Mykonos 2022: DJ and party schedules, regular music events and season closing dates

Share

With the arrival of autumn, the Greek Islands have moved into shoulder season  — and even on busy Mykonos, the atmosphere has become much quieter, with a noticeably more chill and relaxed vibe than the frenetic and crowded party months of July and August.

As happens every September, clubs and restaurants gradually begin to close as the tourist crowds slowly thin out. The pace of closures picks up in early October and accelerates by mid-month. Sometimes businesses provide advance notice of their season finale parties or closing dates but, more often, venues shutter their doors with little or no prior announcement.

Below is a listing of popular beach clubs, nightclubs and restaurants that have already wrapped up their operations or that have announced their season-ending party celebrations.

On page 3 of this post, you can see our at-a-glance roundup of regular DJ shows, parties and live music events that took place on Mykonos this summer on each day of the week, along with some of the summer event calendars for major clubs including Alemagou, Cavo Paradiso, Ftelia Pacha, Sanctus, SantAnna, Super Paradise, The Sanctuary, Tropicana and Void. They will give you an idea of the events you might expect to find if you happen to visit Mykonos during 2023.

  1. Great Blog! Thank you! Which of these parties would you recommend for me to enjoy dancing with my teen girls (18 and 17)… first and last chance for me to “party” with my girls! Thank you

      Paradise beach would likely be the best place for partying with your daughters, since two of the clubs there — Paradise and Tropicana — are geared to a young crowd (mainly 20s, but also late teens and 30s). They are close together so you can check out both party scenes to see which you all prefer. ITBeach is another option there with a somewhat older demographic because it’s more expensive.

      However, it might be a good idea to have your daughters scan through my blog post to see which venues they might prefer. They could check social media pages for each club to see which party scene appeals to them the most.

  2. Which clubs/bars and beach clubs are still open and holding events in the first and second week of September?

      Looks like all of the beach clubs will be open until at least mid September. None have announced their closing dates yet.

  3. Are there many major DJs in September in Mykonos or do the international ones finish in August?

      I would say there are some, rather than many, and mostly at Scorpios and in early September ay Alemagou.

      • We’re planning a trip to Europe (from the US) with a few friends for a 40th birthday – arriving September 8 and were hoping to do Mykonos (Ibiza as a fallback). I know it’s no longer high season, but would you expect a lot of lively action still at this time of year, or better to go straight to Ibiza?

          The island will still be buzzing and lively. Some clubs will be closed or closing by the 8th, but there will be plenty more still open, including Scorpios, Ftelia, Alemagou and Cavo Paradiso, as well as the clubs at Paradise, Super Paradise and Paraga. September is always busy on Mykonos because it’s considered the best month to visit by many travellers. Can’t comment on how Ibiza compares because I haven’t been there.
