Mykonos - Culture

  

It is almost impossible to describe Mykonos in just one page. It is after all the most famous Greek island and is established as the cosmopolitan centre of the Cyclades.

Arriving at the harbour we are welcomed by the windmills which together with the pelican, are the symbols that signifies this island.

The whitewashed, cube-shaped houses are scattered about under the shade of the windmills, with their coloured window-shutters, external steps and blossoming flowerpots.

We can say that Mykonos belongs to the tourists at night, but during the day one enjoys its calmness. The dazzling sun reflects on the deep-blue waters of the Aegean Sea and the whitewashed houses.

The sunset becomes more fascinating when it is enjoyed from the neighborhood of Alefkandra or the little Venice of Mykonos, as it is called.

The nights are endless on Mykonos, with many bars suitable for all tastes.

Even if most of the beaches are crowded, the clear seawater glitters with that kind of amazingly beautiful deep blue colors that are irresistible.

At Ornos Bay you can swim at the frequently visited sandy beach with its umbrellas, water sports and luxurious tourist installations. The beach of Psarou is the gathering spot for the VIP's with their sailing boats and jet skis.

Make a stop at the taverns for a glass of whine with the Mykonic Mostra, a kind of Rusk dipped in olive oil, tomatoes and pounded cheese, and end your break with a swim at the popular beach of Kalafati, one of the few with natural shade.
