Scorpios, spritzes and sunset dips: the Fluent guide to Mykonos.

Written by Amy Rosner | Aug 7, 2025 9:46:33 PM

Mykonos is ridiculous — in the best possible way. Everything is a little over the top, a little too curated, a lot too obvious. You’ll roll your eyes at the €35 cocktails, swear you’re skipping Scorpios this time and still find yourself texting "Matsuhisa Matt" at 3 a.m.

Yes, you’ll go to Nammos. You’ll split a bottle at Principote and pretend not to care who’s at the next table. You’ll overpack Reformation tops you won’t wear and underpack Advil. It’s all part of the charm — exhausting, iconic, a little cringe and completely irresistible.

This isn’t about uncovering some hidden side of Mykonos. It’s about leaning in — with taste. The classics are classics for a reason and the key isn’t avoiding them... it’s knowing how to do them right.

Here’s your no-nonsense, high-glam, slightly self-aware guide to the island we all hate to love (and keep coming back to anyway).
