Out and About
Mykonos is great for anyone looking for a little history and Greek culture and with some interesting day trips available you will be sure to find it all here. There is so much to see, from the Island of Delos, Little Venice, the Kato Myli windmills and the monastery and Archaeological Museum at Ano Mera. The labyrinth of streets in Mykonos Town offer some great shopping and dining opportunities.
The main attraction on Mykonos is certainly the beaches and there are many diverse stretches available such as nudist areas, gay beaches which boast a party atmosphere, family-friendly sheltered bays and peaceful areas for those who want a little peace and quiet. A lot of these beaches also offer a whole host of watersports, such as banana boats, jet-skis, water skiing and paragliding. Due to the strong winds in Mykonos, it is very popular for both windsurfing and kitesurfing.
As if that is not enough, there are also some established dive schools and centres so if you fancy exploring the reefs and rocks and the numerous wrecks then come along and give it a go. Another great way to see the island is to set sail for a cruise and explore the area in a more relaxing manner.
Mykonos does not just offer water based activities, horseriding is a great activity and a fantastic way to explore the countryside with it's paths and trails and windmills and chapels you can take in the splendour of the area. If you prefer something a little faster, try taking an off-road Jeep safari to discover the beaches and remote villages.
