This barren, dry island frequently plagued by high winds, but graced with fantastic beaches and a cosmopolitan, beautiful and colourful town, has the most exciting and sophisticated nightlife in Greece. Together with the islands close proximity to Delos it is the most popular island in the Cyclades.

Three cities were built by the Ionians on Mykonos: one south of Hora, the next at Dimastos and the third at Panormos.  All three were destroyed during the war between the Romans and Mithridates of Pontus. Mykonos Town was rebuilt during the Byzantine period and the Venetians surrounded it with a wall that no longer exists.

Accommodation

If you are looking for excellent B class hotel accommodation check out the Rochari Hotel. I can personally recommend it for very friendly staff, great rooms, fantastic views of the town and only a 5 minute walk to the harbour front. Also, the Mykonos Accommodation Centre provides extensive information on lodging available and Matt Holidays should be checked out for their very nice range of island hotels.
