In 2027, Orthodox Easter Sunday is 2 May. The key moments are the Good Friday Epitaphios processions on 30 April and the Resurrection service at midnight on Saturday 1 May.
How is Easter celebrated on Mykonos?
Mykonos has hundreds of churches and chapels. On Good Friday, flower-covered Epitaphios biers are carried through the lanes of Chora by candlelight. At midnight on Saturday, candles are lit at the churches as fireworks mark the Resurrection, and on Sunday families gather for spit-roasted lamb. Easter is also when many hotels and restaurants open for the season.
How do you get around Mykonos at Easter?
Chora's lanes are pedestrian, and the island's roads are narrow. Your chauffeur will drop you near the old port or Fabrika and collect you after the service, and can take you to Ano Mera or a beach taverna for Easter lunch.
