Mykonos Sightseeing & Attractions
At the Matt Holidays Travel Agency, we can arrange sightseeing tours to all the historical monuments and attractions on the island. First off, we start our tour in Mykonos Town, to see the traditional windmills, the marvellous Paraportiani Church and Little Venice - an extremely charming area with quaint cafés and stunning views - and the wonderful museums. Strolling through the town, you will understand why Mykonos is considered one of the best travel destinations. In our Mykonos map, you can locate the lovely village of Ano Mera, home of the Church of Panagia Tourliani, one of the most impressive monasteries in the Cyclades. Touring the island, you will pass by the beautiful beaches of Agios Stefanos, Paradise, and Agios Ioannis, where the film "Shirley Valentine" was filmed.
Last, but not least, a visit to the amazing archaeological site on Delos Island, which is located opposite Mykonos, is a must. This outdoor museum is considered one of the archaeological treasures of Greece.
