More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The morning light on Mykonos sharpens the Aegean into a strip of glass as your private vehicle threads coastal roads toward sun-scoured bays. You begin at Ai-Giannis, where a small chapel perches above swimmers and the island of Delos hovers on the horizon like a pale promise. Windwhipped Kite Beach follows — surf, color, and motion — then Kalafatis opens into broader turquoise, a perfect backdrop for photos before the village calm of Ano Mera.

Mykonos grew from fishing and maritime trade; Ano Mera’s monastery has been a community focal point since the island’s post-medieval era.
Conservation
