Athens Mykonos Town - Cheap flights

Mykonos, also called Chora, like the rest of the Aegean towns, impresses with its typical architecture, i.e. white, small houses with blue carpentry along narrow streets. Its indispensable elements are also beaches with beautiful views and excellent hotel and restaurant infrastructure, as well as good conditions for water sports. Due to its cosmopolitan character, the island has been a favourite holiday destination for gays and lesbians from around the world for many years.

What places are worth visiting there? Certainly, a composed of four temples, white church of Panagia Paraportiani. This characteristic building is considered the most photographed sacral monument not only on the island (where there are more than 600 churches and chapels), but also in Greece. It is also worth seeing the 16th-century tower windmills (Kato Myli) situated in the south-eastern part of the city, which are the most recognizable element of the island's landscape. Must see are also Tria Pigadia, or three wells from the mid-18th century, and the Armenistis lighthouse on the north-western tip of the island. History enthusiasts should go to the Archaeological Museum, which boasts a rich collection dated back even to 3000 B.C.

When you get hungry, try not only the Greek classics, i.e. moussaka (baked aubergine with béchamel sauce), souvlaki (grilled and spiced meat) or gyros (roasted meat in pita bread). Mykonos also offers its own specialties, such as spicy kopanisti cheese or thin slices of pork in herbs, i.e. louza. Most eateries also serve fish and seafood dishes topped with local olive oil. For dessert, choose baklava or traditional almond cookies from Mykonos. Where to eat? We recommend Karavaki Restaurant, To Maereio and Vegera.
