For my 30th, I visited Mykonos for the first time. Firstly, I want to say I had always dreamt of visiting Mykonos, and the opportunity finally came. My fiancé surprised me with the holiday.
We stayed at Panormos Bay luxury suites and Villas. It’s a 12-minute drive from Mykonos Old Port. Firstly, the villa was exceptional, very clean, impeccable views to look at every morning. We stayed in the Executive Suite 1, which had a private pool.
Every morning, we had a breakfast buffet, which was so lovely to have fresh fruit and authentic Greek yoghurt. The staff were very lovely, and if you wanted an omelette, they would make it for you. The only negative thing I would say is that there are a lot of stray cats, so don’t be surprised if they join you at breakfast. I didn’t enjoy this part as I am not a cat lover.
The other negative thing I can say about Mykonos is that it is not a cheap island to visit. It’s very pricey to order a taxi; it’s about £30 just for a short ride, so not ideal. I would suggest staying in the main town area or renting a car whilst you are out there, as this might be a better option, but let me warn you, watch out for the rocky roads and potholes. Apart from this, it’s actually a beautiful island the people are lovely.
Activities
We went for wine tasting at Traditional farm on day 1, we booked it through this website: https://www.viator.com/tours/Mykonos/Wine-Tasting-Tour-at-a-traditional-farm-in-Mykonos/d958-20715P1.
The wine was delicious, and the service was amazing. The winery is run as a family business. We met a couple from Australia and another from Chicago, so it made the experience even better as it was nice to connect with others from a different country. Alongside the wine, we were served fresh bread, tomatoes, and some dips.
