The Island of Mykonos - Cyclades

Mykonos, moulin et roses

Yes, perhaps it's true that Mykonos is a tourist trap, that hotel and room prices are twice as high as anywhere else in Greece, etc. But Mykonos still has a great deal of its own special CHARM!

During the day, you'll walk its marvelous little streets with their whitewashed houses, all the while admiring its many chapels. At night, the island shows another side of its personality; Mykonos turns into a gigantic night club. The atmosphere in its streets is just amazing. Every hundred yards or so there is a disco, bar, or tavern that just begs you to keep on celebrating...

Its reputation as a "gay" friendly island is well founded. The island is a favorite gay destination, especially in the summer. Choose your beach according to your own tastes.
"Petros" the pelican is the symbol of the island. You'll find his image everywhere. You may even feel like you're being watched by the big-billed bird!

Port de Mykonos

Important! There are no buses from the port or the airport. Only the shuttles from hotels or camp sites will take you to where you will be staying. Otherwise you can call a taxi or... walk.
   Paradise camp ground is the "hip" and thus overpopulated place to stay, but it does have a shuttle from the airport and the port.

DON'T MISS :

The archeological museum, on the road to the port.
The Ano Mera Monastery, 6 miles from Mykonos.
Tourlos, a small village to the left of the port. Peaceful and inexpensive. However, make your reservation in advance because this place is becoming more and more popular.

Beaches:
Paraga beach: next to Paradise Beach. A quiet beach that is sheltered from the wind and perfect for diving.
Livadi Beach: maybe not as beautiful, but quiet and close to a hotel.
Paradise beach: You've got to see it to believe it. Techno music and dancing on the beach. A very fashionable beach where beach goers love to show off their bodies.
