Most Instagrammable Places in Mykonos

1. #Happiness Store

I’m sure you’ve already seen thousands of pictures with the #HAPPINESS sign on Instagram. It’s one of the most Instagrammable places in Mykonos and it’s easy to see why – this little shop looks so cute!

It’s actually a clothing store owned by a local family so if you’re planning to do a little shopping, take a look inside as well!

The Happiness Store is located quite close to Little Venice in Mykonos Town and if you know the exact location, it’s impossible to miss. If you want to take some photos without the crowds, go there early in the morning when the streets are still empty!

2. Mykonos Windmills

The iconic Mykonos Windmills are a must-visit when on the island! Currently, there are 16 windmills scattered across the island and you can find 5 of them standing in a row near Little Venice.

This is one of the most popular sunset spots in Mykonos and while sunsets are really magical from here, it gets crazy crowded in the evening (and all day long as well, to be completely honest).

If you want to have some amazing Instagram shots with the windmills, wake up early and go there for sunrise when no one is around just like we did!

Just a little head’s up – the windmills are there for a reason! It gets super windy in Mykonos, especially in this place, so be prepared for some hair in your face kind of shots!

3. Little Venice

I’ve already mentioned Little Venice twice in this article so you might wonder, what is it exactly? Little Venice is basically a neighborhood composed of small colorful houses along the waterfront in Mykonos Town. It looks a lot like the Italian city of Venice – hence the name.

You will find many cafes, bars, and restaurants in the area so it’s not only one of the most Instagrammable places in Mykonos but it’s also a great spot to grab some food or drink and just enjoy the view.

Being one of the most popular areas in Mykonos, Little Venice is a very lively neighborhood during the day and the night. Therefore, the best time for taking photos without anyone else in it is around sunrise but one of the caveats is that the area is still covered with shadows in the morning.

I prefer the colors a lot more here during the day or at sunset but it’s arguably harder to shoot when it’s so crowded so choose your time accordingly!

4. Cute souvenir shop with the pictures on the wall

This cute little souvenir shop was one of my favorite Instagram spots in Mykonos. I just loved the look of the painted stairway, the colorful pictures on the wall, and the cute little souvenirs together!

Since this is an actual shop, it can get quite busy during the day so try to go there early in the morning. Also, be quick with your photo and it’s always nice to buy something from the shop if you’re taking photos there!

5. Agia Kyriaki Church

Agia Kyriaki Church is a picturesque little white church with a red dome located in Mykonos Town. The square in front of the church is super cute too as the house next to the church has a huge bougainvillea tree covering its walls.

You have endless possibilities for shooting here as every angle looks different and beautiful. It’s definitely one of the prettiest photo spots in Mykonos!

6. Publico Restaurant (Old location of La Maison de Katrin)

The former location of La Maison de Katrin restaurant is one of the most beautiful restaurants in Mykonos thanks to the huge bougainvillea tree on its roof. It looks so unique!

When we first visited in 2019 this street was home to La Maison de Katrin but since then the restaurant has been moved to a new location and the old one has been taken over by Publico restaurant. Apparently, it’s a very good Mexican restaurant so it’s definitely on my list to try on my next visit to Mykonos!

Don’t worry, you can still get your Instagram shot with the bougainvillea tree as it’s still there!

7. MySpace Boutique

The front of this beachwear boutique is really cute with the red balcony and the flowering bougainvillea tree. It’s a super random but very Instagrammable place in Mykonos Town!

8. Blue street in front of the Muse Art Shop

I found this blue street by accident and I fell in love with it immediately! The white walls with the turquoise door and the gates grant a really great backdrop for every photo. Wearing a red dress was just a bonus, it created a really great contrast with the blue. Do you agree?

9. Enoplon Dinameon Street

At the end of Enoplon Dinameon Street, you will find a very lively square with lots of cafes and bars. If you’re looking for a place to grab a drink or some food, this is where you should go!

But aside from that, the street itself is really charming with a huge bougainvillea tree covering the whole street. It’s definitely worth taking a stroll down this street and snapping some photos along the way!

As I mentioned, this area is really busy during the day so if you want similar photos to mine, go early in the morning.

10. I Love Mykonos stairs

I almost missed this great photography spot in Mykonos because it’s a bit hard to notice if you don’t already know that it’s there!

On the same street where the pretty bougainvillea tree is located, you will find a cute little stairway with an I Love (or Heart) Mykonos sign. It screams for an Instagram photo, right? It leads up to an actual shop so be quick with your photo and don’t block the stairs for a long time!

11. Cute turquoise door with flowers

This cute little turquoise door is another popular Instagram spot in Mykonos. I had a very hard time finding it first but you just have to click on the location below and you will know exactly where to look!

To be honest with you, this location is quite disappointing in real life. The door is cute, that’s for sure, but other than that, the street is full of trash and smells quite bad. It’s gotten progressively worse over the years so I was not inspired at all to shoot some new photos here on my recent visits.

12. Chora Store

If you’re looking for one of the most unique shops in Mykonos, check out the Chora Store! The name is a little bit confusing as sometimes the whole of Mykonos Town is referred to as Chora, but I included the exact location of this shop below so you will be able to find it easily.

The shopfront is usually decorated in a very unique way and don’t forget to take a peek inside as well.

13. Mamalouka Restaurant

Another beautiful restaurant that is dubbed as a great photo spot in Mykonos is Mamalouka Restaurant. It looks really cute with the pink flowers and the painted pathway leading to the entrance.

However, the restaurant itself is very expensive and I’ve read some terrible reviews about it so I’m not sure if it’s worth trying.

Location on Google Maps: Mamalouka Restaurant

14. Negrita Mykonos

Negrita is one of the most famous bars in Mykonos Town, located in Little Venice. The whole exterior of the bar is decorated with pink flowers and since it’s right on the oceanfront, it has stunning views of the sunset.

Needless to say, it’s a very popular spot for sunset so you’ll need a reservation and there is a minimum spend (I think it’s €80 per person) if you want to secure a table here during the golden hour.

But if you want a more chilled atmosphere, you can visit the bar during the day when it’s less crowded and still get some great photos! The drinks are amazing and they also have a great food menu!

15. Kastro’s

Kastro’s is another popular restaurant located in Little Venice, close to the Church of Panagia Paraportiani. It’s mostly famous for its cute alleyway by the sea, decorated with colorful pillows.

You can head there for breakfast or some light meals during the day but for dinner, I recommend arriving with reservations. Unlike Mamalouka, the food here is actually said to be very good so you can give it a try!

Or you can just quickly visit the alley for snapping some photos. It’s in the shade in the morning and the pillows are also quite dirty already. I hope they will replace them with new ones soon (or at least give them a good wash)!

16. Church of Panagia Paraportiani

One of the most famous landmarks in Mykonos, the Church of Panagia Paraportiani is a must-visit while exploring the island. It’s actually a complex of five churches, with four on the ground level and one on top.

Unlike other churches in Greece, this one is fully white and doesn’t have a red or blue dome. It’s a unique and beautiful sight to see and the white walls make it a great photography spot, especially with some colorful dresses!

17. Hibiscus Fruit Parlor

Some delicious crepes or ice cream, anyone? The Hibiscus not only sells delicious sweets and sandwiches but its front is so cute that you just can’t leave without having a photo here. It’s also a great place for some people watching as it is located on a very lively street.

18. Mykonos Harbour

The harbor of Mykonos is another great photography spot that you just simply can’t miss. The white-washed houses on the cliffside and the boats and yachts on the water create a really amazing backdrop for every photo!

19. St. Vasileios Church

This church with its red dome and white walls is another one of the most Instagrammable places in Mykonos that you absolutely need to visit. It’s located next to the Old Port on the hillside so it requires a bit of a climb but trust me, it’s so worth it!

Not only the church looks really cute but the views from the top are breathtaking. You can see the whole town and even spot the famous windmills! It’s best to go in the middle of the day when the sun is high for the best lighting.

20. Boni’s Windmill

As I mentioned before, there are many windmills in Mykonos. Although the five windmills in Chora are the most famous, there is another one located a bit further outside of town that’s worth visiting for its picturesque location.

Boni’s Windmill is situated on a hilltop and it’s only a 15-minute walk from Old Town. The views from the windmill are amazing and it’s a great spot for sunset as well!

It used to be one of my all-time favorite Instagram spots in Mykonos, however, on our recent visit we noticed that you can’t access the church anymore, so taking pictures like the below ones is no longer possible. But you can still visit the windmill and get some great shots from the outside!
