This is the Ibiza of Greece. A beautiful island in the Cyclades, which looks just like the postcards: white little houses with flowers and blue windows and doors, handpainted streets, windmills, pigeon keepers, chimneys, lots of little churches and wonderful restaurants and cafes.Many of the Greek either have a house here or visit every summer, and the nightlife is very developed. You will see a lot of eccentrics especially at nighttime. Even though it is a party-island, it is not as loud as for example Ios and Kos, so you can get sleep at night. Mykonos has a reputation for being a summeresort for mainly gay men, which is not entirely true.

The island was once very poor, and the people tried to survive on fishing and stock breeding on the harsh land. A major industry was also ship construction. Tourism has turned the economy over since it started in the 1950's and the locals have a double attitude towards this it may have saved the economy but some also feel that it has taken over too much.
