Yes. December in Mykonos is Calm on the typical day, and not one of the 31 days in our window is crowded enough to call Busy. Expect around 16 °C by day, with rain on about 10 days. The crowd comes with the school holidays in Germany, the Netherlands and France. Cruise ships call on 1 of the 31 days. Early December is the month's quietest stretch in Mykonos — the typical day at 14%, against 32% in late December. The crush is at Chora's lane maze; the quiet is at Delos beyond the agora. The calmest day is Tuesday 1 December, the busiest Friday 25 December.
In short, a genuinely good window to pick.
Among the 12 months we forecast for Mykonos, December ranks 8th for crowd pressure. Its heaviest day is Fri 25 Dec, busier than 36% of the year; its lightest is Tue 1 Dec at 14%.
You won't need skip-the-line tickets here — that's rather the point. A month like this is the one for the longer visit — the guided walk, the food tour, the day out of town, with room and time to enjoy them. see what's on →
Pack for wet first — rain on 10 of 31 days.
