Nearby Mykonos, the island of Delos is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is considered one of the most important Archaeological Sites in Greece. According to Mythology, it was the birthplace of Apollo and Artemis. The island is now uninhabited, but you can visit it by taking one of the many ships that depart daily from Mykonos old harbor.

Things to do:

The Windmills: Perhaps one of the most photographed spots on the island. For many centuries the mills used to ground grain into flour grain with the help of the high winds that blow on the island. With the progress of technology, the use of the mills declined, and now the ones that survived are used as private homes or museums. The view from up there is incredible, and it’s also one of the best places to watch the sunset.

Little Venice: Little Venice is made up of homes that were built in the 18th century and have their foundations in the sea. Nowadays the houses have been turned into elegant bars and restaurants and are among the best places in town to watch the sunset while sipping a cocktail.

Armenistis Lighthouse: A testimony to Mykonos' maritime history, the Armenistis lighthouse stands proudly overlooking the island of Tinos. Still a fully functioning lighthouse, this landmark is a must-see!
