Best Places for a Mykonos Proposal
How does one get ideas and plan for the perfect marriage proposal while on vacation in Mykonos? Choosing a gorgeous destination is an almost certain step towards success, so you are already on the right track!
Most Romantic Places to Propose
Mykonos is all about the beautiful views of the Aegean Sea. Here are the top romantic Mykonos proposal ideas we have captured in the past few years.
The Old Port
Explore the narrow, picturesque streets and check out all the boutiques, cafes, and art galleries. There are beautiful photo spots all around the Old Port area with the whitewashed buildings and blue doors! There are also many curious cats that wander around.
Agios Stefanos Beach
Agios Stefanos is the closest beach to town, and it is about 100 meters (120 yards) long. It is north of Troulos and the new port. It is much less windy, but it can get very crowded during the summertime.
Little Venice
Little Venice is one of the most romantic places in Mykonos with the narrow alleys giving it its Italian name. This busy neighborhood has pretty views of the sea and of the windmills on the hill. It is also our favorite spot to see the sunset on the island.
Private & Quiet Places to Propose
Maybe you are looking for a more private & memorable engagement? Or would you prefer something simple yet creative? Choosing the setting and the best spot to propose in Mykonos is the first step for any plan.
The Windmills
Also known as Kato Milli, the windmills are within walking distance of the Old Port. Most of the Cycladic islands had windmills operating from the 16th until the late 19th century. They are probably the most notable and picturesque attractions in town.
Fun fact: You can actually rent one of the windmills to stay in them! Imagine waking up to views of the Aegean Sea or watching the sunset from your large private terrace.
Paraportiani Church
There are 365 churches on the island (one for each day of the year). However, the Paraportiani Church is definitely the most important. It is located at the entrance of Kastro neighborhood, and it dates back to the Byzantine era. It has spectacular views of the Aegean Sea, so we highly recommend going during sunset.
Marriage Proposal Ideas in Mykonos, Greece
You have probably already day-dreaming about the big moment, so get a block of paper and start brainstorming any proposal ideas that come to mind. The first thing that you have to do is create the perfect scenario that you can turn into a reality while on vacation in Mykonos.
Also, it’s good to write down what you think you should say and how you want the engagement to look. After sitting down and jotting down your ideas, go through the list, and circle your top 3 ideas.
Try to fine-tune the ideas and reach out to anyone that may be able to help you with each specific plan; e.g. the restaurant manager, a group of musicians, or a local florist. With your top 3 ideas in mind, you’ll easily be able to narrow it down to your favorite after doing this last bit of research. Then all that is left is to pull it off to have a surprise that your spouse will remember for the rest of their life.
