 Night life in Mykonos is the best in the Aegean
If you like discos, being in the company of beautiful people, and staying up until dawn, Mykonos is the island for you. There are two major places you must visit for the Mykonos experience and they are Hotel Phillipi in the center of town and the Alefkandra section, on the sea. All of the celebrities who visit Mykonos will eventually end up partying at the Phillippi and if you want to see the rich and famous, this is the place to go. It is a rather large restaurant with an indoor "garden" that serves as a dance floor. If you are lucky, you can sit at a table above the garden and see the celebrities down below.
The Alefkandra section has an abundance of night spots, bars, and tavernas, and it is here that you can "taverna hop" with ease. A popular place is The Mykonos Bar, famous for Rhembetika music and as a place where you can see spontaneous, Greek dancing. Alefkandra is a very romantic place and one can try to find a private, quiet spot to sip wine with a loved one, but only in the early evening and perhaps just before dawn. The place rocks at night and into the early morning hours.

Another excellent way to see Mykonos at night is simply to follow your ears. Music comes from everywhere and as you walk about you will see revelers everywhere dancing to mostly live music. "Hot spots" change from year to year, but news of favorites is passed along on the beaches and sometimes notices are placed on trees and posts calling attention to special parties.
