Destinations - Mediterranean - Mykonos

The island of Mykonos is the most easterly of the northern Cyclades. Its attractive setting and other captivating attributes make it one of the most celebrated holiday destinations in Greece. Mykonos Town is a colorful maze of narrow streets lined by whitewashed houses with bright blue doors and shutters. During the 1960s, it was the bohemian jet set that discovered Mykonos. Many old houses along the waterfront are now restaurants, bars and discos, catering to an international yachting crowd. The tiny town of cube-shaped houses extends in a semicircle around the picturesque bay. As an attractive backdrop, the famous windmills are lined up like toy soldiers on the hillside, vestiges of a time when wind power was used to grind the island’s grain.

Mykonos boasts some 365 churches and chapels scattered about the island; quite a number of them are located right in town. Radiant flowers spill over whitewashed walls and shady courtyards. In addition to swimming, sunning, water skiing and surfing, visitors find endless shopping and dining opportunities. Many artists have relied on Mykonos’ beautiful setting to inspire them. This enchanting place will no doubt be one of your favorites on your cruise holiday.
