A white spectacle tinged with the fuchsia touch of the Bouganvillea flowers, romantic sunsets and nostalgic windmills, is what will welcome you as soon as landed in one of the most loved Cyclades islands: Mykonos.
Saying that Mykonos’ fame is only given by its nightlife and fun would not do justice to the beauty of its landscapes and hidden places to be discovered. Not only happy hours and fun, which are absolutely guaranteed, but the island also hides many surprises that we’re sure you don’t want to miss. Do you want to know which are they? Here are all the wonderful things to experience in the beautiful Mykonos island:
Let’s start from the city, whether you call it Chora, Hora or Mykonos, the centre of the city is a gem in the perfect Greek style. Blue and white are the backgrounds of a fall of typical houses and rocky alleys that will guide you through the central streets. Bougainvillaea flowers are at the entrance of traditional restaurants, art galleries, taverns and typical boutiques, like the ones in Matoyianni, that in the night leave space to super funny pubs with live music and after-parties. The combination between the nightlife and being a typically Greek pacific island is the basis of Mykonos’ eclecticism, as well as one of the main reasons why thousands of tourists choose it every summer to spend their holidays.
The most famous district in Mykonos is Little Venice, made by a series of traditional Greek houses by the sea that creates a magic atmosphere in perfect style with its name, that recalls the most romantic city in the world. Let’s not forget, however, about one of the greatest beauties of the island: its golden beaches and crystal-clear waters. One of the most loved bays is Agios Stefanos, where among golden sand dunes you’ll be able to enjoy some of the best Mykonos’ sunsets. Platys Gialos is another one of the most loved touristic spots, thanks to its wonderful 3 beaches: Psarou, Platys Gialos and Agios Anna. Among these spectacular sceneries made of white sand, you’ll experience some happy hours in perfect Mykonos style, that starting from the sunset turn on the whole atmosphere creating a unique mood.
