Mykonos is an enchanting destination not only because of the cosmopolitan, luxurious and buzzing life it prides itself in, but because of its elegance, its finesse and the beauty of its landscape. A mesmerizing place where narrow, cobblestone alleys, zig-zag through colourful shops and market stands, through traditional backyards and local taverns. Wander down the busy winding paths, explore traditional villages, settlements and the landmark Windmills, reach the turquoise, crystalline waters of the Aegean Sea and nestle under the purple foliage of the bougainvilleas, hanging lazily over the famous white walls of Cycladic architecture.
Mykonos thrives in its grand variety of things to do, and beautiful places to visit while staying on the island. Whether you opt for high-end, gourmet dishes and you wish to visit the best restaurants in Mykonos or you want to enjoy the sun and explore the best beaches on Mykonos, one thing is certain, you will love every minute of it. The island hosts some of the world’s most popular clubs while at the same time, it boasts some of the most secluded and peaceful beaches on which you can relax in tranquility, go fishing, swimming and snorkeling too.
