Do you know the great beauty that is home to one of the smallest, but most famous, islands in all of Greece? Mykonos, popularly known as the Ibiza of Greece, is a 90 km2 treasure that has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
And is not for less! Anyone who knows something about it will not hesitate to tell you about the architectural attractions found there, such as the emblematic windmills, the narrow streets of Little Venice or the picturesque balconies of the Kastro neighborhood.
The best of all? The entertainment in Mykonos has no limits: if you are a person who prefers quiet trips or a family atmosphere, you can delight yourself with walks through emblematic monuments of antiquity —such as the temple of Apollo or the sanctuary of Hercules— or with gastronomic tours where the catch of the day, traditional dishes and local wines are the main protagonists.
On the other hand, if you consider yourself more adventurous, you can opt for the characteristic windsurfing in the Aegean Sea or the incredible electronic parties on its shores. To be honest, you can do everything, this island is free of taboos. That depends only on you.
Mykonos is a small island, although it is full of emblematic places to visit. We recommend you take your time to walk around Chora, especially Little Venice. Can you imagine enjoying blue windows, whitish buildings, and a romantic landscape? Well, Little Venice is for you.
We also recommend visiting the Armenistis Lighthouse, a spectacular site for panoramic sea views and otherworldly photos. Similarly, you cannot miss the windmills of Mykonos, which date from the middle of the last century and light up the shores of Santorini. This point is ideal to observe a sunset with golden and pinkish colors.
Also, if you are interested in learning about the history and culture of Greece, you should consider the Archaeological Museum of Mykonos, the Folklore Museum, and the Aegean Maritime Museum.
Finally, if you enjoy time in this location, we recommend that you take an excursion to Delos, an island that has an architectural site with monuments from the year 5000 BC. Visiting Delos from Mykonos takes about 3 hours in total.
To move within Mykonos, you can choose between two options.
Mykonos is very crowded in July and August. In case you prefer to spend time on the beach in the warmth of summer, we recommend this option.
On the contrary, if what you prefer is to experience the Mediterranean landscape without so many people and with mild temperatures, you should visit the island during the spring (May to June) or autumn (September to October) of Europe.
In any case, at Greca we offer tour packages that include both islands so you don't miss a thing. What are you waiting for?
