Mykonos "The cosmopolitan Cyclades Island"

Image
  Mykonos island is situated in the middle of Greek Cyclades Islands and is now the island groups most cosmopolitan holiday destination with it being branded as the "Ibiza of Greece."   As well as its modern image it is also famous for its minimal Cyclades architecture with its whitewashed traditional houses and blue dombed churches but its most well know architectural buildings are windmills found in the Little Venice area of Mykonos Town.  How to get there. You can fly directly into the island from a expanding number of destinations particular in the summer season from April to October when the major European holiday companies all offer trips here. The one thing I will say is the airport is extremely small, and in the popular summer months becomes extremely busy and chaotic at times as we personally experienced. So be prepared for this.  You can also travel by ferry from any of its sister islands in the Cyclades and from the main ferry port on the Greek mainland Piraeus. Bu
