Mykonos. Greece.
Set out on a journey to discover a fascinating world where glamour meets simplicity. On Mykonos celebrities, students and families mingle together to celebrate the Greek summer. Whether you are an entertainment junkie out for a real good time, or a visitor who wishes to explore the island’s history and tradition, Mykonos will certainly meet your expectations.
Mykonos. Greece
Mykonos is the great glamour island of the Cyclades and happily flaunts its sizzling style and reputation. The high-season mix of good-time holidaymakers, cruise-ship crowds which can reach 15,000 a day, and posturing fashionistas throngs through Mykonos town, a traditional Cycladic maze, delighting in its authentic cubist charms and its pricey cafe-bar-shopping scene.
In high season, come only if you are bankrolled and intent on joining the jostling street crowds, the oiled-up lounger lifestyle at the island’s packed main beaches, and the relentless party. Out of season, devoid of gloss, glitter and preening celebrities, find more subdued local life, the occasional soft-pink pelican wandering the empty streets, and beaches backed by banging clubs which have gone silent for the winter.
Mykonos is also the jumping-off point for the splendid archaeological site of the nearby island of Delos.
