2. MYKONOS

Probably the most famous Greek island. It has a typically Cycladic landscape. It is arid and surrounded by magnificent beaches. It owes its fame to the beauty of its capital, Chora, to its white houses of narrow and intimate passages, as well as to its many high quality beaches. It is a very visited island, with a very accentuated and crazy nightlife. Here we must make an important clarification: there is a gay environment but as much as anywhere else. As this environment there are many more, as many as there may be on the island of Ibiza or Tenerife. The tourist has to take into account that it is a small island and therefore the distances are short. The island of Mykonos, more and more, is chosen on a trip to Greece as the only destination. Likewise, more and more are the "repeater" clients of this island. And they say it is the best island to establish human relationships: Since its size is small, everyone is close to others.
