The island of Mykonos is the most popular island of Greece and appeals to the younger, jet-setting crowd because of its vibrant atmosphere and nightlife. Its beaches are filled with warm, soft sands, (unlike the harsh black beaches of Santorini), and tourists can be found sunbathing the days away here.
The most popular activities consist of water sports, including sailing, boating, windsurfing and kite-sailing, or spending the day four wheeling around the island, (which can be done with a valid United States license).
The gastronomy of the island includes fine dining restaurants or more reasonably priced venues where you can easily buy multiple gyros for the duration of your trip. Additionally, the shopping in Mykonos consists of beach-ware apparel, galleries, and eclectic shops that are perfect for a gift for someone back home.
Overall, the beautiful soft beaches and crystal clear waters set Mykonos apart from the rest of the islands, and will remain in your memory for the remainder of your trip in Greece. |
