Mykonos is not the way it was, neither would it be expected to remain as it was before her tourist growth. Mykonos is not the virgin islet anymore; it is a place of destination for tourism of all purses; it has changed and has been upgraded, in order to it remain thus. Everything has changed and in order to make the tourists interested - Greeks and foreigners alike.
Mykonos today is a place of tourists from the all over the world and for different reasons. Some for their swimming, others for the amusement, others for Delos, others come just to be seen. Mykonos in the year 2005 was, for the Americans, the first choice for a vacation.
What will the tourist find today in Mykonos?
Firstly the beautiful beaches for swimming, from May to October. Platy Yialos, Paranga, Paradise ([Kalamopodi]), Super Paradise (Plintri), Agrari, Elia, Kalo Livadi, Kalafatis, Lia, Merhia, Fokos, Ftelia, Panoramas, Agios Sostis, Saint Stefanos, Ornos, Saint Yiannis are most popular.
The nightly amusement is loud and constant.
The town of Mykonos, with the traditional architecture, her white cubistic houses, her churches, her windmills, "Little Venice", has a number of museums - archaeological, folklore, and nautical, beautiful traditional festivals (panigyria), dedicated to the Saints of our religion, the Ano Mera community with her monastery, beautiful villages in the countryside.
and our pelicans that are always set up for photographing to everyone.
I wish she will remain beautiful, traditional for us the residents but also for all her visitors.
