Top Ten Destinations of Greece - #5
The Island of Mykonos

By deTraci Regula, About.com

Row of Mykonos windmills

Greece has depended on the power of the winds for thousands of years.

deTraci Regula
The most famous Greek island got that way for good reason. It's charming, fun, beautiful, and now, renowned for sophisticated, international goings-on. Vibrant nightlife, terrific shopping, more nude and non-nude beaches per square mile than anywhere else in Greece, loved by gays, straights, honeymoon couples, Greeks, tourists...though half of all these groups will insist that the island is passé or over-developed, they still come in droves. Genuinely sick of the frenzy? Get over onto the other side of the island for an entirely different Mykonos, one which boasts a chapel for every day of the year.
