General presentation
Mykonos and Delos
Mykonos combines Cycladic villages, lively beaches and crossing towards Delos, one of the great ancient shrines of the Aegean.
The discovery of Mykonos and Délos revolves around Chora de Mykonos, Délos and Moulins. The stay thus alternates between the island landscapes, the coastline and the heritage, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: high budget and festive atmosphere. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Town or village
Chora de Mykonos
The Chora de Mykonos unfolds a labyrinth of white alleys, colorful balconies, chapels and tight passages designed to cut the wind. Between the old port, the Little Venice and the shops, it remains very lively, especially in the evening when the facades take on the warm light.
Town or village
Délos
Délos is joined by boat since Mykonos and offers an ancient city with open air, with shrines, mosaics, houses, stone lions and views of the Cyclades. The absence of modern habitat makes the walk particular, almost dry and mineral, under a often very strong light.
Town or village
Mills
The mills of Mykonos dominate the Chora from a hill exposed to the wind, with their round silhouettes facing the sea. They are mainly linked to the image of the island, but the site also applies to the view of the Little Venice, the port and the white alleys below.
