A popular destination in the clear blue waters of the warm Aegean Sea, the Greek Cyclades island of Mykonos offers exotic beaches, picturesque architecture and beautiful stretches of sand. Nightlife is varied as holidaymakers enjoy the cosmopolitan atmosphere and dance clubs, which is why it is sometimes dubbed ‘the Ibiza of Greece’.
The best beaches are generally in the south, while the resort of Psarrou is particularly well-liked. These compact Cyclades Islands are also as popular with yachts and boating enthusiasts as they are as a port of call for cruise ships, with tourists keen to see and photograph the whitewashed towns and villages with cobbled streets, timeless churches and traditional windmills.
Myconian Ambassador Hotel & Spa Mykonos provides experiences to remember, for all ages. Boat trips to the nearby island of Delos are available, or the interior of Mykonos is easily explored if one ventures away from the coastal resorts. The small village of Ano Mera is located near the centre, with a monastery and interesting architecture. On the coast, many visitors like to explore the narrow streets of Chora (the main town of Mykonos), with its maze of tiny old streets. Alternatively, why not watch the sunset from Little Venice – also popular with cruise visitors calling at the harbour. To finish off a great day, head to Kiki's Tavern at the north end of the island and enjoy delicious local cuisine with one of the best views to be found on Mykonos.
