The cosmopolitan Mykonos…
uncensored
Since the fifties, Mykonos has always been one of the most popular tourist islands of the Mediterranean. It is a grand example of unique Cycladic architecture set around a picturesque fishing-village bay.
The Island of winds as the locals call it lies in the center of the Aegean Sea between Tinos and Naxos. It’s the closest island to Delos.
The natural resources of Mykonos – the sea, the sun, the sky, sand and wind with the hospitality, the fun, the harmony and the charm – have helped it develop into a quality tourist resort with an international reputation.
Everywhere one turns, cannot fail to notice the invincible beauty of one’s surroundings, the purity of the light, the linear perfection and the ubiquitous whitewash that makes the island look like a snow-city in the middle of summer.
Rising out of the Aegean center is a group of thirty-nine islands, twenty-four of which are inhabited, and called the Cyclades Islands. Its name (kyklos) is connected with entertainment and endless parties. Those islands are what people think of Greece – images of white and blue – whitewashed houses and domed churches surrounded in all directions.
By far the most famous island in Greece and with no doubt the most cosmopolitan in Cyclades islands – but this does not mean that it has lost all of its traditional values.
