Mykonos is of the greatest island I have been in Greece and whole of the world. It is a glamour island, happily flaunts it camp and fashionable reputation with style. Beneath the gloss and glitter, however this is a charming and hugely entertaining place where the sometimes frantic mix of good time holidaymakers, cruise ship crowds, posturing fashionistas and preening celebrities, is magically subdued by the cubist charms of Mykonos Town which is a traditional Cyladic maze and the sun. Little Venice is one of the photegenic corners of Mykonos town. Its colourful balconies and the waves make it special and romantic place for the sunset. You can see many kite surfers dancing in the air with the wind. 
What was amazing about Mykonos that despite the fact that it was full of tourists and advertised to the world, the local people did not lose their identies. The island has many beautiful beaches starting from Lia (my favourite), Panormos, Psarou Beach. Super Paradise and Paradise beach.
The island is a big partying destination for the people all around the world. People are integrated here from Brazil to Japan, from United Kingdom to Finland and so on... From all countries you could meet people. All the modern DJs are hosting and dj-ing in the island such as Villalobos and Martin Solveig. That said, there is still a handfull of off-track beaches worth fighting for. Plus, the stylish bars, chic and elegant restaurants and shops have great appeal and you could still find a quieter pulse amid the labrythine old town. Everyone once in their life time should travel to Mykonos. Mykonos really does live up its reputation as a fabulous destination.
Old Town of Mykonos is a captivating labyrinthe that's home to chic boutiques, whiter than white houses decked with "Beouganvillaes and Geraniums" plus eye catching Churches. The Churches are all all over the town white. White is the colour of Mykonos.
On the above, you can see the Church of Panagia Paraportiani. It is actually 5 churches amalgamate, in classical Byzantine style, into assymetrical entity, looking as if it has grown from the rocky ground.
In Greek Mytholog, Mykonos was the location of the battle between Zeus and the Titans and the island was named in honour of Mykons, son of Anios who was son of Apollo and nymph named Rio.
Petros the Pelican (symbol of Mykonos) is an old celebrity of the town's waterfront and Petros has been the official mascot of Mykonos for over 50 years.
And this island would not have been great with the assistance of my dearest friends, Ms.Marietta Giannitsioti and Mr.Yorgos Parisis and their great friends. I would like to thank in Greek for all of you. EFXARISTO POLI :-) Cheers for you all for these three watermelon coctails.
