Learn More about Mýkonos

The trendiest of the Cyclades is also one of the most beautiful islands in the archipelago.

Partygoers and local fishermen meet in the early hours of the morning in the old port, some ready to go to sleep, others selling their fish... Despite the tourist influx, Mykonos has managed to remain authentic. This is one of the assets of this postcard-perfect island, with its small white houses, windmills, chapels and churches.

A stay in Mykonos offers cultural discoveries with the presence of several monasteries, including that of Ano Méra, beautiful beaches and countless bars and discos to party!

Trendy, festive, cosmopolitan, hyper-touristic this is Mykonos

The many qualifiers that are used to describe the star island of the Cyclades sometimes make us forget that it is above all one of the most beautiful and most typical. You will meet a lot of nightclubbers but you will also see an old fisherman selling his fish on the harbor, a pelican in goguette, or a farmer pulling a heavily loaded donkey in the white alleys of this big village.

It is one of the assets of Mykonos to have preserved its natural and historical heritage in spite of the tourist influx and the numerous constructions that grow on the 80 km of coastline. On the superb beaches of the south of the island Livadi and Elia Beach as well as in the interior (to visit for example the monasteries of Panagia Tourliani or Palaiokastrou), the typical Cycladic architecture (small square buildings of one or two floors whitewashed with blue shutters) has been respected.

Hotels are no exception to the rule. Although there is a wide range of establishments (from the small family hotel in the heights of Mykonos to the 150-room seaside complex), they are always integrated into the environment.
