Mykonos: The VIP party capital of the Cyclades

The island that reigns supreme over the Greek summer is by far the most cosmopolitan in the Mediterranean with world-calibre hotels, restaurants and beach bars.

Experience its energy with your yacht charter and attempt to comprehend the peculiar fact that it is located right next to sacred Delos. 

Mykonos has the unique talent of continually reinventing itself, evolving and staying fresh, its charms keeping visitors in constant bewitchment. Something exceedingly difficult since every experience and every attraction seem to have already been discovered, written about or photographed. Such as losing yourself in the narrow alleyways of Chora, crammed with the boutiques of the world's most iconic fashion brands. Walking around the old port under the famous windmills. Marvelling at the sunset in Little Venice, the picturesque neighbourhood with sugar-cube houses suspended over the water. Enjoying the beach service at its world-calibre beach bars. Watching the sunrise after one more legendary after-hours party by a world-famous Dj. Or, last but not least, taking a break from its myriad gourmet restaurants to taste the island's rich culinary tradition in a humble tavern in traditional Ano Mera. Please have in mind that it is still possible to become surprised on this island of material wonders. The biggest surprise of all; The awe-inspiring feeling you get when visiting neighbouring Delos, the mythical birthplace of Apollo and Artemis, the sacred island of the ancient Greeks and the most life-altering (along with Acropolis) archaeological monument in Greece.
