June and September offer the most comfortable balance of warm weather, lively beach clubs, and slightly thinner crowds than the height of July and August. The meltemi can blow hard here too, since Mykonos sits fully exposed in the central Aegean, so days with strong wind sometimes mean shifting from an exposed western anchorage to a more sheltered bay on the island’s southern or eastern coast.
Mykonos International Airport (JMK) sits about 4 kilometres from Mykonos Town, with direct flights from Athens year-round and from several European cities during the summer season. Guests continuing on to Santorini or other Cycladic islands can usually connect by a short onward flight or, more often, aboard the charter yacht itself.
Ornos Bay and Psarou offer good shelter and easy tender access to beach clubs on the island’s southern coast. When the meltemi is blowing hard from the north, Kalafatis on the eastern side or Panormos in the north can offer calmer water depending on the exact wind direction, so most captains keep more than one option in mind rather than committing to a single anchorage for the day.
Two to three days covers Mykonos Town, a beach club afternoon, and a half-day trip to Delos without feeling rushed. Many charters combine Mykonos with Paros, Naxos, or Santorini as part of a broader Cyclades route, since all three sit within a relatively short sail and offer a different pace than Mykonos’s own busier beaches and nightlife.
For most guests, yes. Delos is a genuinely significant archaeological site, an uninhabited island covered in the ruins of an ancient Greek sanctuary, and it’s reachable only by boat, roughly 30 to 45 minutes from Mykonos Town. The site closes to visitors on Mondays and has no overnight facilities, so it’s worth confirming the day and timing a landing to match the yacht’s own schedule rather than the public ferry timetable.
