Mykonos Town (Chora) after dark
Chora is the island's capital and its evening stage: sunset in Little Venice, drinks around Matoyianni and the harbour, then WE ❤ MYK Club (WE LOVE MYK) on the Gialos waterfront. Every spot in this guide is within ten minutes' walk of the club.

Sunset in Little Venice, then a five-minute walk to the club.
In late August the sun sets around 20:00: book dinner for after.
Flat shoes for the stone lanes and you are set for the night.
Mykonos Town at night fits the whole plan into a few hundred metres. Chora, the town's other name, sits on the west coast of the island: whitewashed lanes, the windmills on their low hill, Little Venice over the water and the harbour front of Gialos. WE ❤ MYK Club is right there on the waterfront, so your evening flows into the club on foot.
Chora in one walk
The town wraps around its bay on the west side of the island. Along the harbour front, Gialos, fishing boats and yachts line up; behind it, the lanes wind into a maze of white cube houses and red-domed churches. The town is compact, so wandering is the best way to see it.
WE ❤ MYK Club is on this waterfront, on Florou Zouganeli by Manto Square, with views over the Old Port. From its door, Little Venice and the Paraportiani church are about five minutes away on foot.
Little Venice at sunset
Between the old Kastro quarter and Skarpa, houses with coloured wooden balconies hang right over the sea. This is Little Venice, and the municipality's own tip for a first drink is a sunset spot here or in neighbouring Alefkandra.
Time it well: the sun sets around 20:40 in mid-July, around 20:12 in mid-August and about 20:00 by 25 August. Our sunset guide lists more spots for the golden hour before a night out.
Sunset times
Little Venice: around 20:40 in mid-July, 20:12 in mid-August and about 20:00 by 25 August. Arrive early to choose your spot.
The windmills of Kato Mili
South of the centre, between Alefkandra and the Niochori quarter, a row of white windmills faces the sea from a low hill. Seven of the island's old mills survive, according to Greece's national tourism site, and they appear on postcards around the world.
They are about five minutes on foot from Little Venice and nine from the club, and the Fabrika bus station is about five minutes beyond them.
Matoyianni and the lanes
Matoyianni is a classic Chora shopping street: fashion, jewellery and art by day, bars and lounge cafés by night. The lanes around it are a good place to pick a restaurant and settle in for dinner before the club.
For a Greek night, the island's bouzoukia, the venues for live Greek music, play until late, according to the municipality. The lanes are paved with whitewashed stones, so comfortable shoes make the evening easier.
From the evening to the club
On our 2026 nights the club opened its doors at midnight, so the evening falls into place on its own: sunset in Little Venice, dinner in the lanes, a last drink by the harbour, then a few minutes' walk to Florou Zouganeli.
Going as a group? Agree on Manto Square, on the harbour front by the club, as your meeting point. The club page has our themed nights there, its door time and the walk from Little Venice.
Everything on foot
From the club: Little Venice and Paraportiani about 5 min, the Old Port bus stop about 6, the windmills and Fabrika about 9.
Staying in town
A room in Chora means you walk to the club and walk home. Our where-to-stay guide compares town with the Fabrika edge, the south coast and the New Port, measured from the club door.
Getting back from further away
Staying outside town? The Fabrika bus station and its taxi rank are about nine minutes' walk from the club. In peak season the island's buses serve the most popular destinations until 04:00, and the taxi dispatch lines answer 24 hours a day. The getting-around guide explains each option.
