The island of Mykonos -picturesque, bright and white- is subject to high winds and rough seas on a fairly regular basis in the summer, and many times there is no dock space available for charter yachts in the new marina situated a mile N of the old ferry harbour.
The sailing yachts are the onle vessels permitted to sail when the strong N NW Meltemi wind is blowing and sailing charters can ensure you can for sure visit this famous island though it is wise to have an alternate plan in mind if Mykonos is on your itinerary.

Mykonos is the ultimate party island that attracts the rich & famous and those who want to be like them (or at least trendy enough). Restaurants and other services are expensive but if you're on a budget, there are reasonably priced places too. Pirates used to frequently invade into this island and centuries ago the residents built twisty, narrow lanes and alleyways to confuse them which nowdays it now contributes to the charm of the town. Most of the bars and restaurants are clustered around the harbour promising the wildest kind of night life in the Cyclades.
