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 swim – it’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 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.
