Stroll round the alluring main town, Chora, past sugar-cube-shaped buildings, their chalk-white walls accentuated by bright blue doors and shutters and framed by colourful flowers. History and culture abound too, particularly on the nearby island of Delos, a sacred site held to be the birthplace of Apollo. The countryside of Mykonos is a mixture of gray-green rocks ringed plants and little areas carpeted with wildflowers. Here and there are tiny, whitewashed chapels and windmills.
Sea lovers will find outstanding golden beaches, most of them ideal for sea sports. Protected from winds, Ornos is the most famous beach favored by the domestic and international jet set. Located on the south of the island, its sandy beach and crystal-clear water becomes the perfect scenery for swimming, testing your skills in sea sports and socializing.
