About Mykonos Island

Mykonos, called by most 'The island of the Winds,' is a slice of paradise in the Cyclades island complex. With its postcard-perfect whitewashed houses, stunning blue-domed churches, and golden beaches, Mykonos offers a rare mix of tranquility, high end entertainment and world class cuisine, unmatched by any other island. Whether you want to relax by the crystal-clear waters, stroll through quaint cobblestone streets, or dance the night away at world-famous beach clubs, this island has something for all age groups and demographics.

Mykonos has a rich history that dates back to ancient times. It was named after the hero Mykons, a descendant of the god Apollo. The island played a significant role in Greek mythology, said to be the site where Hercules defeated the Giants, whose petrified remains formed the island's rocky landscape. In later centuries, Mykonos became an important maritime hub during the Byzantine and Venetian eras, with nearby Delos acting as a significant trading post.

Mykonos health and safety

Mykonos is a very safe island, but its high energy requires some awareness. The primary safety concern is the narrow, winding roads, so exercise extreme caution, especially if renting an ATV or scooter. In the bustling nightlife scene, be mindful of your surroundings and drink responsibly. As with any Cycladic island, the summer sun is powerful, making sunscreen and staying hydrated essential.

For medical care, the island is well-equipped. The public Mykonos Health Center provides general services, and numerous private medical clinics in and around Mykonos Town cater specifically to tourists. For any serious incident, the European emergency number is 112.

You will find many well-stocked pharmacies throughout Mykonos Town and in other key villages, offering everything from prescriptions to high-quality sun protection and first-aid supplies.

When visiting Mykonos, a few practical tips will enhance your trip. The currency is the Euro (€); while cards are widely accepted, carrying some cash is wise for smaller cafes or tips. Greek is the official language, but you'll find English is spoken fluently in virtually all tourist establishments. As is standard for the Cyclades, it's recommended to drink bottled water instead of tap water.
