With sugar cube houses stacked along the coastline and the beautiful blue sea below, it’s easy to see why Mykonos is one of the most photographed destinations in Greece. Known for sun holidays and excellent nightlife, there’s still plenty of sightseeing in this stunning location.

 

• Archaeological site of Delos, this well-kept ruin is known as the birthplace of Apollo, god of music and truth. In summer, arrive early for tours around the site and to see the lion statues of Mykonos.

 

• Little Venice, there are plenty of cafes and restaurants here, so grab a table towards the end of the day to enjoy an amazing sunset. Look out for the Mykonos pelicans – an added attraction.

 

• Matoyianni Street, this pretty winding street is the perfect shady place to pick up designer clothing and jewelry, as well as postcards, trinkets and souvenirs of your time in Mykonos.

 

• Church of Paraportiani, is a Greek Orthodox church is typically unassuming, simple and painted bright white, with a domed roof. One of the best and most pretty buildings to see in Mykonos.

 

• Castle Panigirakis, high on the cliffs of Mykonos is this historic building, now a hotel and event venue. Here, you can enjoy views right across the bay, or take a yoga class at sunset.

 

• The Windmills (Kato Milli), visit this pretty Mykonos attraction for a slice of history. This site won’t fill a day, but it’s a nice walk from Little Venice so plan it into your tours of the area.
