welcome to Euraps2011!
 Mykonos is part of a cluster of islands including Delos, Rhenia and some rocky islets. Mykonos is located to the area of the central Aegean Sea and belongs to the prefecture of Cyclades. Its total surface is 26.370 acres, while the length of its shores reaches 81 kilometers.
Mykonos, already inhabited since the 5th millennium B.C. (prehistoric settlement of Ftelia). Its intense tourist and cosmopolitan activity, which has continuously kept Mykonos in the foreground, inevitably reminds us of the cosmopolitan ancient Delos during the period of its commercial peak (Hellenistic-Roman Period). Since the fifties, Mykonos has always been one of the most popular tourist islands of the Mediterranean.
 Chora, as the town of Mykonos is commonly known, impresses and casts its spell on the visitor from the first moment, with its beautiful position, scale and architecture. The island manages to maintain its cycladic features and traditional look, like few other towns. Its cube-shaped, all white houses glow in the sunlight, scattered wisely and orderly in the countless labyrinthine alleys and streets with whitewashed cobbled pavements. A little further, on a low hill, the windmills, having stood for centuries, compose a picture of unparalleled beauty in combination with red domes and bell towers of the countless churches. In the harbor, a small colorful flotilla of caiques and fishing boats completes this unique picture with its vivid colors.
It is an island made by Gods for people...
 Who hasn't have something to say about Myconos, who hasn’t swim in its vast boundless blue waters, who hasn’t have lived unforgettable moments…
Mykonos, the sea, the sky, the sun, the hospitality, the fun, the harmony, the charm. A never-ending real myth surrounding us, every part of it a reality, something special, challenging you to live it, taste it, relish it.
A barren island, arid, burned by the sun but full of golden beaches and crystal waters. The white color, the stone and the scattered mountains are indelible memories in the mind.
 The natural elements are vivid and strong, filling you, guiding you in new sensations; the air, the sun, the moon are the eternal guides. The harmony of the Mykonian architecture is really astonishing. The location and the way the town of Mykonos is build -inside the Northern eye- the port, the particular colors, it is an exceptional masterpiece. No man and no plan would be able to create something so unique. The feeling of getting lost in the alleys is fascinating. The exit to the seashore is where we end our walk, with a glass of ouzo and the view of the boats. You walk and think that you know everybody…you wave and they wave back. As if you have grown up in this neighborhood. Everything is simple, familiar and hospitable. A warm and relaxing atmosphere... Hospitality and a hug are something you can take with you and carry it forever.
 And when the sun sets the mood changes. The rhythm becomes vibrant, fast, full of fantasy and intensity.
You can experience everything you want, as much as you want it, as much as you can handle it. Everything is nearby, just beside you, you only make the choice...
You simply choose to come to Mykonos
