Tourist information -
Mykonos
Mykonos is a grand example of the unique, archetypal
postcard image of the Cyclades architecture set around a picturesque
fishing-village bay. Totally whitewashed organic cube-like buildings
fit closely together to form a kind of haphazard maze of narrow
alley ways and streets. The earthen colors of the bare hills which
surround the town's gleaming whiteness is set between the aura of
an incredibly blue sky and even deeper blue sea. It has many well
preserved windmills and hundreds of tiny red-roofed churches that
adds a flavor of culture and custom to the scene, enhanced even
further by many museums and the historical ancient site of nearby
Delos. Together with being friendly and open people, the locals
have a healthy understanding of what it means to have a good time.
Put this together with all the island's other qualities and it is
no wonder Mykonos has been often named "the jewel" of
the Aegean Sea.
