Mykonos is the epitome of a Greek Island by day & rivaling Ibiza by night!
Cobbled alleyways wind around white cubist houses with blue shutters, house wives shop from donkeys bearing panniers of fresh fruit & vegetables – it would seem that nothing has changed since the 1960’s until you notice that the houses now hold designer boutiques, or spot international celebrities taking their coffee at the pavement cafes lining the port. The picturesque fishing village has grown into a cosmopolitan destination with its own unique character, sophisticated & charmingly simple at the same time.
By day the blue sky & crystal clear waters attract sun lovers to the beaches of Platy Yialos, Paradise & Super Paradise where the party carries on around the clock. Traditional wooden fishing boats called caiques, ply between the beaches & provide the transport for a beach hopping or full island cruise.
Exploring the island doesn’t take long as it is small, only 87 square kilometers. Nearby Delos Island is an archaeological site of note & well worth taking the half day trip to gaze at the famous stone lions, mosaics & frescos. Trendy new restaurants with celebrity chefs vie with traditional tavernas; whether you want up-market or down-home style, they all offer delicious Greek food.
Houses in Mykonos town have been discreetly modified as shops, keeping the image & character of a village while offering everything from designer clothing to jewelry & works of art. Operating hours in Mykonos reflect the party lifestyle, only opening 10am or later, but remaining open until late into the night.
When the sun goes down Mykonos comes to life. Watch the sun go down with a cocktail at Little Venice overlooking the sea, move on to dinner in one of the delightful restaurants, stroll through the streets for a look at the shops before heading to one of the many bars, discos & night clubs. The party only stops when you run out of energy!
Mykonos offers hedonistic delights of relaxing, dining & partying to your heart’s content.
Whether for a reward group, leisure or combining business with pleasure, Mykonos never goes out of style as an incentive destination.
