Famous for its great nightlife, covering the needs for both backpackers and the international jet set, Mykonos is one of the most well-known Greek islands among locals and visitors. But, for those looking for more than just a wild partying, Mykonos offers the opportunity for new experiences in sandy beaches, sapphire waters and picturesque locations.
1. Get a scenic view from Armenistis Lighthouse
Have you ever visited a real Aegean lighthouse? On the northwestern part of the island, with a height of 19 meters, stands the secluded attraction of Armenistis Lighthouse. If you are on the lookout for a magnificent view of the island, take the chance to visit it and get to know its history from 1891.
2. Tour the Ancient City of Delos
Not far from Mykonos town, stands one of the most important archaeological sites in Greece. A tour to the wonderfully preserved temples, theaters and other buildings, remnants of another glory from the Greek antiquity, could give a vivid picture of how the holy site of Delos might have looked like.
3. Enjoy the sunset over Little Venice
The most popular image of Mykonos is the facades and windmills of Little Venice. Many visitors have fallen in love with this elegant and charming quarter with its fan base getting bigger. Here, you can admire the architecture of the houses, drink your coffee in many of the small cafés right on the shore or you can enjoy your drinks on a cruise watching the sun setting over the azure Aegean blue sea.
4. Discover marine life underwater
The beauty of the island is not limited only to windmills, beautiful houses and its landscape, but most of its magic could be found under the sea. Take a boat and experience how it is to be... in the flippers of a diver. Nothing compares to the “weightless” feeling of breathing and exploring the wide diversity of marine life.
5. Sail with a yacht
The comfort in holidays is a precious commodity. Board for a cruise and enjoy the golden sandy beaches, accessible and secluded. Let yourself to relax and sunbathe like a celebrity on the bow of yacht while tasting Greek flavors and drinks. And, why not, savour the island from a different perspective.
