Mykonos

Arguably Greece’s most glamorous isle, Mykonos is well known for its chic party scene. Fusing the sophistication of Saint Tropez with the hedonism of Ibiza, the island is a hub of stylish hotels, cool beach bars, and trendy restaurants abuzz with atmosphere. But look beyond the bronzed revellers of the white sand beaches and you will discover there’s much more to Mykonos than meets the eye. Dig deeper and you will find backcountry roads, secluded coves lapped by cerulean waters, quiet sea-front tavernas, inland villages, diving, mountain biking, and watersports. Of course, those looking to be part of the action will delight in beaches like Elia, popular with families, or Ornos, flanked by coastal eateries. Aside from the beaches, the island’s other main attraction is Mykonos Town, where you can spend hours wandering a warren of narrow streets decorated with bougainvillea and dotted with boutiques and picture-perfect churches. Foodies will love Hora’s vibrant restaurant scene, where diners can find anything from upmarket fusion cuisine to authentic Greek flavours.
