Culture, hospitality, events and what moves Mykonos.
THE ISLAND, IN PERSPECTIVE
Independent reporting and analysis across culture, hospitality, events, art, gastronomy and the forces shaping Mykonos.
SPORT · MUNICIPAL DECISION
The council approves a race in the Marmarokopio–Profitis Ilias area. Its decision establishes the date and permitted use, while the course and participation details remain to be announced.
PORT · PRACTICAL INFORMATION
A request does not secure a berth. Reading the Port Fund’s booking conditions alongside its linked tariff decisions explains the two 24-hour deadlines, the catamaran supplement and why a daily rate is not the whole bill.
LOCAL ECONOMY · MUNICIPAL DECISIONS
The Municipal Committee sets €4,800 a year for Ano Mera and €8,400 for Mykonians in the reserved 30% of kiosk positions. Comparison with the June decisions shows what has changed—and what the new document does not settle.
LOCAL GOVERNMENT · DIGITAL SERVICES
A September committee decision approves termination by mutual agreement after the award was annulled. The published record establishes the decision, but not a signed termination agreement, a replacement provider or a service interruption.
COMMUNITY · PUBLIC SPACES
September decisions allocate indoor and outdoor school-gym hours for volleyball and an Ano Mera hall for free classes. Permission to use a space still needs a separate attendance programme.
MUNICIPALITY · OPEN DATA
A mayoral decision appoints a data-use officer and administrator for the national portal. It defines responsibility for publishing and maintaining datasets, without announcing a new public dataset.
PORT · INFRASTRUCTURE
The Port Fund reports that installation has started on a €3.7 million project, with completion expected by December 2026. The intervention concerns vessel berthing.
ANO MERA · SPORTS FACILITIES
Mykonos Council approved a 90-day extension for the three courts in Ano Mera. The decision records a revised project total of €281,338.62 including VAT, without adding a new budget increase.
EDUCATION · MUNICIPAL FUNDING
€51,744 is earmarked for cleaning payroll through December 2026 and €27,710 for school operating costs. The two decisions establish acceptance of funding, with implementation still to be traced.
HOUSING · PUBLIC SERVICES
The municipal council has approved the need for accommodation leases. Its supporting proposal envisages buildings for 15–25 people each, with tender terms still to follow.
PUBLIC HEALTH · COUNCIL DECISION
The municipal council has set support for five nurses. Its decision defines the financial commitment; staffing and the start of treatment still require separate confirmation.
TRANSPORT · AIRPORT
Runway reconstruction brings weekly winter closures. The dates and holiday exceptions travellers need to check.
PUBLIC DOCUMENTS · HOUSING
The government’s list includes the settlement. The proposed relief concerns qualifying main homes, not all Mykonos properties.
THE ILLUSTRATED EDIT · FEATURE 01
Sea-view retreats, art above Elia and a day across the water. An island experience shaped around you.
