Mykonos
Island, Greece
Author:
Paul Everton
It
is the cosmopolitan centre of the Cyclades complex. Its reputation
has spread during the last years owed to its unparalleled landscape,
its archaelogical sites, its cosmopolite environment and its
glorious beaches. White-washed, cube-shaped houses are scattered all
over the island, narrow down streets in the city, chapels &
picturesque tavernas hide amongst art galleries & stores selling
jewellery, souvenirs etc.
Styles that sweep across the global scene are born in the vivid
nightlife of this contemporary resort. An island of luring and
tempestuous reputation like Mykonos, with high tourism & a rather
superficial lifestyle, inevitably has each fans and critics.But even
the most unsuspicious visitor immediately understands that Mykonos
is not just a crazy "bon-viveur", but likewise an attractive,
picturesque island with white Chora apart the crystal-clear blue
waters of the Aegean.
Because it is so famous, Mykonos gets really overcrowded in the
period of high season but for those who enjoy the crowd, great fun &
all night long entertainment, Mykonos is the idealistic place for
vacations.
The beach of Platis Yialos is first of the most mainstream beaches
of the island, it is full organized, offering sun beds, umbrellas, &
water sports installations. Its golden sand and marvellous turquoise
crystalline waters attract thousands of people in the period of
summertime time. It is approachable by local bus departure each half
an hour from Chora. From Platis Yialos beach, regular taxi-boats go
to the beaches of the southern coast which are Paranga , Agrari ,
Elia , Paradise & Super Paradise.
Agrari and Elia are placed one next to each other, forming a huge
sandy beach, 10 kilometres from Chora. Elia is the longer sandy
beach of Mykonos, fully organized, offering a wide selection of
taverns & bars as well as water sports installations. Agrari Beach
is less popular than its neighbour & much calmer. They each may
likewise be reached out by local bus.
Paradise is one of the most famed beaches of Mykonos, pulling in
mostly a young crowd by its twenty-four hours music and its day and
night beach parties. Paradise beach is set between Paranga Beach &
Super Paradise Beach & is approachable by a pathway from Platis
Yialos, by bus or by taxi-boat.
The notable Cavo Paradiso which is a big building complex working
like a night club, holding a pool, a restaurant and a beach bar, is
placed on a hill, higher up the beach. By night, Paradise Beach
transforms into a very big club with music & people dancing on the
sand and the rocks till dawn.
In Mykonos the party begins with a toast to the sunset in Little
Venice & continues through the night at the dance clubs and bars
tucked away in city or even by Paradise Beach. Worth a visit? It
sure does!
