Mykonos

A beautiful harbour and good sandy beaches make this one of the most popular Greek islands.

But it is also one of the most expensive and shop, restaurant and bar staff seem weary of visitors. Mykonos Town is a maze of cobbled streets selling almost everything from designer clothes to tacky souvenirs. There's also shop after shop of gold jewellery. But it is at night when Mykonos Town comes alive, with plenty of bars and nightclubs. Upmarket venues can be found at Little Venice.

On the south coast, there are several beaches that can be reached by frequent buses from Mykonos Town. Paradise Beach is the most famous, but also the most crowded. There is an accommodation information office near the ferry quay, but it is advisable to book in advance during high season.
