If it's Good Enough for Shirley Valentine... - Travel - Destinations

<p>This small green island in the Aegean sea, part of the Cyclades group, attracts holidaymakers back year after year, but also boasts international stars and famous people as its regular summer visitors. After all, if it was good enough for Shirley Valentine...</p>

<p>Mykonos Town is the main island resort and people booking cheap holidays to Mykonos often find themselves stating here. Its beauty is perhaps only surpassed by its friendly atmosphere and frantic party nightlife. Square whitewashed houses line the maze of narrow cobbled streets filled with colour by the blue wooden shutters and flower filled balconies. Geraniums, colourful herbs and bougainvillea cling to every wall as each way you turn is a profusion of vibrant colour and sweet smells. </p>

<p>Down by the waters edge is an area known as 'Little Venice' where the balconies on Venetian styled houses hang over the lapping water below. Enjoy a romantic evening meal here as you watch the sunset over the sparkling blue Aegean waters. You may even be joined by the islands mascot, Petros the Pelican as you enjoy your evening meal.The Kato Myli windmills lie just outside of town and are an extremely popular tourist attraction, especially as the sun sets behind them.The party atmosphere in Mykonos Town is second to none and there are plenty of bars and clubs to keep you entertained well into the next morning.</p>

<p>Paradaiso and Super Paradaiso Beaches often play host to international DJ's during the height of the season and are definitely the places to be seen. Mykonos Town also has a fantastic gay scene due to its chic image and party atmosphere. </p>

<p>If you head just along the coast to Plati Yialos you will be greeted by safe sandy beaches and calm shallow waters, perfect for families. Snorkelling is a favourite pastime or if you're feeling slightly more energetic try windsurfing or water skiing. Take a water taxi along the coast to one of the neighbouring bays and coves or enjoy a leisurely stroll along the beautiful cliff top trails. Nightlife is much more laid back here than in Mykonos Town with restaurants and tavernas lining the waterfront creating a lovely friendly atmosphere on an evening.</p>

<p>This is one of the best islands in the Aegean to enjoy scuba diving from with plenty of wrecks to swim around, colourful corals and fascinating fish.</p>

<p>With a vibrant party life, plenty of water activities, stunning scenery, fantastic nature trails and beautiful beaches, cheap holidays to Mykonos have something that will surely suit the whole family, no matter their age or how fussy they are!</p>
