Travel Guide "Mykonos"

Mykonos, located in the Cyclades and surrounded by the blue-green waters of the Aegean, presents itself as a whitewashed island shaped by windmills – known as the "Island of the Winds." This ancient island and its neighbors, which according to mythology are said to have emerged from the bodies of gods once defeated by Hercules, are older than any legend and have hosted countless cultures over millennia.

With an area of only about 40 square miles and around ten thousand inhabitants, the "Ibiza of Greece" has made a name for itself – thanks to its impressive architecture, its open and hospitable locals, and its fantastic beaches. With evocative names like "Paradise" and "Super Paradise," the island's beaches have captured the imagination and hearts of business moguls, artists, and party-goers from around the world. Mykonos has thus established itself as a cosmopolitan destination and is considered a central hotspot on the international jet-set scene.
