Do you think this place was as bad as Brits said?? Brilliant support lately, thank you! Would appreciate you checking to see if you’re subscribed, you’d be surprised how many people watch without realising they’re not subbed haha
One lone traveller to another - in the evening pick an outside table and buy a beer and people watch, being out you may get to meet and talk to other travellers. It's sometimes hard to work up the enthusism to do it, but it can be rewarding. I enjoyed your video. Happy travels!
I was in Mykonos last year and the only thing I didn't like about it was it was absolutely crowded due to the number of cruise ships that were in port at the one time. But it's a beautiful island, the people were friendly and yes, it is expensive, but then so are so many other tourist destinations. I'm stunned it came out so bad in the poll. Great channel btw, just discovered you and I've enjoyed the vids!
It's because they aimed the poll at fat northerners who want Pints at 8AM for 1 Euro and all-day Breakfasts followed by watching the Football/Rugby League in a bar or turning pink in the sun on a beach......... The only cheap holiday destinations nowadays are the shitholes (like Benidorm) that nobody with any sense (or large amounts of money) would be seen dead in!
I went to the ‘relatively unknown’ and certainly not commercialised island of Mykonos in 1983 - it was so cheap to eat out and drink everywhere that I came home with a purse full of drachma! The ‘airport’ had only just opened for international flights….on arrival on the island, we had to walk from the plane (Dan Air as it was!) to the Arrivals lounge, and wait in a queue as the stern looking Greek Airport head honcho inspected EVERY page of peoples’ passports before stamping it (he was checking to make sure there were no Turkey stamps in it!) before letting you go through to the Exits! The first day, after spending the night in a hot little room. I went to inspect Mykonos Town, I got horribly lost in those little paved streets and😮 maze of alleyways - they all weave in and out and all look the same! trying to find my way to the sea or a Taverna to get a drink was hard - I even had a “map”! But by day four, I knew those streets like the back of my hand! All around the island I found the best tavernas the best bars, the best ice cream shops and the best place to get a toasted tuna sandwich and a cup of proper tea after a day sunbathing on the nudist beach Super Paradise! There were no rip off merchants then - just “locals” eager to welcome the traveller and holidaymaker and ensure they had a good time - and they seem to love British people and could not do enough to help! The beach sun beds and brollies were cheap to hire and I went all over the island on their buses! The world, his wife and some hairy goats were on the buses too! And if you went to the same Taverna a couple of times, you were treated as a friend and the free “shots” were plenty! I loved Mykonos - it’s just a shame that greedy capitalists are cashing in on the resort and ripping off the tourist and the locals - they won’t see any of those €€ $$ or ££ being made. As for the pelican - unless he was replaced by another pelican brother/s later on - Petros the pelican was killed by a car in 1985. I never saw Petros when I holidayed there in Mykonos but I was attacked by a pelican on the island of Zakynthos a few years later!
@@x-starlight-x it all relates to (the still ‘on going’) war when Turkey illegally invaded the island of Cyprus in 1974 and declared Northern Cyprus as a Turkish place. The Greeks and Cypriots are “allied” through years of history and Mainland Greece and the islands, actively recognise the illegal invasion and occupation and recognise Turkey as an enemy. It was the “olden days” when Passports were routinely stamped with the Country’s name, at the Passport Control Arrivals Desk when travelling abroad - not sure if it’s still done? If a person who is travelling to either Cyprus or Greece, has a passport stamp declaring a recent arrival in Turkey, entry to either Country would either be very difficult (taken away for “interviews about visits to Turkey etc and if they had arranged to meet a Turkish person there) or their entry could actually be denied and just be sent home! holiday representatives will advise that if the tourist decides to visit a Turkish enclave whilst holidaying in Greece or Cyprus (mini breaks or day trips etc), if they want a Passport stamp as a proof of a holiday destination, to ask for the stamp to be on a piece of paper and to not keep it WITH the Passport when travelling back to those two countries! Because of the illegal invasion, occupation and their human rights issues, Turkey is not in the EU
Where I fell in love with Greece in the early 80s too I agree with everything said. Got delivered from the (one room) airport with our cases on the back of a flat bed three wheeler truck 😂
I was in Crete last month and had the time of my life. I found prices similar to the prices in UK. I can appreciate that islanders need to ship goods in from the mainland and this is costly.The Greeks are finding the prices challenging too. We hired a car and for my son and I, this was cost effective. We shopped in the areas where local people shop and found a few bargains.
8:28 The star rating of hotels is to do with the facilities offered, not how nice they are. Things like whether there is a bathtub, iron, coffee machine, TV etc.
You think Mykonos is expensive? Dublin is jaw dropping. €10 for an ice cream, that meal you got in the restaurant would have been twice the price in Dublin that you paid €31. 3 star hotel would be €180 per night. (€80 per night in Mykonos is great value)
Fun fact: The houses are white because of a cholera outbreak and everybody HAD to paint their houses white as it was a disinfectant. They don’t have to anymore but they still do. 😅❤
You had Baklava for dessert, but that's a loaded statement that it's 'Greek'. Turkish would claim it as theirs, but also generally very popular in the balkan region as a whole. Definitely is part of Greek cuisine though. If you go back to Greece you should try Spanakopita, I would guess your airport has a cafe, maybe grigoris, they would likely have it. Similar situation culturally, but a great savoury breakfast or lunch. It's called borek in other places.
Visited Mykonos in 2003, lovely place. We stayed at the taverna where Shirley Valentine was filmed, it was very uncommercialised then. There was a pelican in Mykonos town too, we had a great holiday.
It's possible the shorts were stonewashed, a process to make them look worn-in. This treatment is often used for giving an aged look to jeans, with some small stones often found in the pockets. But then again, it's also possible your shorts could have been pre-worn!
definitely stone washed, lol, though I didn't know they did that to swimming trunks; though going to a Greek island without thinking you might like to swim - that's on you, Ed!
Loved this video! You did well to visit when no cruise ships were there, it’s very different when there’s 10k+ cruise guests in the streets. Definitely never the worst place though I love Mykonos! 😂😂
Great vid. Looked good to me. Everyone hates high prices but they have to make money somehow and when you're on holiday the opjective is to have fun lol. I think a lot of people complain when they go overseas because a lot of the areas are for relaxing, swimming, being in the sun etc : a lot of people who have children expect everywhere to have activities for families, some do but it's nice to have some that are more chill. Same when you go camping: do you want to go to a place where everything there is for kids like entertainment, activities, watersports, shows etc or would you settle for a calm site with a simple childrens park with swings, slide etc and a fishing pond. When we were kids there was activities you could do that were free like rounders, boardgames , cricket and when kids have gone to bed the adults could play adult board games or chat with a few drinks. End of the day, it all comes down to what you want in the holiday, budget, age of the kids, if the kids are only interested in gadgets and expensive activities or will they happily play with the old school camping games. Anyway. Good vid, can't wait for the next one , now it's time i make a bloody brew lol xx
I have literally just got off an Easyjet flight from Mykonos to Gatwick....and we saw most of the places you seem to have been to. And we had the same weather!! It isn't horrible, it just doesn't cater for Brit-style tourists. It is expensive yes. But it is fantastic without Irish pubs....
12:18 be careful on the ouzu it's lethal 😅 gets you drunk drinking it then gets you drunk again in the morning trying to drink water to cure the Hangover 😂 lovely stuff though 👌🏻
This was the last place I went abroad to 11 years ago and I absolutely loved it. I asked in a shop if they had anything for a hangover and the woman gave me some pills out of her handbag... cured me in no time! As for the "big bird" he was there when I was - not sure how long they live for. Some people have suggested watching Shirley Valentine and I agree, there's a split second scene where they arrive into the harbour and you can see a comparison of how much the place has grown since that was filmed.
You are right, Shirley Valentine was filmed on the Island, it is one of my favourite films and wanted to go to Mykonos to the film locations, especially when they get of the Coach at the Hotel. Obviously it will be different now but to get the essence. I have not yet as for the Costs you can put the money to a more realistic price level at other islands.
Fun video. I just found you as this video popped up in my feed. I don't know why it was rated so badly. Any "popular tourist spot" (especially with cruise ships) is going to be expensive. I travelled with my students in the Mediteranean many times and I had to teach them to check out the side streets and less popular/crowded places to find bargains/keep a budget. Souvlaki is always good (the chicken skewers you ate), but there are so many other good foods in Greece. The desert was baklava and it can be different town to town, region to to region.
I am not even British. USA btw. This is the most ridiculous thing that I ever heard. Let me guess because of accomodations. Wanting nightclubs to close at 6am. And breakfast serve all day at anytime. Not even all-inclusive resorts do that. It isn't about the money. It's about tourists not getting their way. 😂
Bergen looks interesting but I opted to go for a different vibe and went to Tromsø and loved it. Didn't find Norway *as* expensive as people made out, though not cheap by any means
Hi, nice video, have to say your hotel looked fantastic for the price. Like you said, no way it’s a one/two star! Laughed my arse off at your “new” trunks. Somebody returned them after having a dip!😂😂 Great vid!👍👏👏👏❤️
Loving these travel vlogs! You mentioned about not having much chance to unwind.... how about a week's all inclusive vlog!? I think that would make quality viewing!
Enjoyable video, thanks! Ive been ill this week and enjoyed watching your videos for a cheer up. I was half expecting those rip-off trunks to be those joke ones that disintegrate in contact with water! 😂😂
Was there last year, loved it. Very friendly, found the pelican, tried on a £100 000 ring (lol) ,watched a cat pluck a fish from the sea, spent too much time at Katerina's cocktail bar (its in the background of the video), found cheaper food (Jimmy's that you also walked past in the video). Not the worse place at all.
Another brilliant vlog mate, Calpol😂😂😂 I've been to Mykonos twice only on day trips while on a Cruise, I don't think I would go for any more than 5 days.
LETSSSS GOOOO, Better than Butlins lol, Honestly enjoy your content and your humour. Would love some best and worsts and some more travel and hotel stuff tbh i like all of it lol keep up the great content
Another great video thanks Ed. I think it looked lovely there, even though a tad pricey! Pity you didn't see the infamous 'Bird' Keep the videos coming We love ya
I saw the pelican there last week. I only spent one night in Mykonos (it was the cheapest flight to Greece, that got me close to Athens, took the boat the next day to Pireaus, to see Rammstein at the Olympic stadium). I stepped out of a shop where I'd bought a drink and snack, never having heard about the pelican... And got one hell of a shock as it walked towards and then past me, almost brushing by, followed by an entourage of tourists... So i joined in, taking a few photos!
I think this is the classic case of brits valuing value (aka cost in most people’s mind) over everything else. Could be the prettiest. Could be the most entertaining or relaxing. But if it’s seen as “not good value” it goes to the bottom of the list! I get it, and partly agree… but experience, culture, people, food should surely count for something over just “the price”!?
I first went to Mykonos in 1994 and there was always, even then, a Mykonos ‘premium’ which made it the priciest island but it was well worth it and we returned year after year. My most recent visit was 2019 and I decided it was my last. Rapacious profiteering had changed the atmosphere totally and multiple cruise ships in port at any one time meant that the main town, which used to be gorgeously serene during the day when people were at the beaches, was totally mobbed. I go to Naxos now (visible on the horizon from Mykonos) which is beautiful (greener and more fertile than Mykonos) and the beaches are superb (especially Agios Prokopios). It’s also a fraction of the cost with no ‘sunbed mafia’ carpeting every square inch of beach with beds and parasols at €70 a pop. I still have wonderful memories of days spent at Super Paradise Beach but unfortunately for me these days it’s a case of ‘Paradise Lost’
I think the most unfriendly place to holiday in Europe is the Dordogne France, i think i know as im Irish living here, i would not be able to live anywhere else but. wow find out four yourself Ed it would make for one hell of a video.
I actually love that you just do the normal stuff in these videos that us everyday normies would do on holiday. After watching this, I have a MUCH better idea of whether I'd want to go to Mykonos or not, than I would if you'd been all like "Okay, I'm gonna go on a jet ski this morning with this Greek millionaire who's kindly agreed to sponsor this video - I'll tell you more about him and his amazing products later! - and then this afternoon I'll be chillaxing in the Infinity Pool of this exclusive hotel, which the owner has kindly agreed to let me make a full video tour of..."
I went last year for a 10 days with the mrs. Found everyone exceptionally friendly, food was class and the beaches were lovely. Shocked people dont rate it at all!
Loved this video bud, we're also from Leeds. If you ever fancy collaborating on a video we can both throw dry humour and cracking one liners at each other 🤣🔥 Keep it up lad 👊
After a crap day at work this was just what I needed to cheer me up 😀 It didn't look that bad to me, not my cup of tea but I can't believe that that is the worst in Europe. Thanks Ed 😀
I think most of the complaints about Mykonos come from the summer months as it gets packed. Think it's one of the greek islands that have a cruise port. My mum has a Petros the pelican tattoo lol, shame u didn't sample the nightlife maybe next time
Do you think this place was as bad as Brits said?? Brilliant support lately, thank you! Would appreciate you checking to see if you’re subscribed, you’d be surprised how many people watch without realising they’re not subbed haha

It looks nice actually. Tbh I've not been on holiday for so long Blackpool looks possible!

Is it hated by the British public because it doesn't do €2 pints of carling, and fried breakfasts until 3pm every day?
Stop criticising our culture
You'd have to pay me 2 euros to drink Carling.

Mykonos is definitely not a place to chill 😛its a huge party island especially in the summer
About 25 years ago I was reading the Lonely Planet book about Greece and it said.If you don't like smoking or cats , it's not the place for you.
I absolutely love Greek food but I have not been yet. Horrific fear of flying is preventing me from going. Maybe some day I'll get over it.

Hi, nice video, have to say your hotel looked fantastic for the price. Like you said, no way it’s a one/two star!
Laughed my arse off at your “new” trunks. Somebody returned them after having a dip!😂😂

Lots of cheaper but still gorgeous Greek islands to choose from! You don't have to go to Mykonos or Santorini!

Edifying as always. The Bratislava looked yummy.
Judging about how my cats love to roll in sand/dirt, that cat was living his best life.
I went around 10 years ago. I thought it was beautiful at the time. We had a very nice hotel and beautiful weather.
Very enjoyable video…thank you…and you really made me laugh at the idea that you just drank the hand sanitizer 😂

I saw the pelican there last week.
I only spent one night in Mykonos (it was the cheapest flight to Greece, that got me close to Athens, took the boat the next day to Pireaus, to see Rammstein at the Olympic stadium).
I stepped out of a shop where I'd bought a drink and snack, never having heard about the pelican... And got one hell of a shock as it walked towards and then past me, almost brushing by, followed by an entourage of tourists... So i joined in, taking a few photos!
I saw him last year, just randomly walked past. :)
"A Greek Mevagissey". Brilliant 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Have you been to Mevagissey? It's beautiful unlike Mykonos which is dirty and tacky looking 😂😂😂
@@jennyoshea1958 summer holidays for 30+ years spent down the road in Pentewan. The annual trip to Cornwall wasn't complete without a visit to Meva.

Hi Ed enjoyed your amusing Clever blog ,your good at this mate ,will check you out more .Cheers Mate
I don't know why but I can't stop watching your videos lol
Me too!
Absolutely quality video 🤣🤣 Keep them coming.
Also saw you in Costa Del Norfolk watching the most boring football @ Carrow Road.
Hope you enjoyed the Match and the Beautiful Norfolk Weather.
I think this is the classic case of brits valuing value (aka cost in most people’s mind) over everything else. Could be the prettiest. Could be the most entertaining or relaxing. But if it’s seen as “not good value” it goes to the bottom of the list! I get it, and partly agree… but experience, culture, people, food should surely count for something over just “the price”!?
I first went to Mykonos in 1994 and there was always, even then, a Mykonos ‘premium’ which made it the priciest island but it was well worth it and we returned year after year. My most recent visit was 2019 and I decided it was my last. Rapacious profiteering had changed the atmosphere totally and multiple cruise ships in port at any one time meant that the main town, which used to be gorgeously serene during the day when people were at the beaches, was totally mobbed. I go to Naxos now (visible on the horizon from Mykonos) which is beautiful (greener and more fertile than Mykonos) and the beaches are superb (especially Agios Prokopios). It’s also a fraction of the cost with no ‘sunbed mafia’ carpeting every square inch of beach with beds and parasols at €70 a pop. I still have wonderful memories of days spent at Super Paradise Beach but unfortunately for me these days it’s a case of ‘Paradise Lost’
you should visit Nea Makri, Greece, went there last year... the locals are lovely but a very rural town :)
Spent many holidays in the 70s in Mykonos loved it I live in Morocco now a bit different!!!!!Also it's A LOT cheaper!!!
I think the most unfriendly place to holiday in Europe is the Dordogne France, i think i know as im Irish living here, i would not be able to live anywhere else but. wow find out four yourself Ed it would make for one hell of a video.
Killing it ED, Keep em coming. 👍
Thank you!
Loved the dinghy diver joke 😂😂😂😂was hilarious
Oh it’s rough there, better staying on mainland Greece 🇬🇷 great content as ever Ed, hilarious 🤣
People probably leave bad reviews to discourage others from going. That way, they have the place to themselves without too many annoying tourists.
LOL there is only one thing to say, "you prat!" Ouzo smells a bit like liquorish.....yes!!!!
I actually love that you just do the normal stuff in these videos that us everyday normies would do on holiday. After watching this, I have a MUCH better idea of whether I'd want to go to Mykonos or not, than I would if you'd been all like "Okay, I'm gonna go on a jet ski this morning with this Greek millionaire who's kindly agreed to sponsor this video - I'll tell you more about him and his amazing products later! - and then this afternoon I'll be chillaxing in the Infinity Pool of this exclusive hotel, which the owner has kindly agreed to let me make a full video tour of..."
"Imagen that being your life, you're just rolling about in rubble" 😂 love it
Since you're in Leeds, there are plenty of really good greek restaurants. Souvlaki in Headingley, Mythos for a takeaway 👌
"theres i migrant crisis here" LOL two people in a boat
Go to Athens and the border and you will see plenty, they just haven’t made it to the islands yet you muppet 😅
Are all the yoghurts out there Greek? You crack me up mate. Love your wit. Legendary 🙌
I'm paying restaurant prices like that right here where I live in the US, and this is not a resort town. But it is a college town
I went last year for a 10 days with the mrs. Found everyone exceptionally friendly, food was class and the beaches were lovely. Shocked people dont rate it at all!
Yeah absolutely, probably the friendliest service I've ever had at a hotel before
I think the shorts you were wearing when you bought the trunks would have served perfectly well as trunks and you could have saved your money.
Baclava, filo pastry, chopped pistachios and honey.....mmmmmmm
New subbie. Haha you’re hilarious but also good informative content. The hotel looked lovely.
Thank you! 😊
Loved this video bud, we're also from Leeds. If you ever fancy collaborating on a video we can both throw dry humour and cracking one liners at each other 🤣🔥
Keep it up lad 👊
Another video, another winner. Keep it up Ed.
Thank you!
It's priced to keep the Great Unwashed
Away!!! 😂😂
I've been to cleaner hippy communes!
Before you announced Mykonos, I thought you went to Blackpool
18 euro for that, in cyprus you can get that for half the price with a drink maybe even cheaper....
I was in Mykonos in the mid 70’s .Cheap as chips and unheard of .
After a crap day at work this was just what I needed to cheer me up 😀 It didn't look that bad to me, not my cup of tea but I can't believe that that is the worst in Europe. Thanks Ed 😀
I can never figure out why people confuse licorice and aniseed flavours, they're not very similar.
(Ouzo is aniseed)
Baklava! That is the dessert. Very nice.
That windmill looks like the 5th beatle
I think most of the complaints about Mykonos come from the summer months as it gets packed. Think it's one of the greek islands that have a cruise port. My mum has a Petros the pelican tattoo lol, shame u didn't sample the nightlife maybe next time
Living in London, those prices are bargains. Couldn’t get a meal out for that price in the south xx
Do a night in Grimsby and Cleethorpes mate 👍🏻
Just found you channel. Love it xxx
