MYKONOS

Mykonos is the cosmopolitan centre of the Cyclades. Its low rocky hills slope down to enchanting golden beaches. Grey-green boulders sprout prickly pears and windmills. Despite the dazzling light the summers are refreshing. One can find beaches that are almost empty, or rub shoulders with hundreds of scarcely dressed beauties. Whitewashed cube-shaped houses are scattered about. In the narrow streets of the town chapels and picturesque tavernas hide among folk art shops and shops selling jewelry and furs. Trends that will sweep the international scene are born in the intense nightlife of this modern resort.
