...Situated on the northeastern corner of the cyclades, Mykonos is well known for its extensively narrow street and party atmosphere. The actual structure of Mykonos town dates back to the times when pirates would often scour the med looting islands, the narrow streets were developed to counter these threats and also to combat the blustery wind that mykonos gets.
Nowadays Mykonos is heaving in the summer months. In addition to the numreous bars and clubs are some other pleasant sites including the town of Oronos and an area named 'little Venice' just next to the main town...a remnant from Venetian rule....

Advantages: As above Disadvantages: Can be windy, expensive
...This is one of the most expensive of the Greek islands, but also one of the nicest. Can be very windy.
Mykonos town is a maze of little cobbled streets (To defy the wind)
with white washed houses and it is very easy to get lost.
Interesting sights are :- the windmills, Paraportiani church (The most photographed in Greece)Little Venice and of course, the Pelicans
wich can be seen wandering around the harbour.
Some very nice beeches to the south of the island.
Day trips are possible to neighboring Islands of Delos, Tinos and Syros.
All in all Mykonos has some thing for every one, sights, good beeches and shops, night life and Island hopping....

Advantages: nice places Disadvantages: Don't travel in August
...If you want to see the best part of Greece,that is the place to first visit.There are so many islands :Mykonos,Santorini,Paros,Antiparos,Naxos,Ios,Kalimnos,Milos etc.
The first one it should be Mykonos.Very busy during the summer plenty of night life and the sea is just fantastic.
Santorini:The volcanic island with the small roads and the archoelogical sites offers one off the most spectacular sceneries in the Cyclades.There are no cars or motorbikes just mules to travel you around.
Paros:Is the same story as Mykonos but bigger island.Nightlife great places to go around and very large population during the summer time....
