Fashionable, chic and dripping with natural beauty, this Greek island attracts discerning travellers in search of cosmopolitan culture and beachside luxury.
Luxury Mykonos holidays are the most cosmopolitan of all Greek island escapes. Low, rocky hills, combined with superb golden beaches, make up its gentle landscape.
The large, sandy beaches are often linked by clifftop coast paths and water taxis. The Super Paradise beach is one of the trendiest beaches in Mykonos and offer great entertainment and relaxing sunbathing. Mykonos also offers great beaches for those who prefer a quieter place to swim and sunbathe can be found in the wilder areas of Mykonos.
The capital, Mykonos Chora, boasts a colourful harbour in which little fishing boats nestle side by side with luxury yachts. Nearby, a veritable treasure trove of modern jewellery is sold at numerous friendly shops. One of the most evocative areas on the island is Little Venice. Here, several restaurants boast wonderful views of the sea and over to the famous Mykonos windmills - make sure you dine late enough to witness an unforgettable sunset.
The picturesque Mykonos Town is abundant with trendy cocktail bars, stylish cafes and Little Venice is packed with romantic waterfront restaurants. If you feel like picking up some souvenirs, then head over to Nammos Village. This huddle of designer boutiques, each with a unique architecture, is just a 20-minute walk away from the island’s best hotels and offers exclusive treats from big names such as Christian Dior, Gucci, and Giorgio Armani.
