What June is like in Mykonos

June is the best balance on Mykonos. Highs sit near 79F (26C), the sun shines nearly every day, and the sea is finally warm enough for long swims. Full beach season and nightlife are running, but without the August crush. Early June is noticeably cheaper than late June, and restaurants in Little Venice can often be booked a day or two ahead.

It suits nearly everyone: families, couples, and partygoers alike. Families do especially well, with calm beaches and less late-night noise than midsummer. The only travelers who should look elsewhere are those on a tight budget, who will find late May or early October easier on the wallet.

Make the most of June

What is especially good about Mykonos this month.

Calm family beaches

Agios Ioannis, Ornos, and Platis Gialos have shallow, calm water and easy facilities, perfect for kids in June.

Delos before the winds

The summer meltemi winds usually build later, so June boat crossings to Delos are more reliable than in July and August.

Nightlife without the crush

Beach clubs and bars are open and lively, but you can still find a spot without booking weeks ahead.

Early June prices

The first half of the month offers full summer at noticeably lower hotel rates.

What to pack for June

Swimwear and a quick-dry towel
High SPF sunscreen and a wide-brimmed hat
Light, breathable clothing
Comfortable sandals for Chora's stone lanes

Our timing tip

Book the first two weeks of June for full summer at lower prices, and take the first boat of the morning to Delos.

Things to do in Mykonos

Full guide

Delos

Boats leave from the old port in the morning and the site has almost no shade. Go on the first boat, bring water, and note that strong winds can cancel crossings.

Tickets and tours →

Little Venice at sunset

Balconied houses right on the water facing west. Arrive an hour early for a seat, or watch from the windmills just above.

Tickets and tours →

The windmills of Kato Mili

The row of 16th-century windmills on the ridge above Chora. Early morning gives you them to yourself.

Tickets and tours →

Getting lost in Chora

Walk the lanes behind Matoyianni Street before 10am, when the shops are shut and the cruise groups have not arrived.

Tickets and tours →

Ano Mera and Panagia Tourliani

The island's inland village and its 16th-century monastery. A calmer slice of Mykonos with a village square lunch.

Tickets and tours →

Armenistis Lighthouse

A windswept headland in the northwest with views to Tinos. Best at sunset if Little Venice feels too crowded.

Tickets and tours →

Beat the crowds

Check the cruise ship schedule before planning a day in Chora. On multi-ship days, do the town before 10am or after 6pm and spend the middle at a beach.
Go to Delos on the first boat of the morning. The site is exposed and hot by midday, and later boats are fuller.
Stay outside Chora, in Ornos, Agios Stefanos, or near Ano Mera, for calmer evenings and easier parking.
Book restaurants in Little Venice and the top beach clubs well in advance in July and August; in June and September, a day or two ahead usually works.

Know before you go

Mykonos is sharply seasonal. Most hotels, restaurants, and beach clubs operate from about late April to mid October, and many close entirely from November through March.
Delos is reached only by boat, and crossings are canceled when the wind is strong, which happens most often during the July and August meltemi.
Winter ferry schedules are much thinner and rough seas cause cancellations, so leave a buffer day before any onward flight.
Some big beach clubs open later and close earlier than the hotels; if a specific venue matters, confirm its season dates.
