If you are looking for a Greek island that offers beautiful beaches, intense nightlife, lovely whitewashed buildings, picturesque narrow streets and a taste of old world Greece mixed with a cosmopolitan feel, then Mykonos just might be the fit for you. Mykonos is among Europe’s most famous vacation destinations, and it is known for its upscale feel and expensive real estate.
Celebrities, both Greek and foreign, are known to inhabit the island in the summer and can be spotted often dining at a Mykonos restaurant or strolling the streets.
Mykonos, while maintaining roots to its past values and ways of life, can get a bit hedonistic in the right places at the right time. While Mykonos Greece is fairly small, covering just around 295 square miles, its image looms large. Whereas more people are attempting to build on the island, strict zoning codes are making sure that the new wave of architecture fits the island’s Cycladic style.
