Mykonos

Where to stay: Manoulas
Even the beaches are high-energy on Mykonos, but it is nice to have somewhere tranquil to retreat to. A short taxi or bus ride from Mykonos Town above Agios Ioannis beach (made famous in the film Shirley Valentine ), the Manoulas has whitewashed balconies, a pool, and relative peace and quiet.

Where to eat: Eva’s Garden 
This being Mykonos, you could dine at a branch of Nobu should you so want. For something a bit more Greek, with prices to match, head to this taverna in a pretty courtyard in the centre of town. The spanakopita (spinach pie) and grilled fish are particularly good.

Don’t miss
Mykonos is all about the party scene, and it’s surprisingly affordable – the cover charge to hear a world-class DJ can be as little as €10, compared with €70 on Ibiza, and drinks are more reasonable too.
