Mykonos with kids, realistically
July and August are built around bottle service and volume, which is not a children's environment. Ornos and Platis Gialos are the shallow, sheltered, family-normal beaches with frequent boat shuttles along the south coast. Chora is step-free but the lanes are too narrow for a pram once the evening crowd arrives. Delos has no shade and no real cafe, so bring water and closed shoes.
What's actually worth your time in Mykonos
Chora's lanes were deliberately laid out as a disorienting maze to slow down raiding pirates, so getting lost is the design working rather than your failure. The Kato Mili windmills and the waterfront houses of Little Venice carry the sunset crowd. Delos, thirty to forty minutes by boat and open only 1 April to 30 November, is the substantial excursion. Paraportiani is a photo stop.
When the weather turns in Mykonos
Rain belongs to winter here, when most of the island is closed anyway. The actual weather problem is the meltemi, a strong northerly wind that cancels Delos boats at short notice and makes exposed north-coast beaches like Ftelia unusable. The two small museums in Chora cover about two hours between them, which is honestly the extent of the indoor options.
Mykonos's museums, and which one to pick
The Archaeological Museum of Mykonos holds the Mykonos Vase, a seventh-century BC relief pithos carrying one of the earliest known depictions of the Trojan Horse. On Delos, the site museum keeps the original Naxian lions; the row on the terrace outdoors are replicas. The Aegean Maritime Museum and the Folklore Museum in Chora are each an hour, no more.
What to eat in Mykonos
Kopanisti is the island's own cheese, fermented until sharp and peppery, spread on barley rusks with louza, air-cured pork loin. Kremmydopita, onion pie, is the local savoury. Amygdalota almond sweets come from the old-town bakeries. For fish away from harbour pricing, head inland to Ano Mera, or to Kiki's Tavern at Agios Sostis, which has no electricity, no phone and no reservations.
