The undisputed star of Greek tourism, Mykonos is the trendy Cycladic island. With nearly one million visitors each year, the island is undoubtedly the country’s flagship destination. Despite several decades of unrestrained tourism, the village of Mykonos has not lost its charm.

Small white houses with blue flowers and shutters, painted streets, windmills, pigeon lofts, small churches and superb restaurants and cafes are worth a visit. The port keeps an astonishing traditional activity. In the early morning you will see fishermen selling their fish on the docks.

Emblem of Mykonos, the pelicans wander among the passers-by and are pampered by the inhabitants. Mykonos has the reputation of being an island particularly visited by homosexuals, but this is not the whole truth. The gay public is present, but it is also and above all a glamorous place for the rich and famous, what you will find by the prices. The most beautiful and most famous beaches of Mykonos are located in the south of the island.
