It falls in peak fortnight regardless, so the usual August moves apply harder: Delos on the earliest boat, Chora early in the morning, a booked sunbed or the free northern sand at Agios Sostis. Ano Mera's monastery square is the island's calm centre. advice

How we verified this.
Is Mykonos worth visiting during Dormition of the Virgin?
Packed on the event day. our forecast
Worth it if Dormition of the Virgin is why you're coming — expect Packed days; if crowds are your concern, it is the one time to avoid. advice
Where are the crowds in Mykonos during Dormition of the Virgin?
The processions are the island's own — at the churches and through the lanes of Chora and the villages — and they arrive when the island is already at its August peak, so the crowd is the summer's crowd plus the feast's.
Our crowd forecast is an informed estimate, not a guarantee — check with the organiser and/or local authorities before you plan around it.
our forecast marks a number we worked out from published data; advice marks something we think. Never the other way round.
