The Wonder of Mykonos

Mykonos is a grand example of unique Cycladic architecture set around a picturesque fishing-village bay. Totally whitewashed organic cube-like buildings fit closely together to form a kind of labyrinth of narrow alleyways and streets. Its many well-preserved windmills and tiny red-roofed churches add a flavor of culture and custom to the scene, enhanced even further by many museums and the historical ancient site of Delos. You will get a generous taste of Greek hospitality here. Its no wonder why Mykonos has been often called "the jewel" of the Aegean Sea.
