RIVER ISLAND RESORT GUIDES: MYKONOS

Lizzie, a member of our Style Collective, recently jetted off to Mykonos for the first time for her best friend’s Hen Do and, in her words, “it had EVERYTHING”. Think chilled beach clubs, late-night bars where you can dance on the tables and 10/10 food. She'd go back in a heartbeat, so if you're planning a trip to the gorgeous Greek island, here's everything she recommends.

BEST PLACE FOR LUNCH


Soho Roc House! The food was delicious, but my personal favourites were the watermelon matcha and half roast chicken with the Greek salad (we ordered GS everywhere we went). Plus, the views are just gorgeous there so make sure you leave enough time for a post-lunch swimit’s basically mandatory

SUNDOWNER DESTINATION 


If I could only go back to one place in Mykonos, it would be Scorpios. I thought it would be overhyped, but it lived up to its reputation. The food was mega, best food we had in Mykonos and the vibes were VIBINN.

WHAT TO WEAR BY DAY


This RI x Terry Havilland co-ord was the perfect set for an easy throw on daytime outfit with maximal impact. It requires minimal braincells when the hangover was hitting.

WHAT TO WEAR BY NIGHT


The first night’s theme was ‘Disco Till I Do’ so there was only one option: sequins. I wore this gorgeous green sequin dress which I paired with the iconic blue raffia bag. I loved how the colours paired so well together. Plus, with my favourite RI heels, it was just the perfect first night outfit.

SHOPPING HOTSPOT


If you're after a little retail therapy, Mykonos Old Town is a must. It’s great for jewellery, raffia bags and stunning sunnies. I love that all shops adhere to the Cycladic architectural style.
