What’s So Special About Mykonos?

Billed as a liberal blend of St Tropez and Ibiza, Mykonos has a glamorous image and has been an A-listers playground many years. But what else does this beautiful Island have to offer and why should you pay a visit?

Sizzling Hot Weather

If you like it hot, you will love Mykonos. Whilst it is scorching in the summer. The temperature stays warm all year round with September and October throwing up some wonderful late-season weather.

Beautiful white washed walls

The Iconic, white washed towns and villages on Mykonos feel as if they have been plucked from picture postcards. These idyllic streets make a tranquil and romantic backdrop to any holiday and provide endless photographic opportunities.

Food Glorious Food

Whether you are looking for local authenticity or upmarket elegance, the restaurants on Mykonos will not disappoint. Seafood is a specialty with the octopus often topping the list of chef’s special dishes.

Beaches Galore

The beaches in Mykonos are as plentiful as they are beautiful. There are lots of them and there really is something for everyone.

For a more family orientated beach, head for Ornos, which has a fanstastic range of restaurants and bars nearby. The shallow water and usually calm sea makes this an ideal choice for families with young children.

If you’d rather dance than dig sand castles, beaches like Paradise and Super Paradise, are in full swing from four in the afternoon with parties every day.
In peak-season you can expect the parties to last until daybreak and to attract some of the world’s top DJs.

Activities

With warm, blue water at every turn, golden beaches and rugged mountains at your disposal, this island is an outdoor playground waiting to be explored. Sailing, windsurfing kayaking, stand up paddleboarding, snorkelling, diving, cycling and hiking are all easily available and within easy reach wherever you decide to stay on Mykonos.

For a special adventure try splashing through the waves on horseback on a beachside horse riding trip or mountain biking through the vineyards on a guided cycling tour.

History and Heritage

This island is rich with culture and history. The architecture in the villages is a sheer joy to behold and the churches are utterly fascinating.
