What you gain in April
- ↑Mykonos Town (Chora) in April is genuinely beautiful without the summer crush — Matoyianni street, Little Venice, and the windmill hill are walkable and photogenic without navigating crowds
- ↑Greek Orthodox Easter (if it falls in April) transforms the island with candlelit midnight celebrations, fireworks, and communal lamb roasts — a deeply authentic Greek experience
- ↑The island's restaurants and bars are reopening; you get the Mykonos experience at a fraction of the summer price, with 18°C weather that's comfortable for sightseeing
What you sacrifice
- ↓Sea temperature is still 17–18°C — swimmable for the hardy, but most visitors won't want to; beach clubs are opening but still quiet and not fully operational
- ↓The famous nightlife venues at Paradise and Super Paradise are either not yet open or operating in limited capacity — the full club season hasn't started
- ↓Some premium hotels are still in pre-season mode with limited services; the widest range of accommodation choices opens in May–June
