WHAT TO SEE AND WHERE TO EAT IN MYKONOS
This is your ultimate Travel Guide to explore Mykonos and live your own Mamma Mia Movie! So to take note of these remarkable places before you embark on your journey:
WHAT TO SEE
Visit the island of Delos
Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1990, the small island of Delos is one of the most important archaeological sites in Greece. In ancient times, the myth of the god Apollo, the god of light, and the goddess Artemisa being born there made the island sacred.
Spend a day at Scorpios
Located on a small peninsula on the southern coast of the island, Scorpios is by far the most famous beach club on the island and also one of the most popular beach clubs in the world.
Explore Chora (also known as Hora and Mykonos Town)
It's the largest, busiest, and most famous village on the island. The jumble of whitewashed houses and blue-domed churches on the slope of the settlement is one of the finest and most picturesque examples of Cycladic architecture.
Explore the windmills
The first thing that comes into view before reaching the harbor is this row of seven white windmills set against a small cape.
Visit Alefkandra (Little Venice)
Around the western edge of the Old Port, there is a beautiful network of car-free narrow alleys. These are paved with typical dark marble cobblestones coated with the same bright white paint as the houses.
