Mykonos is a jewel amongst the Cyclades, with its dream-like beaches and cosmopolitan flair, attracting thousands of tourists since the early 1960s. Mykonos is renowned for its breathtaking landscapes, traditional Cycladic setting filled with white-beaten homes, towering Windmills, whitewashed churches and enchanting harbour.

Mykonos Town, also known as Chora, is the island’s most popular tourist resort. The town is made up of whitewashed homes, blue-domed churches and labyrinth-like streets. Strolling through the winding streets, is like walking in to a museum, where you will find hidden cultural and historic structures on each corner like Panagia Paraportianni, Little Venice neighbourhood, and the Three Wells! Also, beware of Petros the Pelican and all his pelican friends who wander the town enchanting visitors with their charismatic nature and personality.
