Explore Mykonos

Less prominent in antiquity as the poor relation of Delos, Mykonos Island Greece was once an impoverished Athenian colony. These shifting tides of poverty and wealth, of isolation and inundation, created a tolerant and progressive race. Their notorious hospitality hastened Mykonos' evolution into the playground of the rich and famous. Gradually, archaeologists and intellectuals en route to the ancient site at Delos began to recognise Mykonos in its own right. Artists came for the architecture - le Corbusier once said that, unless you had seen the houses of Mykonos, you could not pretend to be an architect. Poets praised the dazzling light. And the locals charmed everyone, with their easygoing generosity. By the early 1970s, the free-spirited and fun-loving Mykonians, had attracted a large style-conscious crowd to the island. Today, Mykonos is still undoubtedly the best-dressed island in Greece.

Our Guest Relations Officers will be happy to discuss and arrange your Mykonos excursions and sightseeing options, transportation and reservations.

Mykonos is the most famous tourist island in the Eastern Mediterranean and certainly the most cosmopolitan among the Cyclades, something which is not just by chance. Mykonos (which actually is a part of small group of islands, together with Delos, Rhenia and various rocky islets) easily captures the visitors interest, thanks to the great variety of choices offer here. There is something for everyone, whether one is demanding or unprepared a night owl, a typical world traveller or a nature lover; “holidays” here can mean anything from the most peaceful relaxation to the wildest partying.

As long as the sun is shining, the island’s greatest attractions are the many beautiful beaches and the clean blue-green sea. Locations that are easily accessible by public transportation or "far from the madding crowd"; family style beaches or those frequented mainly by wind-surfers – or flocks of nudists.

The island that never sleeps!

Day and night, Mykonos glitters like a finely polished jewel. Movie stars and magnates mingle with weekend clubbers in Mykonos Town’s warren of white-washed passages as casually as the shiny yachts bobbing on the surf next to the brightly painted fishing boats strung with yellow nets. An island of opposites, the austere lines of its traditional architecture conceal opulent interiors of holiday villas owned by jet-setting pop stars and millionaires. The social whirlwind of the beach parties and nightlife vibrates against the tranquility of remote, secluded coves.The frenzy rhythms of the famous cosmopolitan bars and clubs of the island may carry you away in an endless spree until the rising of the sun. There are no strict dress code rules as to end up dancing in some of the historic clubs of Chora with your swimsuit and sunglasses!

Mykonos Island Greece is the perfect getaway: somewhere you can find yourself as easily as you can lose yourself in the crowd. And there’s only one place where these two worlds meet: Mykonos Blu. Set on a bluff overlooking the gold-tinged sand of the world-famous beach at Psarou, the resort is perfectly poised between the island’s two worlds – secluded, yet close enough to town for you to join the party minutes after the urge strikes.

From Chopard and Rolex jewelry boutiques to Roberto Cavalli on the beach! It’s a shopper’s paradise; where else can you shop at 23:00? High street brands, jewel houses with little treasures inside, furniture stores, small souvenir shops there is something for everyone!  It’s impossible to compare shopping in Mykonos with any other town because the local atmosphere makes the difference. Imagine clothes and accessories of famous designers like Christian Dior or Donna Karan presented against the white-washed walls of Mykonos!
 
Metogianni Street, the most commercial street of Chora, is surrounded by small shops that despite their small exteriors are an Alladin’s cave of Greek & foreign jewellery houses, clothes, shoes, underwear, handbags, accessories, cosmetics etc.  Mykonos art galleries open their doors every summer to welcome the art-lovers.
