For a first date in Mykonos, try Little Venice, Windmills of Mykonos, or Armenistis Lighthouse. Weekday evenings are calmer; on Friday and Saturday, book ahead where you can.
Many of the best dates in Mykonos cost nothing: a walk through Little Venice at sunset, the windmills or the lighthouse at Armenistis. Add a drink or dinner in town and you have the classic island evening.
Here are ten real places, from free viewpoints to sunset terraces and a beach taverna, plus two unusual ideas at the end. Most restaurants and bars here are open roughly from April or May to October.
