Mykonos, one of the most beautiful places to visit in Greece, is an island part of the Cyclades Island group in the Aegean Sea with breathtaking beaches and a lovely town.Mykonos is very charming and sophisticated and one of the most famous hotspots for parties in Europe (the biggest in Greece). Because of that, the island is full of young people partying all day long, sun seekers and couples enjoying Mykonos’s beautiful scenery and romanticism.The best way to explore the island is renting a scooter because public transportation is not that good.I visited the island in August of 2014 coming by ferryboat from Santorini. The island is really picturesque and undoubtedly one of the greatest places to enjoy the European summer.

    • Hello Mylene.
      How are you?
      I recommend to stay in Mykonos town or Little Venice.
      The beaches there aren’t wonderful though but there are tons of restaurants and it’s very easy to get around, specially if you aren’t renting a car.
      Any place walkable distance to this area is fine.
      In my Santorini post there are some suggestions for accommodation. You can book use the links there or if you prefer you can use Booking through this page: https://www.7continents1passport.com/travel-planning/
      There isn’t any additional cost to you and it helps me to keep the blog.
      Cheers and have fun in Greece Mylene.
      Abrazo 😉
