Mykonos island has long been a favourite with the rich and famous from all over the world and certainly one of the most glamorous and cosmopolitan islands in Greece if not in the whole of the Mediterranean. The island is part of the Cyclades with an area of 105km² (41 sq miles) and situated only 2 hours by fast boat from Athens (or 40 minutes by plane).
According to Greek mythology the battle of Zeus and the Gigantes took place on the island and the island took its name from Mykonos, son Anios the legendary king of Delos, and a descendant of the god Apollo. Day trips to the nearby ancient Delos island, a UNESCO World Heritage Site is a rewarding way of stepping back in time.
Landmarks of the island include the white cubist houses, golden sandy beaches, windmills dating back to the 16th century and Petros the Pelican, who has been in Mykonos town for 50 years! Well, at least Petros the Second is able to continue the legacy!
The capital town of Mykonos is beautifully chic with narrow streets lined with designer clothes shops, artists’ studios, upmarket restaurants and trendy bars and clubs. The nightlife in Mykonos is often rated as the best in Europe. A wonderful place to watch the sunset with a cocktail is Little Venice where you find cafes and bars that lap the water’s edge. If you go off the beaten track you will find quiet areas of the island and small family-run tavernas.
