Mykonos (Mikonos) is known as the 'island of wind' and what the wind blows in is an eclectic, international mix of visitors, many of whom return year after year, that alone says a lot. There is a certain charm combined with an attitude that embraces everyone, from all walks of life. Many visitors say that Mykonos island represents a freedom that they haven't found elsewhere. Come to experience the beautiful beaches (gay, family, nudity-tolerant, watersports or party), the incredible nightlife, the non-stop parties or just to relax on this Greek island that's like no other.
Mykonos island, reached by air or sea, is located near the sacred islands of Delos and the lesser known Rhenia, all part of the grouping of Greek islands known as the Cyclades. According to mythology, Delos is the birthplace of the god Apollo and his twin sister, Artemis. Daily trips to experience the ancient ruins of Delos are accessible from Mykonos.
The charming, unadorned, white cube Cycladic architecture with a plethora of traditional churches found on Mykonos island is unique and picture perfect. Mykonos Town, known as "Chora", is a labyrinth of narrow, stone streets, that are lined with traditional houses and shops side by side with chic, designer label fashion boutiques and elegant jewelry stores draped in colorful flowers. The original plan of the maze-like design was to confuse invaders and help protect against pirates. Part of the fun is becoming "lost", strolling the streets to find the tucked away shops, churches or art galleries, as the way out is always just around the corner.

In contrast to Mykonos island Town is the village of Ano Mera, offering a taste of a more rural Greek life. Life moves a little slower here. This little village is home to the famous Tourliani monastery that has a beautiful little courtyard and bell tower. The town square (plateia), surrounded by traditional Greek tavernas shaded by trees, is center stage for village life. As the square is not visable when passing by on the main road, Ano Mera may look like nothing more than a wide spot in the road with a few shops, but is worth a stop over to enjoy village hospitality.
Last, but not least, are the beaches of Mykonos island! The possibilities of parties, sex, romance or relaxation are endless in a mix of sun, sea and sand. The clear, multi-hued blue Aegean Sea, under the intensity of the Greek sun, with the sand beneath your feet, makes your senses come alive. You feel the power of life a little more. Each resplendent day offers something different. Find the way to your perfect beach and indulge your pleasures. However you choose to spend your time on the island of Mykonos, one thing is certain, you will return home with lasting memories and the desire to return.
