maxpetersky Posted August 18 Report Share Posted August 18 Can anybody explain to me what's so special about Mykonos? Everyone I know seems to want to go there, because supposedly the club scene there is really good. In fact, lately every time I suggest that we go to Ibiza, I get: "Neh, Ibiza sux, let's go to Mykonos!"But people who actually went there come back with pictures of the beach and a little Greek town, tell me how blue the water in the Mediterrainean was and shit like that.So what the fuck is up with that place???

maxpetersky Posted August 18 Author Report Share Posted August 18 Right - those are exactly the pix people bring back! And beach pictures don't even look all that great - any beach in the Caribbean is much nicer!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimk29 Posted August 18 Report Share Posted August 18 i plan on going next year..heard from lots of people ....IBIZA is overated......So not true. I recommend that you start talking to people who have better taste. I've been to Ibiza 5 times. The most recent was last month, the place is great. There is more to do than just get messed up and go clubbing. There are so many great beaches, you just have to know which ones to go to.

jimk29 Posted August 18 Report Share Posted August 18 and by the way, from what I've heard from people who have been to both, the nightlife in Mykonos stops earlier than it does in Ibiza and there aren't as many good drugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcid21 Posted August 18 Report Share Posted August 18 My ex boyfriend is second generation from Mykonos. He rants and raves about it all the time, and the pics he used to show me were out of this world. He'd go on and on about the scene and how many tracks/dj's were around that hadn't even made it to the US yet. Whenever a track would come on years later that he first heard there he'd brag all over how great it was.I'm kicking myself now for not going a few summer's with him. His father offered to pay for my plane ticket and everything... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkny8 Posted August 18 Report Share Posted August 18 Whoever told you Ibiza was overrated either has their head up their ass, or doesn't know the island very well. Like someone just said, there is lots to do on the island. You don't have to go clubbing every day. Do some homework before you go to get the most out of it. A lot of people don't get as much out of it as they can because all they do is party, never sleep and by the end of the trip need two weeks to recover. If you pace yourself and explore other aspects of the island you will have a GREAT time.Mykonos is great; it's more of a gay scene though.

truex1200 Posted August 18 Report Share Posted August 18 mykonos is amazing. Been a bunch of times.The DJs and EDM scene there are mind blowing. Whatever goes on in mykonos..music wise..scene wise...comes here years later.This is a pic from 3 years ago, my freind knew skoof so we went down to check him out. This was at 2pm on the beach. You can imagine how kick ass the nightlife is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stereolab Posted August 18 Report Share Posted August 18 Mykonos is a really beautiful island with a great vibe and a really good party scene. It's not Ibiza, nor is it trying to be. It has its own personality and is pretty unique. It's not about the huge warehouse clubs with thousands of drugged-out clubbers. It's about smaller more intimate spaces with awesome music and great vibes in idyllic locations. The best club Cavo Paradiso is one of the best clubs in the world in my opinion. It brings top DJ talent and you get to dance while you watch the sunrise in the Aegean sea.The beaches are beautiful, the people friendly, the food great (if you know where to go), and there is definitely a anything goes vibe.

dkny8 Posted August 18 Report Share Posted August 18 Ocean Drive, El Corso, El Puerto Apartments are the ones I've stayed at.El Hotel is supposed to be really nice too, never stayed there but it looks nice.Those are all good reccommendations. As for El Hotel, it is one of the nicest hotels on the island but also the priciest. It's owned by Pacha and is right across the street from the nightclub.If you are going to stay in a hotel, I'd generally advise you to stay away from the San Antonio/Talamanca area. That's the British ghetto of Ibiza. Brits tend to be the loudest and drunkest band of Europeans on the island. Ibiza town has more of a mixed European feel, and a better vibe imo.If you are going with a large group of people, I HIGHLY recommend looking into renting a villa. Just do some searches online and you can find listings for villas. Villas in Ibiza are basically full sized homes that people rent out as holiday homes. Some will come with a pool, spa/hot tub and other amenities you won't find in a hotel. They usually have multiple bedrooms so in a typical villa you can have anywhere from 4-10 people, maybe more. If you're dividing the cost between several people, it can actually come out cheaper than a hotel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msoprano Posted August 19 Report Share Posted August 19 i stayed in the los molinos in ibiza...nice hotel witha nice big pool in the back...it wwas in the figurettas...(sp) rooms were nice with a balcony over looking the ocean..its not a parrty hotel which is good casue if you just want to chill and relax during the day by the pool and excape the madness for a while you can do just that. i cant remember how much we paid...it was 3 years ago. its also about a 10-15 min walk from ibiza town where everyone goes before hitting the clubs...this is where everyone pregames and buys tickets to the clubs...place is a mobscene...

Talamanca is a very quiet area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crackorn Posted August 19 Report Share Posted August 19 I've been to Mykonos 3 or 4 times and it really is an unbelievable place. The parties start on the beach in the afternoon and they end in the early morning. You can find afterhours too, if you know who to ask.
