Mykonos offers stunning beaches and vibrant island vibes, but budget travelers can thrive by basing in less touristy areas, camping, or visiting in shoulder season to dodge peak prices.
- ●Relax on free public beaches like Platis Gialos or Paradise
- ●Wander Mykonos Town (Chora) alleys for free
- ●Hike to the hilltop windmills at sunset
- ●Explore Ano Mera village and Panagia Tourliani Monastery
Public buses connect beaches and town reliably but fill up in peak summer; ferries from Athens can be cheaper if booked early.
