Mykonos is one of Europe’s best-known party destinations, but it is not cannabis-friendly from a legal standpoint. Recreational cannabis remains illegal throughout Greece, including Mykonos, and there are no licensed dispensaries, coffeeshops, or cannabis clubs. Although cannabis is sometimes present within the island’s nightlife, it exists as an underground and discreet part of the party scene rather than an open feature.
Cannabis Culture in Mykonos
The island attracts international visitors, DJs, and luxury tourism, creating an atmosphere where some recreational drug use occurs. However:
Cannabis use generally takes place at private villas, apartments, yacht parties, or within trusted social groups.
Public smoking on beaches, streets, or inside clubs is illegal and may attract police attention.
Beach clubs focus primarily on electronic music, champagne service, cocktails, and dancing rather than cannabis culture.
Pricing
Recent Greek police information released during a 2026 drug trafficking investigation indicated street cannabis in Mykonos was being sold for approximately:
Raw cannabis: around €20 per gram
Processed cannabis: around €30 per gram
These figures come from a specific criminal investigation and should be viewed as indicative rather than fixed market prices. Prices and quality can vary significantly, particularly in tourist destinations where visitors may be charged more.
Nightlife areas where cannabis may be encountered
These areas are famous for nightlife and occasionally have reports of discreet cannabis use among some partygoers, but they are not legal or designated cannabis areas:
Paradise Beach – One of the island’s best-known beach party destinations with DJs and late-afternoon parties extending into the evening.
Super Paradise Beach – Popular with international visitors and known for energetic beach clubs and nightlife. Informal cannabis use has been reported by some visitors, but it remains illegal.
