The trip: I got to Mykonos Island by plane (Easy Jet) and then by boat (high speed). The trip was good. There were some delay on the boat.
Reasons for going to Mykonos: This year I choose to come to Greece and more particular on Mykonos because it was recommended to me by friends.
Idea before arriving: I heard a lot from my friends and knew that it is a beautiful island with great weather, great beaches and great parties. I thought that it would be more busy but it was early in the season.
Expectations and opinions: Yes, it met my expectations. It is a nice island.

- Villages: 8/10 Main Town: 8/10 Only one village but so beautiful?

- Local people: 8/10 People are very friendly and always do their best to help you.
- Accommodation: 8/10 Our hotel was very comfortable and clean. Nice pool
- Activities 6/10 Excursions 5/10 Sightseeing: 7/10 We went to Delos and it was really interesting. But except from Delos there are no other opportunities for excursions
- Prices: 0/10 Very expensive!!
- Public Transportations: -/10 Never Used
- Authenticity 6/10
- Peace & quiet 7/10 Maybe because it was low season
- Weather 10/10 Great weather. Not one cloudy day in one week.
Favorite thing about Mykonos: I really enjoyed the calm of the island.
My favorite beach is Elia, my favorite village is Agios Stefanos and the best activity we had was motorcycling. I don?t have any bike in Poland and really enjoyed it!
Negative opinion: The prices are very high. Especially the food! It was also very difficult to find authenticity. Mykonos is a huge tourist industry. The manage to keep it well preserved and beautiful with the feeling to be in a village.
Recommendations: Just go there! If you want to relax you will find quiet places. If you are a party animal, you will find a lot of bars and clubs. If you like the good food and wine, there is a large choice of greek and international cuisine. But in all cases, take with you a lot of money. And go to Delos.
I will definitely go back to Mykonos. Next time I would love to see it in full season in order to see the ambiance.
Rate of the overall quality/organization/services of this island/area in comparison with other countries: 8/10
