When it comes to islands in Greece, the gorgeous Island of the Winds definitely takes the first spot. Mykonos is known as one of the most popular summer destinations in the world. But is Mykonos good for shopping? Will true shopaholics be satisfied with the selection of stores in this small piece of paradise? Let’s see if this is a place where you can shop till you drop.
It Might Be Beautiful, but Is Mykonos Good for Shopping?
The gorgeous island of Mykonos is known for its exclusivity, being not only one of the most beautiful destinations in the world but also one of the most expensive ones as well. It’s the go-to spot for many millionaires and celebrities who love spending time on this island because it offers everything you need for a perfect summer vacation – from some of the best beaches and food in the world to designer shops. What more could you ask for?
You can find anything you set your mind on. This island is so dedicated to fashion that it offers unique pieces you can’t find anywhere else. It’s a true paradise for shopaholics, just keep in mind that Greek working hours could be different than what you’re used to.

If you had the opportunity to visit only one shop while you’re visiting Mykonos, it should definitely be Scorpios Bazaar. The shop is a wonderful experience in itself, even if you don’t have a cent to spend. Scorpios Bazaar is located close to Paraga, and it best reflects the traditional Mediterranean style of Greece, the whole shop looks like it took place in Greek mythology.
Everything is made out of natural, organic materials, and they offer a wide range of products, from all the clothes your heart desires to beautiful jewelry, art, pottery, and even homeware pieces. The only thing to keep in mind is that this store isn’t open throughout the entire year, only in the warmer months, from May to September, so if your travel plans match this window of time, you have to visit this wonderful attraction.
