Mykonos has gained a bit of a reputation for being one of Europe’s victims of overtourism. And it’s true – much of this beautiful island has become lined with tourist trap restaurants, naff souvenir shops and beaches full of commercial sunbeds.  But if you know where to look, Mykonos’s magic is still very much alive. On any given week in Mykonos, you can party all night to famous DJs, have dinner overlooking a crystal-blue sea, stroll through its old town and head out on a day trip by boat. Your best bet might just be heading there in the quieter months to avoid the crowds. Here are the best things to do on Mykonos.

Sometimes it’s hard to believe that the charming city of Paphos, a little harbour city in the southwest of Cyprus, actually exists. But we’re here to reveal that not only is Paphos a real life place, it’s as beautiful as the photos show it. In fact - it’s better.  For one thing, Paphos is romantic. And that’s not just because it’s the birthplace of Aphrodite (though that is pretty cool). It’s because of the mosaics all over the city, telling ancient stories. The sea coves at coral bay. The sunsets on the beach. Paphos is just waiting to be explored. Here are the best things to do when you visit.  RECOMMENDED:​🏖️ The best beaches in the world📍 The best things to do in the world🇬🇷 The best places to visit in Greece At Time Out, all of our travel guides are written by local writers who know their cities inside out.
