MYKONOS

Mykonos is world-famous. It is no coincidence that this, the most cosmopolitan of all the Greek islands, attracts so many visitors from all over the globe, including large numbers of artists and intellectuals.
The capital, Hora, with its colourful harbour in which little fishing boats nestle happily side by side luxury yachts. Mykonos is spread out over a flat area and conveys an impression of solid aesthetic cohesion.
Along the whitewashed streets stand brilliant white box-shaped houses with stepped walls for sitting on, wooden doors and windows and brightly coloured balconies. These are interspersed with small but impressive churches, pretty little tavernas and shops selling souvenirs and other goods. The overall sense is of being inside a film set.
Mykonos is a busy island with all the amenities of a modern resort and with plenty to do by day or night. Yet visitors fond of more peaceful holidays will still find quiet corners in which to relax.
