With whitewashed houses, beautiful beaches and bright blue skies, Mykonos is an island utopia.
Mykonos is a stunning Greek island in the Aegean Sea. It has long been known for its bustling nightlife and party atmosphere, but put that aside and you will find idyllic beaches, whitewashed houses, wonderful windmills and hospitality like nowhere else on earth.
Stroll around Mykonos Town with its beautiful harbour and pass through the picturesque area of Little Venice where you will find lots of pretty cafes, bars and boutiques. Mykonos Town is also home to the whitewashed Paraportiani Church where tourists like to gather to watch the glorious sunset.
Close to Mykonos Town, you will find five iconic windmills overlooking the sea. Dating back to the 16th century, the windmills were once part of the island's history of grain milling. Today, they serve as a reminder of Mykonos’ past and provide a picture perfect spot not to be missed.
The oldest village in Mykonos, Ano Meria, is a truly romantic spot where you can witness the daily lives of locals while visiting the lavishly decorated 18th century monastery of Pangia Tourliani. With bakeries, tavernas and cafes all featuring outdoor terraces, Ano Meria is the ideal place to enjoy a leisurely lunch in the sun.
The beaches of Mykonos are spectacular with many of them featuring pretty bars, cabanas, and shisha lounges. If you're looking for a truly wild party day or night, head to Paradise Beach or Super Paradise Beach.
Elia Beach and Psarou Beach are quieter options and allow for relaxation and sunbathing, while Kafais Beach is a great option for windsurfing and other watersports.
Many visitors opt for Agios Ioannis Beach where the 1989 rom-com ‘Shirley Valentine’ was filmed. Fans of the movie can enjoy dinner at the Sunset Taverna (now called the Hippie Fish), where Shirley found love. This beautiful beach area is adorned with luxury resort hotels and beautiful boutiques.
Whether you are looking for a party or you just want to relax and soak up the Greek culture, Mykonos is a must-visit destination, offering a little slice of heaven on earth.
