Description of Mykonos

One of the hottest tourist destinations in the world and the second most popular destination in Greece, Mykonos is known for its cosmopolitan lifestyle and active nightlife.

Built in Cycladic architecture, Chora, the capital of the island, is lined with traditional small houses having flat roofs, brightly painted wooden doors and windows and balconies overflowing with flowers in a burst of colors set on paved narrow streets that add to the magical allure of Mykonos. In a small quarter of the island, where western culture meets the Aegean Sea, there is a different type of architecture. Called “Little Venice”, the place is full of beautiful Venetian houses located right on the waterfront with their balconies overhanging the waters. It is believed that this special type of construction was necessary for the quick loading and unloading of goods way back in the 16th and 17th century when pirates roamed the high seas.

Highly cosmopolitan with numerous cafes, bars and shops, Little Venice is pretty popular with tourists and it is regarded by many as one of most beautiful spots in Cyclades. Another beautiful spot of Mykonos is the hill with the windmills, on top of a hill overlooking the town. These traditional windmills have been renovated and give nice view to the port, Chora and the amazing sunset of Mykonos, when the bright sun dives into the sea with an orange background.

Apart from the picturesque spots, Mykonos is also popular for its sandy beaches, which are lined with beach bars and water sports centers. Beach parties are held all day and night in Mykonos and the atmosphere is always vivid. Most beaches are organized with sun beds and umbrellas and people can practice various sea sports, such as banana, jet ski and windsurfing. Most popular beaches include Super Paradise, Paranga and Elia on the southern side of the island, however more quiet beaches can also be found on the north of Chora.
Highly developed in tourism but still keeping its traditional character, Mykonos is mostly recognized as the island of youth and fun, the island that never sleeps!
