Greece’s answer to Ibiza, Mykonos is renowned for a hedonistic nightlife (think sunset cocktails, drag shows and after-hours parties by the sea), beaches of golden sand (especially beautiful on the south coast), luxurious boutique hotels (some with suites and private pools), and its open-minded and welcoming locals. Built around a natural harbour, the capital, Mykonos Town, is a warren of narrow streets and whitewashed houses, many now converted to boho-chic bars and boutiques, all nestled under the watchful gaze of four hilltop windmills. Nearby, the sacred islet of Delos is a UNESCO listed archaeological site, steeped in history and ancient fertility symbolism.
