Most of its inhabitants are located in the town of Myconus (also known as Chora). In Greek mythology Myconus is the site of the mythical battle between Zeus and the Titans, and its name is said to be derived from that of Mykonos, the granddaughter of Phoebus. The island of Mykonos is the destination of thousands of tourists every year, who come here for a vacation of crystal-clear sea and unspoiled nature but also nightlife entertainment. It was once considered the island of gays, but later became the summer capital of tolerance in general. Nevertheless, the character of the island as an "alternative" island, which was very strong especially in the 1980s and 1990s, declined later both because of the growing success of Mykonos worldwide and because of competition from new resorts aimed especially at gay tourism such as Ibiza and Sitges. Among Mykonos' many beaches, the best known are Kalafatis, Paraga, Paradise, Super Paradise and Elià in the southern area and Aghios, Panormos and Stefanos in the northern part. In addition to the transparent sea, tourists here find numerous clubs and discos, pubs, breweries and stores, open 24 hours a day for a fun-filled vacation until dawn. That's why it's no wonder that many people want to rent a beautiful villa in Mykonos for their next vacation.

Vacations with friends: villa in Mykonos
Its quaint alleyways among the whitewashed houses have seen the passage of numerous celebrities over the years, and in the evenings they fill up with tourists who wander the clubs or go in search of one of the many last-minute parties. Although the landscape is barren and barren, the many beaches along the rugged coastline, its countless alleys from the harbor to the center, and the many small churches built as vows by sailors returning from long voyages make Mykonos the most fascinating island in the archipelago.
The island of Mykonos is the ideal destination not only for those who want to have fun and stay late but also for those who just want to enjoy the sea and the relaxation of some secluded cove or get fit with various kinds of sports, from diving to horseback riding. To move around the island you could rent a scooter or a car, so you could also visit some historical points of interest such as the Museum of Folk Art and the Archaeological Museum, the ruins of Panormòs in Palio Kastro or the archaeological remains near Lino.

Explore the town and discover the beautiful Greek architecture
As the masses begin rolling out of their beds in their holiday villas and onto the beach, take this as a cue to start exploring the city as it empties out. Indeed, spending the hot afternoons strolling around the cool, shaded streets of the old city is one of the more exquisite, if lesser-known pleasures of booking Mykonos accommodation. A great place to start is the Church of Paraportiani, a magnificent example of the periodic architecture, something that undoubtedly sparked the notice of aristocratic pleasure-seekers as a truly refined destination. A mid-afternoon picnic on the hillside is a wonderful way to enjoy a view of the harbour and sea, while discovering peaceful isolation above the din of the city. That din, however, may be just what you’re looking for as night falls and the lights turn on in the city; nightlife in Mykonos is as raucous and fun-filled as it is inviting. Then relax by the pool in your Mykonos villas or other holiday rentals.
