To ensure a peaceful, family-oriented experience, it’s important to stay in a calm, quiet area with all the amenities your kids may need. Staying in a noisy area or a hotel full of late-night partiers can make traveling with toddlers or babies challenging. For families, the best option is often a luxury villa equipped with thoughtful amenities for both parents and children.
Mykonos is known for its lively nightlife, entertainment, and appeal to young travelers and groups of friends. Naturally, if you’re in your 30s to 50s with kids, you might wonder if Mykonos is suitable for families or where the best family-friendly accommodations are.
The good news is that Mykonos isn’t just for the younger crowd. It’s a stunning island with gorgeous beaches, a picturesque town, and top-tier tourist facilities. There are plenty of family-friendly activities, but one key factor to consider is your choice of accommodation.
Beaches in Mykonos suitable for families
It is essential to choose a beach that is organized with amenities like umbrellas, and places to buy food and water. While most beaches in Mykonos are equipped in this way, we particularly recommend selecting one that offers water sports facilities, features a tranquil setting shielded from the winds, and has shallow waters.
The top family-friendly beaches in Mykonos that fulfill these criteria are:
- Ornos
- Agios Ioannis
- Agios Stefanos
- Kalo Livadi
Child-friendly activities in Mykonos
Swimming and playing by the sea, along with enjoying water and beach sports, are undoubtedly the top activities for families with children in Mykonos. However, there are plenty of other engaging activities that can help you create lasting memories:
- Island Hopping: Embark on an organized boat tour to explore nearby islets such as Delos and Rhenia. Swim at secluded beaches, watch breathtaking sunsets, and enjoy dinner in complete privacy.
- Open-air Cinema: Experience popular movies under the Aegean sky with your kids. In Greece, foreign movies are shown with Greek subtitles, maintaining their original language.
- Nautical Museum of the Aegean: Situated on Matogianni, the most famous street in Mykonos Town, the museum showcases artifacts from Mykonos’s maritime history.
- The Windmills: Located at the entrance of Mykonos Town, the beautifully preserved windmills offer a great spot for photos to remember your summer vacation.
