Why we expect this today
- 5 cruise ships in port, carrying at least 10,587 guests between them
How to avoid the worst of it today
- Delos First boat A morning among the lions and mosaics, back before Chora's worst hours.
- The south beaches Late morning On peak days the famous beds are gone by morning; book one or go north to Agios Sostis.
- Mykonos Town Before 11:00 The lanes and the windmills are a different island early; photograph now, shop later.
- Little Venice An hour before sunset Claim a table early, or take the same light free from the windmill ridge.
Where the crowds are
- Chora's lane maze: Matoyianni and the seafront lanes go to single file on cruise afternoons.
- Little Venice & the windmills at dusk: The nightly sunset theatre; seats go an hour ahead.
Quiet places in Mykonos
- Delos beyond the agora: Past the theatre quarter the sacred island is empty, even at peak.
- Ano Mera: Monastery, square and tavernas; the interior's answer to Chora.
