one of the most desired destinations in the world. The cosmopolitan
lifestyle, the sophisticated nightlife and the historic treasures of the nearby

Mykonos is definitely the number one
island in the Cyclades, thanks to its treasure of natural beauty, rich history,
cosmopolitan character combined with a wild nightlife, as well as plenty of
local color.
The poetic setting of
Little Venice is the ideal place to start in the late afternoon with cocktails
and chill-out music in one of its many romantic bars to prime your mood for
after-midnight reviling. Among them Caprice is a classic,
offering stunning sunset views by the water.
Galleraki (Little Gallery) is another one in a
poetic-artistic ambient. Further along the harbor front, next to
Paraportiani Church, you can also enjoy sunsets and drinks at
Kastro. By the port, Nine Muses
"specializes" in Greek-tinged fun.
At the other side of the old
harbour, you will find superb vistas to the marinas and Chora, El
Pecado is a requisite stop. Right above that, overlooking the open
Aegean
Sea, you’ll find the cute
Oniro on the road to Tourlos.
Bustling with energy, "downtown" Mykonos is
where a number of clubs are gathered offering anything from transvestite techno
to mainstream rock music. Pierro's, at the little crowded square
of Ag. Kyriaki, was the very first gay bar to have opened on the island, while
Manto and Ikaros are also on
that same spot next to each other. Spacedance Experience
, at Lakka square, as its name suggests, offers non-stop partying
all night long with various DJ-sets and an agenda full of events. On the central
Matoyanni street there are several to-see-and-to-be-seen bars like the
Anchor (Agyra) , Egli, Astra,
Argo, and Celebrities, attracting diverse crowds
ranging from celebrities to backpackers.
Cavo Paradiso , built on
a rock above Paradise Beach like a theatre expanding on the extraordinary
landscape, is a unique dance-music ‘shelter’ leading the trends since 1993 when
it first opened, the ultimate after-hours club on the island with an ever
impressive lineup of guests. Also offering high-energy levels of partying
at Paradise beach is Tropicana. At Paraga Beach,
Kalua has helped to establish this lovely smaller
beach as an alternative to Paradise in partying terms.
Skandinavian Bars - Disco
leads the nightlife of
Mykonos since 1978. It is the best known meeting point of the island - a place
where you can meet your friends or make new ones! The variety inexpensive
cocktails, and drinks, plus the easy open location, help to create a fun night
in Mykonos.
