When planning a summer vacation in Greece, you always expect that the weather will be terrific and you’ll be able to enjoy the sunshine every day. However, there’s always a tiny chance that you’ll maybe experience a rainy day on Mykonos. Still, there’s no need to stress about it. You can do plenty of fun things to take advantage of the bad weather. You can still enjoy your holiday even when it’s pouring rain.
Chances of Having a Rainy Day on Mykonos During the Summer Are Minimal
If you are planning to travel to Greece and vacation on Mykonos, you may be wondering what weather you can expect and hether rainfalls are common in this part of the country. Whether or not you’ll experience rain during your stay mainly depends on the month you are traveling.
If you are planning a summer vacation – the chances of experiencing rainfall are pretty minimal. This island rarely gets any rain during the summer season from May to September. These months are usually always sunny with a pleasant climate. However, during the fall and winter months, the chances are higher you’ll experience some cloudy and rainy days.
December Is the Month With the Highest Rainfall Averages
If you are not a fan of rainy weather, you should avoid going on an island vacation during the fall and winter months. The rainfall season here starts in September, but December weather is the “worst,” with the highest number of days with high chances of precipitation.
This is the month with the highest percentage of rainfall, with an average rainfall of 2.6 inches. However, if you prefer occasional rainfall days over snow and freezing temperatures in your home country – winter holidays and Christmas on the beach might be a perfect choice.

When the Rain Falls and the Temperature Drops, Stay Inside and Engage in Some Indoor Activities
If the rain falls while you’re on your Mykonos vacation, there’s no need to feel blue about it. You won’t be able to sunbathe on gorgeous beaches and swim in the sea, but there are plenty of other things to do. When it’s pouring rain, it’s best to consider some indoor activities, which can be entertaining.
Even though you might have already planned them for your holiday itinerary, rainfall is a perfect time for those fun activities. If you choose to stay inside of your Mykonos villa or hotel, here’s something you should try out:
- Board games,
- Reading,
- Playing cards,
- Beer pong,
- Movies and TV shows.

Spend the Bad Weather Day Pampering in a Wellness Center
Holidays should be all about self-care, rejuvenation, and recharging your batteries. One of the best ways to do this is by booking a spa day. And when is a better time to do that than on a day like this? Most of the best hotels offer Wellness programs and SPA packages.
We recommend spending time during rainfalls indulging in renewing treatments, relaxing massages, and swimming in the indoor pools. SPA centers here offer some of the most exclusive treatments, and you can even have masseurs and beauticians come to your Mykonos villa. Our concierge service will gladly book you a private spa arrangement at your request.

Not being able to chill on the beach is a great opportunity to book a spa or pampering day. This destination is full of different wellness and spa centers and beauty parlors, so you can make an appointment and have some quality “me time.”
If you are on a honeymoon vacation, booking a spa appointment and a relaxing massage for you and your partner could be a really nice and romantic activity. It is a great chance to give yourself a break from being an active tourist and spend some time taking care of your mind and soul.
