Activities in Mykonos

A symbol of Mykonos, Little Venice never fails to attract the interest of visitors, who flock to this picturesque area to take pictures with this famous setting in the background. The houses in Little Venice date from the 18^th century, while their foundations stand on the seabed. Today, various restaurants and bars are housed in these structures. A little further down the road stands another island symbol – the Windmills of Kato Mili, which ground grain into flour powered by the north wind into the early 20^th century. Today, they stand facing the sea and are beautifully illuminated at night.

The birthplace of Apollo and Artemis, according to mythology, the sacred island of Delos is where Leto sought refuge from the jealous Hera to give birth to the son of Zeus, the most beautiful of the gods. Since then, the white Archaic lions sculpted from Naxian marble frame the island and preserve its eternal aura. A day trip to the island offers opportunities to connect with mythology as well as the unique experience of taking a journey into the depths of history.
