Mykonos

What you need to know before you go

Mykonos is a Greek island that attracts a cosmopolitan set to its stunning beaches, ancient towns and deep blue seas. Explore the iconic castle and relax at a waterfront café in the capital town of Hora or follow the bass to the party beaches along the southern coast, especially Paradise Beach. If you feel like getting active, enjoy an afternoon of surfing or sailing.

The island juggles its heritage with all the modern touches that visitors expect. If you’re looking for a taste of yesteryear, head to the nearby islands just off the Mykonos coast. The UNESCO-listed Delos Island is said to be the birthplace of Apollo and is covered in fascinating ancient ruins.
