What you gain in November
- ↑If you specifically want to experience a Greek Cycladic island without a single tourist, November delivers it — the whitewashed lanes of Chora, the windmills, and the coastal paths are entirely yours
- ↑The handful of year-round local tavernas serve honest Greek food at prices that have nothing to do with the summer tourist economy
- ↑Hotel prices hit their annual floor — the handful of properties that stay open charge rates that bear no resemblance to summer; a unique opportunity to access the island's best addresses at a fraction of their peak cost
What you sacrifice
- ↓The vast majority of Mykonos's restaurants, bars, beach clubs, and hotels are physically closed for the season — the island is not reduced, it is shut; this is a fundamentally different place from what draws visitors in summer
- ↓Weather is deteriorating: 17°C with 58mm of rain and only 5.2 sunshine hours; the famous sunsets over Little Venice exist but require patience and tolerance for grey days
- ↓There is no atmosphere to speak of — no nightlife, no cosmopolitan energy, no beach scene; visiting in November requires accepting that the appeal is purely the landscape and the solitude
