Celebrate the NYE in Some of the Traditional Greek Restaurants
Although the majority of the international restaurants and famous beach clubs are open only during the summer season, most traditional Greek tavernas held by locals work year-round. During the winter holidays, these restaurants are mostly decorated and in a festive atmosphere. In places like this, you will be able to celebrate New Year’s Eve in a traditional Greek way and shout eftychisméno to néo étos once the clock hits midnight.
Include Greek Food in Your Celebration
You can not possibly imagine winter festivities without some tasty food. If you decide to spend your NYE in a local Greek taverna, you will have the opportunity to try some amazing specialties well-known in Greek cuisine.
Greeks are known for their Christmas bread, Vasilopita cake, and cookies such as melomakarona and kourabiedes, which they prepare only during winter festivities, so that is the only time when you can try them. If you are a gourmand – this type of celebration is something that will most likely sweep you off your feet.

Attend the Traditional NYE Countdown on a Public Square
Before the grand end of the old year, Mykonos gets all dressed up in festive lights and gorgeous decorations, and there is a joyful atmosphere on the streets of the main town.

Through the streets of Chora, Old Harbour, and Little Venice, you can hear different instruments playing some authentic rhythms of Cycladic music. Enjoying the atmosphere while taking a walk through the town or having a glass of wine or champagne at some local bars while waiting for the countdown is the best decision you can make.

In Greece, the Party Does Not Stop After the NYE
If you are considering spending New Year’s Eve on Mykonos, keep in mind that you might want to extend your stay. In Greece, the cheerful atmosphere does not stop after the clock strikes midnight. As a matter of fact, Greeks celebrate winter festivities all the way till the 6th of January, when the Greek Orthodox Church celebrates the blessing of the waters (the Epiphany).
So, you might want to consider making your Mykonos vacation a bit longer. Prolong it at least up until this holiday so that you can enjoy the traditional Greek festivities for a little longer. Trust us, there will be many fun things to do, and you and your loved ones will have a perfect time.
Why stop partying after the NYE? Greece is all about festivities during January
