Take an excursion to the island of Delos
The Cyclades archipelago has many islands relatively close to each other. To the southwest of Mykonos is Delos, full of archaeological treasures and hidden myths with historical significance. An ancient economic and commercial city and the birthplace of Apollo and Artemis, many remains from this period are preserved and waiting to be discovered.

Walking through the streets of Choras, Mykonos town
Choras is one of the most typical villages in the Cyclades and among the most beautiful in Greece.

The sun reflecting off the pristine white houses contrasting with the fun wooden doors painted in bright colors will give you wonderful shots of the little village.
Located at the bottom of the hill by the sea, "Little Venice" is one of the most romantic areas of Choras on the island.
