Party Travel of Mykonos

The island is a pure Party Island where the youthful Greeks come to have fun.
Mykonos offers a unique, diverse and sophisticated nightlife, from quiet bars and revelry to Hot Clubs and lively discos..

Since the time of Flower Children, the Greek island has enjoyed a legendary reputation for nightlife. But everything on Mykonos remains small-scale and manageable, and that adds to the charm of the island's nocturnal atmosphere.

The life & History of Mykonos

The Cycladic islands form a cluster in the Southern Aegean Sea. These include Mykonos, Delos, Naxos, Andros and many other smaller islands, with clean beaches and seas. On all of the islands are small picturesque towns and villages, which are architecturally very interesting.

Mykonos means experiencing history

There are pieces from almost all periods of human civilisation, from prehistoric to classical, Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, Frankish, Turkish and modern remains here. The islands of the Aegean Sea and Mykonos also offer travellers a wide range of entertainment. Here you can choose between a modern cosmopolitan centre and an idyllic atmosphere, which still survives in the outlying villages.

Shopping in Mykonos is always great fun

Mykonos features hundreds of narrow streets, churches and windmills. Since the Second World War, Mykonos has been a tourist centre of international renown. Many travellers from abroad find a fascinating variety on the island, both at night and during the day. Mykonos was discovered in the 1950s by movie stars such as Liz Taylor and Anthony Perkins, and a holiday on Mykonos is not reserved for the rich and famous alone. People who visit the island come from all over the world and from different social classes.

Those who care about fashion see the island as a tourist destination in itself. If you are on the island, it is best to make plans because there are many beautiful boutiques, so an evening stroll would definitely pay off. Trade also booms on the island, with gold, silver and other beautiful pieces of jewellery sold at relatively cheap rates.

Experience The Evening & Nightlife In Mykonos

You can end the day in one of the many cosy restaurants with good traditional Greek cuisine or celebrate through the night at one of the many parties on Mykonos. In Mykonos Town, or Chora, as it is also called, there are many trendy clubs with lots of charm. It is easy to find the right club to suit your tastes, or you can relax in one of the many bars with Greek music in the background. Whatever your idea of a good evening is, you are sure to find it here. There is also a place called “Venice”, the artist district directly by the sea.

Experience Tradition During the Holidays

You can come here to celebrate many traditional festivals as a tourist as well. You can experience quite a different Easter here than you are accustomed to, because in contrast to the Catholic and Protestant churches, Easter for Orthodox Greeks is a bigger holiday than Christmas.

In Chora, Good Friday is quite symbolic. When the evening mass is over, the 5 Catholic churches in the area join the Sepulchral procession, each group walking at a slow pace to meet at the “Pantanassa” square. Each Sepulchral is decorated with flowers and escorted by its parishioners. It is really huge, and as a tourist, this is something you wouldn’t want to miss. A doll is burned on Easter Sunday to represent the time Judas betrayed Jesus.

The 1st of May is celebrated again in a big way. All the houses and many cars are decorated with flowers, and the Greeks go out to eat or have a picnic. This picnic is a large, common spontaneous party, with lots of traditional Greek music and good food.
