Mykonos Holiday Reviews

The food at Sultanas, as expected from Turkish cuisine - was delicious, but the entertainment just topped off a great night. If you are after a laid back, fun atmosphere then I would definitely recommend a visit.

Ornos is a pretty resort, very small with a lovely sandy beach (about 800 yards long) sloping quite gently into the sea. Beach bars/restaurants all along with sunbeds at 10 euros for the two per day. And they were comfy and padded. Behind the beach is a road with 5 or 6 more reastuarants and a few bars.

So basically Ornos is small but there's enough if you just want beach, meal and a drink. Buses into Mykonos town are every 30 mins and run into the middle of th night and were 1.40 euros each way taking about 10 minutes.

Mykonos town is much larger with narrow backstreets, designer shops, nightclubs, bars and a nice harbour.

So all good so far.....but......now comes the bad bit...

Weve been to lots of islands and its lovely to have cocktail, a meal with a bottle of wine, and a few beers later......but not in Mykonos unless you are rather wealthy.

Mykonos town and Ornos were the only towns we saw, they are chic and upmarket with corresponding price tags.

We went into Mykonos just once and after being charged 16 euros for a cocktail, 7 euros for a 330ml bottle of Mythos and 50 euros for a seafood meal shared with my wide with just a tzaziki, a glass of wine and a small beer - we didn't go back!

Ornos was a bit better but not a lot. 4.5 euros for a beer on the beech. Most nights we ate in Ithiki restaurant on the beach which is highly recommended, especially the seafood which we ate a lot partly becuase I'm on a diet and partly becuase a steak was 26 euros! Most nights we shared a starter, had a seafood dish, a glass of wine and s beer and it was nearly 50 euros which is expensive for Greece.

We just arent used to this and its sad when you start thinking about money on holday so its back to Skiathos in September and never to Mykonos again.
