Sailing Holidays in Mykonos

Mykonos island is part of the Cyclades islands group in the Aegean sea, the most famous and popular Greek island along with Santorini and Crete, and attracts thousands of visitors every year. The Greek island is famous for its cosmopolitan atmosphere, its gay community and its exciting nightlife which is often compared to Ibiza.

Its architecture is unique with its square white houses some built one next to another and others scattered amongst the hills and mountains, on top of huge rocks or right next to the sea waves; sometimes even built right inside the sea just like the well-known Small Venice where the sunset floods the sky with colors and lights it up with a deeply orange nuance while the sun sinks into the sea. And right above her, four enormous white windmills stand side by side. In the old times they worked hard in order to produce wheat, but today the simply exist making the landscape even more beautiful.

Mykonos also stands out for its numerous dreamy beaches, for everyone’s taste or age; blond sandy beaches and cold crystal aquamarine waters; popular well organized beaches, organized with bars, loud music and crazy parties; nudist beaches, jet-set beaches or even quiet and isolated ones with unwalked sea coasts, without sunbeds or umbrellas; and beaches with dozens of marine sports and diving facilities.
