Mykonos Town is where the island’s nightlife kicks off, and you’ll find most party hostels clustered around its narrow, whitewashed streets. Head to **Scorpios** on the Paradise Beach road if you want a taste of open-air clubbing with daybeds and DJs: it’s a 15-minute walk from the centre or a €10 taxi ride. The windmills in Chora are the island’s most famous landmark, but after sunset, the action shifts to **Little Venice**, a row of bars perched over the sea where cocktails cost €12–15 and the crowd spills onto the pavements by 11 p.m. Hostels like **Studio Eleni** and **MyCocoon** sit just five minutes from the main square, so you can roll out of bed and into the nearest bar without breaking a sweat.

The windmills are a five-minute walk from the centre, and the harbour is where boats depart for nearby islands.
