Beautiful and romantic. Wilderness and rocky. Elegant and worldly. Difficult to find a single adjective that can describe the island of Mykonos, a real summer paradise. A truly beautiful island, which offers its most fascinating and evocative side, during the period of less tourist influx.

Island of entertainment, with clubs and beach bars, ready to entertain until dawn. Perfect place for couples looking for romance. For families, looking for Mykonos beaches, and backdrops to discover. A place to savor excellent Greek cuisine and eat fresh fish every day. A tolerant island, of international level, which will certainly know how to be loved.

Here are some of the most interesting in detail. Like any self-respecting island, Mykonos is full of incredible bays and inlets that you only have to discover.
