Map of Mykonos Island in Greece
Mykonos
Mykonos is one of the most famous islands
in the Aegean and attracts thousands of visitors every year. It
has the reputation of having one of the most sophisticated
nightlife in Greece and the Mediterranean.
As well and the designer boutiques, trendy bars and elegant
restaurants Mykonos is also an island which offers beautiful
landscapes, picturesque white painted villages, hundreds of little
churches, windmills and some of the most extraordinary golden
sandy beaches in the Cyclades.
Mykonos is a cosmopolitan island that has been made notorious in
the last decades by the international jet set visitors that spend
here their holidays. Mykonos beaches are magnificent, the
nightlife surprising and the atmosphere unique.

This upmarket Greek island is a sophisticated,
fashionable favourite destination particularly for
the gay travellers, and probably because of its
popularity it has become reputedly the most
expensive of all the islands. Its designer shops,
colourful tavernas and throbbing dance clubs are
doing a roaring trade, but despite the trendy crowds
and a couple of well-attended nudist beaches, the
island retains its traditional flavour while its
trademark five thatched windmills turn slowly on the
hill. Tourists to Mykonos who would like to do some
serious sightseeing can visit the archaeological
museum on the island, which displays some finds from
the necropolis on nearby Rhenia. It is also possible
to take a trip across to the uninhabited island of
Delos (just six nautical miles away), which is an
important World Heritage archaeological site, having
been the religious and political centre of the
Aegean in ancient times. Explore the temples and the
Avenue of the Lions, and see some stunning archaic
sculptures in the museum.
Paros is one of the larger islands of the
Cyclades and is becoming more popular as a spillover
from the busier islands of Mykonos and Santorini.
Its main drawcards are good sandy beaches and old
world traditional fishing villages, which come with
reasonably priced hotels and a vibrant nightlife.
The island’s main port is Parikia, which has a
ruined Venetian castle and an impressive Byzantine
church to its credit. The resort town of Naoussa on
the north coast is close to the island's best
beaches. On a separate island section, known as
Antiparos and separated from the larger section by a
channel, is an interesting chapel cavern and more
lovely beaches. |
