Once in obscurity and visited only as a passageway to the historical island of Delos, Mykonos gained recognition as a tourist destination in the 1950’s and 1960’s when its natural beauty, charming Cycladic flavour, and magnificent beaches, led Mykonos to the spot-light as Greece’s most well known island, visited by local and international celebrities as such, and securing its place as a principal destination within Greece.

Best described as a cosmopolitan, fashion-centered island, Mykonos is probably the most famous of the Greek islands. Notorious for its nightlife: from its infamous bars, to its wide variety of restaurants featuring Greek and international cuisine. Renowned for its immaculately clean whitewashed labyrinth of alleys and paths. Celebrated for its Cycladic character and distinguished for its numerous sandy beaches and turquoise waters, Mykonos is an island of many facades – an island typically Cycladic in character and appearance, and yet also an international resort all in one.
