Why Mykonos, Greece.
Mykonos Town (Chora) is a postcard Cycladic maze — the windmills and the seaside cafés of Little Venice are the icons.
Its beach clubs — Psarou, Paradise, Super Paradise — set the template for Mediterranean glamour and nightlife.
A short boat trip reaches the UNESCO island of Delos, the mythical birthplace of Apollo and Artemis and a vast archaeological site.
Designer boutiques, celebrity-favourite restaurants and yacht arrivals give it a jet-set summer energy.
It’s easily combined with Santorini and the other Cyclades by fast ferry — the classic Greek-island hop.

Mykonos is the Cyclades at its most glamorous — a maze of whitewashed lanes and blue shutters around the windmills and the waterfront of Little Venice. By day it’s designer beach clubs and turquoise coves; by night it’s the Mediterranean’s most famous party. The sacred ruins of Delos, birthplace of Apollo, lie a short boat ride away.
