hello how are you my name is Mylene I am from venezuela and I am going to Santorini and Mykonos, would you recommend me somewhere to stay in Mykonos???? thanks a lot
Hello Mylene.
How are you?
I recommend to stay in Mykonos town or Little Venice.
The beaches there aren’t wonderful though but there are tons of restaurants and it’s very easy to get around, specially if you aren’t renting a car.
Any place walkable distance to this area is fine.
In my Santorini post there are some suggestions for accommodation. You can book use the links there or if you prefer you can use Booking through this page: https://www.7continents1passport.com/travel-planning/
There isn’t any additional cost to you and it helps me to keep the blog.
Cheers and have fun in Greece Mylene.
Abrazo 😉
