For all Halachic times today in Mykonos
The official language in Greece is Greek, but English is widely spoken across Mykonos. Most service providers speak English well.
Mykonos is a peaceful Greek island and considered a safe destination. No antisemitic incidents have been reported, making it comfortable to walk around with a kippah or visible Jewish attire, even in the evening.
That said, it’s always recommended to follow basic safety precautions:
Large amounts of cash and important documents should be kept in the hotel safe (note that in some hotels, safes are only available in a central location, not in the room).
In crowded places – stay alert.
For added security, keep the Rhodes emergency numbers handy:

Even in summer, evenings may be cool – we recommend bringing a light sweater or jacket. Mykonos is known as the “Island of Winds.”
Renting a car, scooter, or ATV is highly recommended – the island is not flat and has many hills and slopes.
Walking around the island is not very comfortable: sidewalks are rare, and most walking is done alongside vehicle roads.
Staying in Mykonos and want to cook with full kosher standards?
Chabad of Mykonos offers professional kitchen koshering services in villas and hotels – for a fee – performed by G-d-fearing mashgichim (kosher supervisors) who came especially from abroad.

Koshering Process
Step 1 – Deep Cleaning:

After cleaning, the kitchen must remain unused for 24 hours.

After the process, you’ll be able to cook with the highest level of kosher standards and peace of mind.
