Welcome to Mykonos, Greece’s most famous cosmopolitan island, that lies at the heart of Cyclades and is one of the most popular destinations all over the world. The island’s architecture with its unique whitewashed houses and colourful doors, picturesque alleys with bougainvillaea trees and the beautiful mills attracts thousands of tourists every year. Apart from its cosmopolitan atmosphere, Mykonos is also famous for its sun-kissed beaches and the crystal-clear water where you can relax and enjoy the tranquillity of the breezing air lying on a sun lounger and drinking a molecular cocktail. If you are more into wild beach parties that do not stop unless the sun goes down or late-night parties until dawn in Mykonos’ Chora bars and nightclubs, then Mykonos is the right place for you!
