What is more fascinating about Mykonos compared to other Greek islands?
Mykonos is a particularly restless island, with many different sides. Its visitors are really demanding, since many of them are great personalities of the international jet set. They are cosmopolitans with a high criterion on taste. If nothing else, Greece is considered a hot tourist destination, with Mykonos being the most popular within it. This raises the bar in relation to the rest -equally beautiful- islands of our country. This is what makes Mykonos exciting equally for Greeks and foreigners at the same time.

Mykonos is a completely different place from the rest of Greece. It combines the gastronomic tradition of the Cyclades of the Aegean and the glamour of a cosmopolitan destination. A few places in Greece can be compared to Mykonos. Places that can provide such good services, being so organized in tourism. Many countries around the world have a particular place that attracts most tourists. Mykonos is this destination for Greece.
