Mykonos is one of the Cyclades islands in the central Aegean Sea, covering 85 sq km between Tinos to the west and Naxos to the south. The island is famous worldwide for cubic white architecture, hilltop windmills, glamorous beach clubs, and a nightlife scene that runs from sundown until sunrise. Mykonos Town (Chora) is the only major settlement.
Mykonos National Airport (JMK) handles seasonal flights from Athens and many European cities, with the new port at Tourlos receiving high-speed catamarans from Piraeus and other islands. The sacred archaeological island of Delos lies a 30-minute boat ride southwest. Peak season is mid-June through August, with significantly cheaper rates and better weather in May, June, and September.
