mykonos



Mykonos is world famous. It is no coincidence that this, the most cosmopolitan of all Greek islands, attracts so many visitors from all over the globe, including large numbers of artists, intellectuals, and the Jet Set. Here, the steep mountains to be encountered in most of the Cyclades give way to low, rocky hills with very interesting rock formations which combine with superb beaches to make up the landscape of the island.

Hora
The capital, Hora, with its colorful harbor in which little fishing-boats nestle happily side by side with luxury yachts, presents quite a different picture from the majority of Aegean island towns. While it is usual for island villages to be built on naturally amphitheatrical sites, Mykonos is spread out over a flat area and conveys an impression of solid aesthetic cohesion.

Along the whitewashed streets stand brilliant white box-shaped houses with stepped walls for sitting on, wooden doors and windows and brightly-colored balconies. These are interspersed with small and impressive churches, pretty little tavernas and shops selling souvenirs and other goods, and the overall sense is of being inside a film set.

On the low Kastro hill is the complex of churches known collectively as Our Lady , a superb arrangement of whitewashed masses created over the centuries and now recognized as a national cultural monument.

Of particular historical and aesthetic interest are the medieval houses in this district of the town, which stand like a wall above the sea protecting the west side of Hora.

The Archaeological Museum of Hora contains finds from tombs on the nearby island of Rhenia, sculptures, vases and figurines. The Folklore Museum brings together a number of collections of furniture, icons, pieces of sculpture and folk musical instruments. Mykonos is also the home of the Nautical Museum of the Aegean, which has an interest all of its own.

The countryside of Mykonos is a mixture of grey-green rocks ringed by prickly pear plants and little fertile areas carpeted with wild flowers. Here and there are tiny white-washed chapels and windmills.

Ano Mera
Ano Mera is, after Hora, the most important of the older villages on the island. Standing 8 km. to the east of the town, Ano Mera has the interesting monastery of Our Lady Tourliani, ornamented with fine wood-carvings . The church has a collection of valuable ecclesiastical vessels vestments and embroideries. The courtyard contains an interesting bell-tower and a marble fountain.


mykonos

Mykonos is a busy island with all the amenities of a modern resort and with plenty to do - by day or night - for those who want to have a lively time. Yet visitors fond of more peaceful holidays will still find quiet corners in which to relax. 

Most visitors to Mykonos spend their day at one of the superb beaches.
They usually get up quite late ( 10 in the morning till midday and later...) for breakfast at their hotel or some special brunch place in town.
Most beaches are not too far from the town. You may use the local buses, use the local caiques departing from Platis Yialos beach, take a taxi or rent a moped or jeep.
All beaches even the most secluded ones have at least a small taverna open for lunch so most beach goers return quite late back to their lodgings, have a rest, a shower and get only ready for the earliest cocktail and sunsets bars by 7 or 8 PM. Dinner at the restaurants and tavernas does not start usually before 8 or 9 PM.
Most restaurants or eating places are busy and remain open very late . Late night bars and discos start by 11 PM and the most crazy and fun hours of the night are usually from 1 till 3 and 4 o’clock in the morning.
A late breakfast or brunch follows a late night sleep from 11 in the morning till 3 in the afternoon. 
Followed by the daily beach…and this goes on... and on... and on ! Tough hey ??© P. Couteau little-venice-alefkandra
