A few things about Mykonos Island
Mykonos is a Greek island, part of the Cyclades archipelago in the Aegean Sea. It is the smallest of the main islands and the largest touristic center. It has an area of 85.5 km2 and a population of 10,134 inhabitants (2011 census). Its capital is Mykonos City (also known as Chora) and it belongs to the administrative region of Southern Aegean.
An interesting fact about this island is that there are two quite opposite sides of it.
The one is the shiny, cosmopolitan, and vibrant side while the second is a lovely, with stone-paved streets, rural churches, and windmills, exotic side that exude serenity and tranquillity.
This island can meet a range of needs: You may visit it for its ancient monuments, learn about local customs, and enjoy its wonderful beaches, which many believe to be the best in the Aegean Sea. Chora is a beautiful and attractive Cycladic village. And of course, you can visit it for its famous nightlife!
So, let’s dive into the tours that are available for you to explore Mykonos in the best way ever!
