Head to Little Venice
Undeniably one of the most romantic spots in Mykonos, Little Venice enthralls with its charming architecture and superb views of the orange-and-pink-hue-dominated sky. Picture-perfect sunsets and a plethora of restaurants and bars to savor your cocktail while watching the sun go down make it a superb option.

Yacht Cruise
Climb aboard your luxurious yacht for an epic sunset experience on the crystal waters of the Aegean. What better way to close a day full of sailing around Mykonos, Rhenia, Delos or other Cycladic islands, viewing unseen beauties, soaking up the sun, and enjoying refreshing swims, than with a glass of fine champagne in hand while watching the changing colors of the sun, as it disappears behind the horizon!
Horseback Riding Sunsets
If you fancy sharing a sunset ride along the beach with the cobalt waters of the Aegean Sea splashing at your feet, then this is a one-of-a-kind experience you should definitely have. For ultimate romantic moments, you may choose secluded beaches, like Fokos beach, where you may also organize a beach picnic, inclusive of a beach fire, summer fruits, cheese, fine wine, and red roses, showered by the glim light of the moon.
The Windmills
A most photographed, spot of Mykonos offering breath-taking, uninterrupted views of the descending sun. If you wish to complete the experience with some great seafood, the Caprice restaurant is perched on the rocks just underneath the windmills.
