How did Mykonos achieve such perfection? Upon viewing photographs of the town, one might ponder why the buildings are so immaculately white. However, it is easy to become lost in admiration of the island’s picturesque beauty, from the Cycladic architecture with its brilliant blue accents to the stoic windmills. The reasons why Mykonos became one of Greece’s most iconic international travel destinations, a nightlife capital for the affluent in the 1960s and 1970s, and continues to attract seekers of excellent shopping, dining, and strolling today, become evident upon visiting. Additionally, do not miss Mykonos’s neighboring island, Delos, which offers another perspective of Greece with its archaeological ruins of temples and sanctuaries from ancient times.
