors, painters, sculptors and people aiming to experience the natural beauty of this island that was a rather poor stronghold for pirates for centuries has now become a place where prostitution, drugs, alcoholism, rudeness and complete disrespect of almost any lawful behavior rules. Hotels, restaurants, beach bars and cafeterias charge exorbitant prices (usually without issuing any receipt), they employ young Greeks or illegal immigrants at monthly wages below (sometimes way below) the minimum wage, without any social security compensations and having them work 12-14 hour shifts 7 days per week treating them like slaves,, while beach bars and hotels occupy beaches charging ridiculously high prices for an umbrella and two chaise longues, forbidding people who are not willing to use them and pay for them from swimming in the beach (by Greek law all beaches are public and freely accessible to everybody). Much of the tourist economy of the island is in the hands of the Russian mafia and its oligarchs much of the supply of food, equipment and fuel a part of the building business is ruled by the Albanian mafia. Corruption runs high, as you can open any sort of shop almost anywhere if you have "the right connections" and you can build whatever you wish or can afford without feeling restricted by any building permits, Greek laws on the use of land or any public space demarcation. Local Mykonians, once happy and proud of their island, are questioning whether they are going to have the means to keep their properties on the island, are more and more threatened by the shady people that make Mykonos their summer residence and by the myriads of people landing on their island in the summer, as tourists seeing Mykonos as the paradise for heavy drugs, easy free and paid sex, wild partying and a chance to engage in any sort of extreme, unhinged nightlife "entertainment" of all sorts. Mykonos was recently characterized as the "Colombia of the Mediterranean Sea", if that adds a layer of description to the fast, sad and possibly irreversible disintegration of this very beautiful island. What a shameful waste!
Hi Sebastian, I watched your videos and am able to cover the major things in mykonos .....your videos are really helpful and informative....we took the bus from our hotel to fabrica to enjoy windmills, old town and we also covered the guided delos tour ...... thank you so much ❤ Also , I have one restaurant restaurant for all my vegetarian friends , rhino vegan is the best place in mykonos to have some vegan food and enjoy the Mykonos cute alleys and vibes

I believe if you are taking cruise , you wont be able to make it in all area, we just did last week and we were able to do few items windmills, little Venice and walking in surrounding area.
If someone want to eat the best carbonarra or pizza go to cardamomo 😍 is cheap and that smal restaurant has italian guy from Napoli. Just local pepole eatin there :)
Hi Sebastian we are going to Greece for the first time end of April 2024.
Athens and then
Mikonos
Crete
Santorini
I buying the combo to visit the major sites in Athens. I still didn’t buy the tickets ferry to go to the islands. Can you please give me a recommendation? I was thinking to buy when I get there. But I don’t want to take a risk… also what about the money to exchange? Thank you so much.

Hi Sebastian, are you a tour guide as well as own your own tour company in Greece?
I'm a tour guide, yes :-)
You can contact me at @sebi_the_guide on instagram or mail me at sebitheguide@gmail.com
Hi Sebastian, just wondering, I’m at Mykonos at the moment. Is there a reason they choose the color red for the churches instead of the well known blue domes?
Yup. These are private churches, built by families.
A blue dome means it's owned by a fishermen family, green dome for farmers, and red dome for all the others :-)
@@GreeceExplained thanks! Someone told me red is because red is the color of faith or passion, could’ve been true, but thought the connection to painting the church dome that color would be a bit weird. However, kinda expected more blue domes then when it’s blue domes for fishermen! Like 95% of the domes is red haha. Thanks again and have a nice evening!
How is it over Easter
Same as usual. Not better not worse
How can i get to mykonos town from paradise beach resort?
By bus ! I've got a video coming up on Mykonos' bus network so stay tuned :-)
How many days is enough for 1st timer Mykonos
I'd say 3 :
- half a day for Mykonos Town
- 1,5 day for the beaches
- 1 day for the boat trip to Delos.
dumb question: no uber? taxi?
Yes, there are ubers and taxis, with similar rates : 30-40€ for short distances.
