More about this part of Greece
Myknos is a part of the Cyclades Islands and is nestled between the main islands of Tinos, Syros, Paros and Naxos, with the sacred island of Delos and pastoral Rhenia also close by. As a result, Mykonos is excellent to incorporate into a multi-island Cyclades luxury yacht charter that will take guests to see ancient ruins, bustling beach parties, magnificent dive sites and the various sea creatures that call this region home.
Mykonos Yacht Charter Experiences
Mykonos is famed as a jet-set destination and it is visited by many a tourist who is on a Greece luxury yacht charter vacation. Visitors to this island will encounter great entertainment, loud music, dance clubs, numerous boutiques, chic restaurants and fabulous little cafes. It is an ideal destination for those seeking real entertainment and nightlife, combined with glamour and Greek charm.
Stroll the streets of Mykonos Town (Chora) lined with white houses and chic boutiques or visit some of the numerous museums and picturesque little churches; all this while enjoying the sweet perfume of bougainvillea, geraniums mixed with the Mediterranean breeze and salty air.
Little Venice and the renowned hilltop windmills in Mykonos Town are places not to be missed on a Mykonos yacht vacation: This district earned its name for the rows of houses with balconies overlooking the sea that were originally built by captains and affluent merchants. The famed windmills were constructed by the Venetians in the 16th Century to mill flour, and although there are many windmills spread around the Island, Kato Mili in Little Venice is one of the most easily accessible sites, where they stand in a row overlooking the sea to harness the strong northern winds.
Numerous bars, restaurants and little shops and galleries enhance the lively atmosphere of this location, where lovers often stop by to watch the spectacular sunset.
In addition to Little Venice, Chora has another landmark in Panagia Paraportiani which is Mykonos's most photographed church and dates back to 1425. In Greek its name means 'Our Lady of the Side Gate' in relation to the entrance to the Kastro neighbourhood where it is built. Unusually, four joined churches constitute its base, upon which the fifth church was constructed.
The Archaeological Museum of Mykonos is now over a century old and represents one of the oldest museums in Greece. It houses findings from the Putrefaction Pit of 425/426 BC, discovered in 1898 on the islet of Rheneia by D. Stavropoulos.
The Aegean Maritime Museum, founded in 1983, showcased the study of Greek maritime history and tradition, and is also well worth a visit. The oldest house on the island is home to the Folklore Museum with a collection of 19th century furniture, jewellery, ceramics, embroideries, marble sculptures, tombstones and a variety of other trinkets. There are also many models of 19th-century Mykonian ships, maps, as well as an anchor and a cannon used during the Greek War of Independence. Lena's House Folk Museum is on the same street and the Kapopoulos Fine Arts gallery is nearby, forming an easy and satisfying stroll through a compact section of Mykonos Town.
When you've had your fill culture, head to Matoyianni Street for the charming boutiques down the old narrow streets. Stay for the indulgent restaurants and glamorous nightlife, or get in some later afternoon sunbathing in seclusion to the north, or join the party along the southern beaches.
Away from Mykonos, Rhenia Island and Delos are just a short cruise and both are more relaxed and underdeveloped. Only accessible by yacht, these uninhabited islands are distinctly different from Mykonos and make a super destination for charter guests to see on a day dedicated to playing with the water toys and unwinding in the sunshine with friends and family.
Things to Consider:
Yachting Seasons & Climate:
The Mediterranean yacht charter season begins in May with the Cannes Film Festival and closes with the Monaco Grand Prix in late September. The Eastern Mediterranean experiences hotter temperatures than the South of France, and visitors on a luxury yacht charter will find temperatures around 23°C/73°F from late April to early May.
From May until October the temperatures average around 23°C/73°F and have the potential to peak above 30°C/86°F. Snorkelers and Scuba divers who enjoy warm sea temperatures will want to visit between July and September.
Clothing to Pack For Your Charter:
Away from the beaches, a smart-casual dress code is fine for the cafes and restaurants, while shoulders and thighs should be covered during visits to religious sites. With daylight in the summer extending to 14 hours, guests should take a long-sleeved covering layer for the most intense periods of the day, accompanied by plenty of sun screen.
Main Ports and Marinas:
Mykonos Port
Famous Restaurants & Clubs:
Nammos Mykonos, D'Angelo Mykonos Restaurant, Nikos Gallop Restaurant
A Must See Attraction:
Archaeological Museum of Mykonos, The Windmills, Paraportiani Church, Matoyianni Street, Kapopoulos Fine Arts, Lena's House Folk Museum
Best beaches to visit in your yacht:
Agios Stefanos Beach, Ornos Beach, Psarou Beach, Paraga Beach, Agia Anna Beach, Kalafati Beach, Frangias Beach, Vathia Lagada Beach, Merchia Beach, Fokos Beach, Mirsini Beach, Agios Sostis Beach
Best time to go:
The summer months are the busiest for the Eastern Mediterranean, when all of the most important tourist sites will be open for business. Mid-May to June and September through to mid-October avoids the busy school holidays. Those looking for a more relaxed luxury yacht charter would be best to visit in the spring and autumn shoulder seasons, avoiding November through to February when temperatures are coolest and rainfall is highest, although on a multi-island charter it would be easy to simply cruise on to the sunshine.

Client Testimonials
What our clients say about their charter experience.
An Amazing Experience: My company is VIP Yacht Charter Group where I offer Glatt Kosher Yacht charters. I transitioned from day to term charters and was looking for a company and broker that I could trust. I reached out to Trina and explained to here that I have a client that was looking to do a week Glatt Kosher charter in the South of France. I knew from our initial call that she was the right person to work with. Trina is extremely knowledgeable in the charter world. The Yacht she recommended was Zeemar a 100ft, 5 stateroom beauty, and there couldn't have been a better yacht and crew for this client. Trina went above and beyond to make sure that everything went perfectly from communicating with the client to Captain and even provisioner. She was always available to talk no matter what time it was. I am so grateful to Trina that this charter went way beyond the clients' expectations.
Working with our charter broker, Trina Howes, was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Her knowledge, professionalism and responsiveness were exceptional. She made the entire charter planning process effortless and took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and matched us with the perfect yacht and crew. We cannot say enough wonderful things about the incredible crew who made our yacht charter such an unforgettable experience. From the moment we stepped aboard until the very last goodbye, they made us feel genuinely welcomed, cared for, and completely at home. Every member of the crew went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect- from exceptional meals and impeccable service to thoughtful surprises and personalized touches that made our trip feel truly special. Our overall experience was absolutely wonderful. We look forward to hopefully working together again on future adventures!
Sally, we had the BEST time on the charter, we loved Captain Niksa and his crew. What we loved about the boat was the layout and its expansiveness, and how thoughtfully every detail was considered for guests. It was the most quiet and solid boat we've ever been on, there was very little rocking even on windy or stormy days. The layout of the boat was very accommodating for a party of our size -- many boats don't have a lot of uncovered deck space, to hang out; we really loved the top level where there was room to lay out, everyone enjoyed the hot tub and we also love the front area where we watched movies at night, or had a quiet space to be away from a crowd if you wanted to be. And of course, enjoyed the dining area where we had our meals and played lots of games. Also, it was the first boat we've chartered/been on where we actually made use of the interior salon -- it actually felt like a natural extension of the exterior. We all felt like we had lots of room for our things as well as for ourselves-- we never felt crowded. We also loved the toys - we made good use of the seabobs and paddle boards every day, and we got in some wakeboarding and waterskiing. The crew was very professional and always attuned to our needs. We also felt in very good hands from a navigation and safety perspective in all circumstances. Captain Niksa's knowledge of all cruising areas (from the best places to anchor, to spend the night and have the best views, to where to go for lunch, to which areas to avoid (like for jellyfish for example) added to the overall joy of the trip! Niksa was also on top of the weather - he was prepared in advance for every contingency. His workmanship and care for his boat and crew were evident in all his actions. The crew were very pleasant, responsive, and attentive without being intrusive. Our cabins were spotless, laundry was perfectly done without incident. We all loved the laundry detergent it smelled so good! Thumbs up to areas cruised. We had a mix of smaller and bigger islands, with visits to quaint little towns. Again, Captain Niksa's knowledge of these areas, and where to go, where to eat off the boat etc.-- all great. Breakfasts were a nice mix of yogurts, croissants/breads, prosciutto, fruit platters, jams and local honeys, local specialties, your choice of eggs as you liked, and generally pancakes or waffles. Breakfasts were a universal thumbs up. Lunches: always a mix of grilled fish and some kind of meat, along with green salad and another salad of couscous or quinoa and vegetables and a dessert. We loved the chef's salad dressings, and his desserts were a huge hit. The fish was always fresh and simply prepared (which we liked). One day we had tuna poke bowls (or chicken if you didn't like fish), and that was a huge hit with everyone. Dinners: again, we liked to eat simply prepared fishes/meats, with vegetables /salads. Most meals we ate family style as we liked and finished off with delicious desserts. We loved every minute on Acapella, and have already recommended the boat to our friends. What made the trip so special was not only the boat itself -- great boat for a group of mixed ages-- something for everyone -- but the crew, and the charming and endearing Captain Niksa.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for the very best family vacation we have ever had! The boat is perfect, built by hand with love and passion. The food is second to none. The service was incredible and always with a warm smile. And the scenery in Croatia was poetic. We will never have a better vacation, and we owe it all to you!! I am sure we will be back.
Thank you so much for a wonderful week here in Croatia! You made our experience very memorable. How Acapella came to be is an amazing and inspiring story. The entire crew was amazing and very gracious. We enjoyed all the special and delicious meals. Thanks again, we will be back!
Thank you so much for the most amazing 10 days. This trip was more than any of us could have imagined. We all felt at home the moment we stepped on board. The memories are unforgettable. You all have been absolute angels. Thank you for making my birthday unforgettable. I truly hope to be back again!
