Mykonos is the most popular island destination of Greece in terms of
cosmopolitan lifestyle and vibrant nightlife as witnessed by a vast
number of bars and nightclubs. The island belongs to the Cyclades
complex of islands, located among Paros, Naxos and Tinos, spreading in
area of approximately 105 km (~40 sq m). Additionally its highest spot
stands around 340 m (~1,20 ft).
Despite the lack of green
nature, Mykonos Island has significant beauty. Composed mainly of
granite the island has approximately 9.000 inhabitants a norm that
increased radically from spring to autumn. Both locals and visitors live
and stay (where Aeolos Hotel is also established) at the island’s
capital, Mykonos Town or Chora as called in Greek on the west coastline.
