General Information

Mykonos, famously called 'the island of the winds' due to the constant wind that blows, is the most popular and cosmopolitan island of the Cyclades and considered as one the most famous islands of the world.


The sunlight of Mykonos from its first sunshine of dawn all the way to its last of the sunset is astonishing and supplements an atmosphere of images that seem to have sprung out of a painting.

He most popular beaches in Mykonos are found on the southern side of the island since they are more protected from the strong northern winds. The access is very easy.


According to mythology, Mykonos was named from the hero of Myconos, son of Anios Karystos King of Delos. References available on the tomb of the Homeric hero Ajax of Locri, which existed on the island and perhaps linked to the tomb and traces of Mycenaean facility in the west or the other tomb Ftelia.


The legend says that during the Giants Hercules defeated the Giants that lived on the island and imprisoned them under the rocks.
