What to Rent for a Weekend in Mykonos

Mykonos rewards the traveller who packs almost nothing. Days are salt-air and linen; evenings turn sharp the moment the sun drops behind Little Venice. The mistake is bringing a suitcase for both. The fix is renting the second half on arrival.

Start with daywear that survives a boat: loose linen, a swim set you would happily be photographed in, and one cover-up that reads as an outfit when you sit down for lunch in Ornos. Everything else is sandals and sunglasses.

Evenings are where the rental pays for itself. A single well-cut dress or a crisp shirt-and-trouser pairing carries you through Matoyianni and dinner in Chora without a second thought — collected from your pickup point on arrival, returned before your flight.

Three days, six pieces, zero checked bags. Collect from a pickup point minutes from the old port, and hand it all back on your way out.
