The List: What to Pack for Mykonos

1. Ancient Greek Sandals

Walking along the cobbled streets of the gorgeous blue and white village, we recommend packing a great pair of sandals for the trip. Opt for something in leather to get you through the day of mooching around, and visiting all of the great local shops. Ioannis is a local Greek brand that you are sure to find in Mykonos, however if you can’t wait you can order these bad boys from @mykonoshoes by sending them a DM and they will deliver right to your doorstep in the UAE.

2. A Boho Chic Kimono

Of course being in Mykonos means endless beach days that turn into beach parties at Skorpios or a day out on the boat – so you have to have some great beach attire packed for the occasion. We discovered this really cool brand from Lebanon called Kimora Kimonos that have the PERFECT kimonos for a Mykonos trip. Their website is coming soon, but in the mean time if you want to order a style all you have to do is slide into their DMs and they will have you all sorted in time for your trip.

3. Get that Glow

There is nothing like that Mediterranean glow, and the sun in Mykonos with DEFS give you the best deep bronze tan. Of course it wouldn’t hurt to pack a tanning oil that with help enhance the insane tan you are about to get. Why not opt for supporting a local and all natural brand Beesline, who have a great tanning oil. This brand is made using all natural ingredients using the ancient science of Apitherapy – so you can enjoy the rays without having to worry about having any chemicals on your body.

4. Memories by Mini Polaroids

Mykonos is the ideal place for takin pics, literally every corner is a perfect photo opp – with its cute white and blue village, the beautiful old windmills and of course the gorgeous ocean. So that’s why we think that a phone just won’t be enough and you will defs have to pack a polaroid camera. The FujiFilm Instax is the perfect size to fit right into your suitcase – just don’t forget to pack some extra film, these pics are so cute you will soon get addicted to snapping away.

5. The Perfect Accessories

Of course no beach ensemble is complete without some serious jewel stacking going on. Wearing some beautiful gold accessories to perfectly compliment your gorgeous tan and white boho dress! Local fine jewelry designer @KarmaLuluJewelry from Jordan has the perfect collection of shell inspired fine jewelry that we are absolutely in love with!

6. A Little Romance

Now I know this might sound old school, but taking a good book with you on holiday is never a bad idea – especially when your going to be spending a lot of time relaxing out in the sun. We usually prefer to read something light and fun when tanning, so why not go for a bit of a rom com? Sohie Kinsella is literally the queen of writing the ultra girly romantic type of books (infamous for writing Confessions of a Shopaholic) . One of her latest releases is Surprise Me, the story of a couple who decide to try and add some spice into their marriage to keep things interesting – instead they find themselves in life-life-changing positions.

7. A View from Above

Now I know that we have already packed up our mini polaroid to take some fun pics, but thats more for cute pics with friends. There is still a beautiful landscape that you will want to capture while your there, and what better way than to do it from above? The new Hover Camera Passport is made for travelling. The pocket size drone can easily fit into any bag, and takes amazing pics from above. Film yourself in 360 with a panoramic view featuring your surroundings and of course yourself. This is a gadget that is definitely a must for your Myko trip!

8. Think Pom Poms

There’s no doubt that during your trip your going to be in nothing but your swimmers and cover ups – so might as well splurge on some really cute beach outfits that totally fit into the Mykonos vibe. A brand that we totally love for the beach is Pitusa from Miami. There collections are all made with super vibrant neon accents with their signature Inca trim. The light fabric is made from the finest Peruvian and Indian cotton – so this fabric is made for hot weather conditions and is super breathable. It is no surprise that we were over the moon when local e-tailer www.namshi.com started carrying the collection!
