Alternative Road Trips in Mykonos: Discover the Island’s Hidden Side with Your Car

When we think of Mykonos, our minds often go straight to wild nightlife, glamorous beaches, and non-stop partying. But the “Island of the Winds” has so much more to offer to those willing to explore it — and what better way to do so than by having your own car? Here are some of the most beautiful spots in Mykonos for unforgettable road trips:

Armenistis Lighthouse

Located at the northernmost tip of the island, the historic Armenistis Lighthouse (built in 1891) offers a breathtaking view over the endless Aegean Sea. It’s one of the best spots to catch the sunset, far from the crowded tourist areas.

Ano Mera Village

In the heart of Mykonos, just 8 km from the main town (Chora), lies the picturesque village of Ano Mera. Here you’ll find authentic Cycladic charm, narrow alleys, traditional tavernas, and the historic Monastery of Panagia Tourliani, dating back to the 15th century. Don’t miss the chance to try local delicacies, including the famous Mykonian “kopanisti” cheese.

Ftelia Beach

Head north to discover Ftelia — a paradise for wind and kite surfers. This beach maintains a laidback and natural vibe, while nearby beach bars and restaurants offer a more authentic experience. A perfect spot for sea lovers who prefer a quieter escape from the crowds.

Lia Beach

Looking for seclusion and relaxation? Located on the southern coast of Mykonos, Lia Beach is one of the island’s most remote. It combines tranquility, well-organized facilities, and a striking rocky landscape. It’s also a great place for diving and underwater adventures.
