Mykonos Island

By Milan Matchev

One of the top and famous international tourist destinations and known for its cosmopolitan character and sophisticated nightlife in Greece is Mykonos.

Lying between Tinos, Siros, Paros Greece and Naxos, Mykonos Island is part of Cyclades and has many spectacular beaches with crystal clear green color water. It has beautiful landscapes, picturesque white painted villages, hundreds of little churches and windmills, which attracts thousands of visitors every year. All the houses, shops, churches, restaurants and windmills are neatly whitewashed. The streets are a maze of narrow and winding alleyways. Indeed, you can also see some Greek and international celebrities walking the white-washed roads or having dinner at small street-side table of high-class restaurant.

Water sports and outdoor activities are available in most of its golden sandy beaches and its transparent waters. They say that there is a beach for every taste and lifestyle. Beaches that are overcrowded include Paradise, Super Paradise, Platis Yialos, Psarou, and Ornos. Beaches that are known as party beaches include Paradise and Super Paradise. Most of these beaches are located on thesouth. While beaches on the north are also beautiful but less developed and less crowded that are perfect for those who want to find some peace.
