Mykonos holiday weather

Mykonos Greece - The great summer weather is what has made Mykonos such a well loved holiday destination.

July and August are the peak summer months and the island is teeming with people here to soak up the sun and hit the many bars and nightclubs.

These months average 25C to 26C and daily highs are often in the 30s.

Peak summer can often see temperatures soaring into the mid 30s and above during particularly strong heat waves. Thankfully the coastal areas- where most people stay – are relieved by cooling sea breezes so it doesn’t feel so hot.
