The island of Mykonos is quite big, with an area of 85 square kilometres and a population of 6600 inhabitants.
The island
is part of the Aegean group of island called Cyclades
and lies between Tinos, Syros, Naxos and Paros.
As a typical Cycladic island, Mykonos’ landscape
is very stony and hilly and almost treeless, with
only a few olive trees and a few bushes.
Delos and Rhenia are the islets surrounding Mykonos
and closely related to it’ they were Greece’s most
important spiritual centres during ancient times
with Delphi and the acropolis of Athens.
They both are hilly and treeless, almost deserted, with a very few shepherds and many lizards wondering around the ruins of the great Ancient Greek civilization.
