I am planning a trip to Mykonos this August and I would appreciate any information or tips about what to see there and where to stay.
Response:
We stayed at a place a little up the hill – but very easy commute – to Mykonos center. the name of the place is Hotel Jason and I have provided some links below where you can read additional reviews check pricing. We did find Mykonos to be a little more expensive than some of the other islands (not terribly, just a little more). Book ahead because August is busy. We went in late September and there were not a lot of rooms available on the island.
If you are going to be there a while, I might recommend you also travel to and stay at some of the other islands within a couple hour ferry ride away, or even further. For example; Paros and it’s little neighbor Antiparos is not far away and nice. This would also be approximately a half way point if you then wanted to continue on to the famous Santorini.
