Before leaving for mykonos, the things you need to know and the things you don't know on the most popular holiday island.

 

The island of Mykonos it is part of the Cyclades archipelago in Greece. Queen of nightlife and transgression. Here the wind blows all year round!

The first thing that attracts about this island is the city center, a picturesque maze of narrow streets, characterized by a background of white houses, colored balconies, squares and churches. You will fall in love with its colors and its unique features. It is no coincidence that it is one of the most photographed places in the world.

Matogianni is the main shopping street, but the advice is to get lost among the countless streets and its exclusive boutiques, they will lead you without particular attention to the places of greatest attraction.

Little Venice it is located in the heart of the city, where its colorful houses almost seem to float on the sea, remembering Venice. On site you will find numerous restaurants and clubs as well as some of the best nightclubs.

From here, looking up you will see Kato Myli, the famous hill from where the windmills, symbols of mykonos, emerge.

Not to be missed is the sunset, usually around 20.30, all the tourists gather in the final street of the port in front of the local Jackie Jò, to witness this wonderful moment.

The island is small, the quad and the moped are by far the most used means to get around the island, because they will allow you to easily move from one place to another without difficulty and finding parking. Otherwise, you can take advantage of the numerous buses that will take you straight to the beaches.

The beaches to go to so as not to be bothered by the strong wind, they are exclusively those of the south of the island ranging from Agios Ioannis to Elia.
