"Beaches, white and ruins" a Mykonos Travel Page by SirRichard

Being nearly the most touristic island of Greece and a rather spoiled place, I tough Mykonos would be a place to really avoid. We arrived there in high (though not peak) season, without pre-booking, in Easter. The first tries were useless, everything was full, it was half raining and we were tired after the ferry... I was beginning to hate Mykonos!

But suddenly we entered in a travel agency where they found an appartment for us in the capital, the sun appeared, and we saw our first Mykonos sunset!
Things changed, we rented a moped to see the island, visited some not-so-crowded beaches, and after 3 days there I must admit it was a good experience. I wouldn't return, as there are Greek Islands I appreciate much more, but Mykonos can be all you expect from a Greek Island... except calm!!!

Another good reason to visit Mykonos is the close by island of Delos. Once a sacred island and an important aegean hub, this island full of ruins really deserves a half day trip from Mykonos, reserve some time for it!!
