Where To Watch The Sunset in Mykonos

The Greek islands are known for their iconic sunsets, and Mykonos is no exception!

To make the most of your Mykonos sunset viewing, consider checking out one (or all) of these three amazing locations:

1. 180 Bar (or nearby)

Grab a cocktail at 180 Bar and enjoy the spectacular sunset view!

We planned to get a drink at this bar, which is known for being a great sunset-viewing bar, but we would’ve missed it by the time we arrived! So we hung out on the streets nearby and a bunch of others watched it outside as well!

2. Cantera Restaurant

We happened to score a table right by a window, perfect for sunset. This restaurant - or any in Little Venice facing west - will give you a spectacular spot for sunset!

3. Little Venice

Little Venice is the area in Mykonos Town that is right along the water (and also where Cantera Restaurant, mentioned above, is).

Find other restaurants in Little Venice on Google Maps to see what their sunset view and tables are like, and try to make a reservation in advance (especially if you are with a larger group)!

WHERE TO STAY IN MYKONOS

Stay in Mykonos Town/Little Venice or by the beach?

Little Venice has more of a cliff/wall where the water splashes up (it is named Little Venice since it has a similar feel in terms of the water to Venice, Italy!)
Super Paradise Beach will give you the option to be beach-side. Note that outside the surrounding beach clubs, you will need to call a taxi or reserve private transportation to get to Little Venice or other shops and restaurants. It takes about 20-30 minutes each way to drive from Super Paradise Beach to Little Venice, for example.

Budget

Hotel Milena - This family-run hotel is friendlier on the budget side for Mykonos, and looks really cute! The cafe has a surrounding garden. The location is near a bus stop for easy access to Mykonos Town.

Sing and Blossom Accommodation - Another friendly budget option for Mykonos, that doesn’t sacrifice quality! The flooring inside uses the Cyclades stone pathway style you often think of when you think of Greece. It’s near a grocery store and bus stop to make it easy to get around and have the essentials nearby!

Mid-Range

Super Paradise Suites - This is where I stayed the last time I was in Mykonos! First, the hotel is on Super Paradise Beach (not in Mykonos Town), which I personally loved. Since we were right on the beach, we could simply walk down to the sand or beach clubs, or enjoy the view of the beach from the room or the hotel’s infinity pool.

The hotel was able to easily help us with private transportation to get to and from beach clubs and restaurants in Mykonos Town/Little Venice (it is about a 20-30 minute drive from Little Venice). This gorgeous hotel felt luxury, but the prices were far from outrageous, making this a great option for Mykonos if you prefer to be near the beach!

Bluetopia Suites - What a cute hotel! This hotel is in Little Venice, a perfect location in Mykonos for watching the sunset and also to walk around the town area. The rooms look cozy with plenty of natural sunlight, perfect for a Greece getaway.

Luxury

Cavo Tagoo Mykonos - The ultimate luxury of all luxury in Mykonos, or Greece in general, are the famous Cavo Tagoo hotels. Chances are, you’ve heard rave reviews about Cavo Tagoo, or have seen photos of this gorgeous, award-winning hotel on social media. Most rooms have sea views and some have infinity pools with a cave cut-out to provide shade from the hot Greek sun in the most unique and exquisite way.

Even if it’s out of your budget for your trip, it’s still worth a look even if just to admire the photos!

Vencia Boutique Hotel - Ohhhkay Vencia, I see your exquisite infinity pool that looks out over the sea. Much more affordable than Cavo Tagoo, but still very much on the luxury side, this hotel is in a great location (only a 10-minute walk to Mykonos Town) and offers bike rentals, too. Don’t be surprised if you find me here this summer lounging at the pool under an umbrella with an Aperol Spritz in hand. This property looks amazing!

Oniro Suites - This gorgeous, modern hotel is close to Mykonos Town, and some rooms have a beautiful sea view! If you’re looking for modern luxury on one of the most luxurious islands in the world, look no further!

Nimbus My Aktis on Super Paradise Beach - if you’re seeking a luxury accommodation near the beach instead of being in Mykonos Town, this is a spectacular option. Some units have sea views, with others also having private pools or hot tubs. Perfect for a honeymoon in a little bit of a quieter part of Mykonos, yet still a close enough drive to spend the day in bustling Little Venice/Mykonos Town.
