Mykonos Island is the most famous Greek island and one of the world's most popular holiday resorts. Mykonos island is an example of unique cycladic architecture set around a picturesque fishing-village bay. Totally whitewashed buildings of Mykonos fit closely together to form a one of the kind maze of narrow alleys and streets.

The earthen colors of the bare hills which surround the Mykonos town's gleaming whiteness is set between the aura of an incredibly blue sky and even deeper blue sparkling sea. Mykonos island has many windmills and hundreds of churches which add a flavor of culture to the scene, enhanced even further by many museums and the historical ancient site of nearby Greek island of Delos.

Together with being friendly and open people, the locals of Mykonos Island have a healthy understanding of what it means to have a good time. Put this together with all the island's other qualities and it is no wonder Mykonos island has been often named "THE JEWEL" of the Aegean Sea.

As well as catering to the demands of its summer guests with an infrastructure that has been well developed over the years, an off-season tourist industry has also emerged making it possible to visit in comfort during the non-summer months.

Frequent air and sea connections together with heated rooms and good taverns in and around the main Mykonos town, allow the adventurous traveler to properly experience the island's natural beauty. When the crowds have departed, it is then that Mykonos island can best be enjoyed as the tiny Cycladic fishing village it has always been.
