In the distance before reaching panoramic you can see a village made up of a bunch of white houses and a labyrinthine set of streets. In fact, if you take a map, is almost certainly going to miss you. But is it worth it lost in its streets, and thus discover places that are not listed in any guide.

Attractions in Mykonos:

Here surely hear the locals about the legend of the city, this goes back 40 years ago, where a fisherman from Mykonos encountered a wounded pelican. I was so moved by the pelican, who decided to take it over. After recovering the child, decided to release him. But surprisingly, the pelican had not chosen the air as his home, but decided to settle in Mykonos.

Another place of attraction is called «Little Venice.» The district of Little Venice is full of elegant and beautiful old houses that are precariously situated on the edge of the sea. No one can travel to Mykonos and not visit this charming area. That if this neighborhood is transformed at night, and that’s when you can find a huge party.

Moreover, from this area you can glimpse the famous windmills of Mykonos, which were mainly used for grinding of agricultural yields and in total there are 16 operating mills. The mills are conspicuously white as snow, and no wonder there were so many mills on the island, as it is famous for its winds.

Beaches:

If the capital left astounded all who visit, expect to find beaches that are accompanied with fine white sand with crystal clear waters fully. Too bad many of them are saturated with hammocks and parasols. However, this applies to the southern beaches because of the north are virtually untouched, and you can enjoy sand, sun and water without large crowds, it’s great!

Nightlife:

That if, in some of the beaches, especially Paradise and Super Paradise, tranquility ends at 17:00, at which time the party starts, the go-go dancers jumping on the tables and are also part of the enjoyment of the party. Here, the parties usually end at midnight, but that’s when you have to go to the capital, and continue there until the sun rises again and you can go to sleep at the hotel with the little strength you have left.
