Leisure Activities

Little Venice

This is a very popular destination for visitors offering a stunningly beautiful sea frontage featuring colourful houses built right on the sea. It’s also very popular with local artists who will offer to sell their work to visiting tourists. Photographers will also find plenty of opportunities for sensational photos and you will see why it’s one of the most photographed sites in Europe.

Mykonos Town

The capital of Mykonos and the most picturesque village on the island. Known as Chora by the locals, it features a maze of narrow streets and white washed houses with colourful wooden doors and balconies. It’s also home to fantastic cafes, chic boutiques, souvenir shops and jewellers. Standing on top of the hills overlooking the town are the famous windmills

Lia Beach

Situated on the south eastern side of the island, Lia beach is one of the most beautiful beaches on Mykonos. It’s also one of the quietest beaches, so it’s perfect for relaxation. There are sunbeds and umbrellas available and snorkelling is popular due to the beach being surrounded by rocks. Nearby there are a couple of restaurants and a beach bar which sells snacks and drinks.

More About Mykonos

Mykonos is one of the most visited cosmopolitan islands of the Cyclades. It‘s everything you picture when you think of Greece, with picturesque windmills, traditional whitewashed buildings and a stunning coastline. This wonderful island offers sandy beaches, luxury hotels and great nightlife to suit all tastes. Pristine sandy beaches can be found along the south coast, whilst Mykonos Town is a labyrinth of narrow streets with a wide choice of restaurants lining the harbourfront. It's an ideal place for a spot of shopping before trying the local meze and sitting back with a cooling drink to people watch - absolutely perfect! The beaches are a lovely place to relax but there's plenty of opportunity for being active too. The island has well-equipped dive centres so you can learn to dive, or you can try snorkelling, waterskiing, surfing or windsurfing. Elia Beach has a long stretch of sand fringed by excellent eateries and from here you can take a water taxi to Paradise Beach which can be fairly quiet until the music and partying starts in the afternoon and goes on late into the night. There are plenty of excursions and sights to enjoy and we would highly recommend a boat trip to the pretty island of Delos. This once-sacred island was, according to mythology, the birthplace of the twin gods Apollo and Artemis. Other sights on Mykonos include the much-photographed church of Paraportiani, Armenistis Lighthouse and Alefantra or 'Little Venice' with its historic buildings and colourful balconies.
