Exploring The Beauty of Mykonos

Every single view on the paradise island of Mykonos can be considered picture-perfect. Mykonos is a stunning island in the Mediterranean Sea that’s become a powerhouse of a tourist destination, and it’s natural or manmade beauty is a huge part of it. There are so many spots that are impossibly beautiful that it’d take you a lot of time to explore the entire island and its nooks and crannies.

Little Venice
Italy has had a huge influence on the development of Greece and Mykonos in general. They were a huge deal just a couple of centuries ago, in the 16th and 17th century, which was the time when Little Venice was constructed and developed by Venetian sea merchants. It feels like it’s a spot ripped straight from Venice, and the entire beachfront with its restaurants and hotels is an amazing romantic spot that you’ll never want to leave. It has a unique artistic charm that’s been recreated in paintings and other artworks, so make sure to spend as much time as possible.

Kato Mili
If you prefer to have a good mix of perfect views and history, then Kato Mili, or the Lower Windmills, is the perfect spot for that. They’ve been constructed several centuries ago by the Venetians in the town of Chora. Some of them stand on the top of the famous spot called Chora Hill, which is where you’ll find some of the finest panoramic views on the island.

Ornos
The beauty of Ornos is more calm and quiet than anything else. It’s a small village on the southwestern part of the island, and it’s an interesting mixture between a fishing village and a bustling resort. Its whitewashed villas are some of the most unique ones in the entire wider region, and the beach is considered one of the cleanest and picturesque ones around. Staying at the Adorno Suites right beside the beach is definitely the best way to experience Ornos.

Ano Mera
Mykonos has much more history than merely the Venetians. The village of Ano Mera is a colorful little place in the heart of the island, and it’s one that known for its historic and cultural heritage. It’s also the spot of a famous local church by the name of Panagia Tourliani, which is not only a prime example of local architecture but also the home of several Byzantine relics and artifacts.

Matogianni Street
Exploring the most unique street on the entire island is always a treat. Matogianni Street is a fine example of how culture, history, and shopping can come together to form one beautiful whole. Filled with shops of varying sizes, most of who sell handmade arts and crafts, as well as cosy taverns offering food and drink, make for one fantastic setting to spend an entire day exploring.

Mykonos is a destination that has so much to offer. Its beauty is practically unparalleled in the entire Mediterranean, and it’s such a rich destination that you’ll never feel like you’ve seen enough so as to stop exploring more and more of the island.
