At the hilltop of Aggelika, near Lytra hotel, a Mycenaean tomb was discovered that dated approximately to the 15th BC century. The tomb is circular with a diameter of 5.80 m., it is dug underneath the ground and has an internal wall lining with a stonework/masonry maintained at a height of 4 m. The dome that has now collapsed had a protective embankment. On the interior's floor and in a height of 0.30 m., a stone surface is built in the shape of a greek P(which is Π), for the deposition of the dead. The chamber is accessible from a path with an approximate length of 14 m. and width 2 m. that is directed from the south to the north. All funerary objects and offerings, pottery, jewelry and crystal gems, can be viewed in the Archaeological Museum.

Delos is a small island with great archaeological importance and an extent of 3.4 square kilometers.

Located very close to Mykonos, the legend has it that Leto took refuge here in order to avoid the wrath of the goddess Hera andgive birth to Apollo and Artemis, who were illegitimate children of Zeus. It is said that the island was by then a piece of land "hidden"(adelo) floating under the sea, and appeared upon Poseidon's intervention for Leto to give a safe birth. According to myth, Zeus watched the birth form the mount Cynthus which is the highest point of the island (115 m).

The historian Thucydides mentions the Kares, as the first inhabitants of the island. The archaeological findings confirmed the prehistoric occupation of the island (3000 BC). Since the beginning of its existence, Delos is a very important religious center. Around 1000 BC Ionians settled on the island and at that time, every four years, the Delia were celebrated, a huge festival in honor of Apollo, Artemis and Leto that included sacrifices, dances and music competitions.

During the Persian Wars, unlike the rest of Cyclades, the island was not destroyed thanks to its sacred character. From 478 BC it was the seat of the first Athenian or Delian League. Here the Alliance Common Fund used to lie, until its transfer in 454 BC to Athens (and its further utilization in projects on the Acropolis,among others).

The island flourished from the late 4th century BC, while being independent under Macedonian and later on Roman rule. In 88 BC the island was destroyed by the troops of Mithridates, who demolished monuments, temples, statues, took money from the temple and killed 20,000 people. Following on, Delos met other disasters that led to its gradual desolation and conversion into a pirates' den. Archaeologists first visit Delos in 1877 and reveal impressive findings, such as the Way of the Lions, with five of the original nine lions surviving today, the temple of Apollo, the ancient theater ruins, with a capacity of 5000 seats and so many other things that a one-day-visit will not be enough them all.

Delos features also an archaeological museum (Tel.: 22890 22259) with numerous findings from the island, although in fact the whole island is a museum itself. After all, it has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. You can visit Delos only during the day by boat from Mykonos (starting point is the harbor opposite the church of Agios Nikolaos in Chora, port authority's tel. 22890 22 218 ).

Mykonos, just like most islands of Cyclades, is ideal for windsurfing, due to the great winds during summer. There are several notable windsurfing spots that are already popular, and many others waiting for you to discover them.

And if after (or before) windsurfing, you crave for something different, in Mykonos you will find water slides (in Elia) and all water sports you can possibly imagine. Thinking of Jet-ski, water-ski, kite, banana boat, crazy sofa, rubber ring, sup, canoe or water bike? In Mykonos you can do it all! For diving enthusiasts there are plenty of diving schools to learn the sport's secrets' and hundreds of diving spots to be enchanted by the underwater magnificence. Still, if you happen to like hiking, Mykonos can be explored on foot, thus discovering firsthand one by one its hidden natural treasures and beauty. Hills crafted out of granite, small gulfs inaccessible by car and so much more, await for you. However, if you are not exactly the walking-type, you can hike. Mykonos features hiking schools for those wanting to experience a special hike. And if you guys are even more extreme, this island has more alternatives. An awesome kart race is there, for you and your friends to speed with time as your only rival. Even if you are a fan of " war-simulation games", Mykonos has only the best to offer. Featuring a super Paintball field, it will inject your time with unforgettable memories, battles with friends and " enemies"-and probably a couple of bruises.

Are you ready? Choose your poison and.. Off you go!

This used to be a not so popular beach among tourists, but a rather firm choice for locals and faithful visitors of the island. Now that its beauty has become known, more and more people select it. And if I may add, Panormos is my personal favorite. Especially during late afternoon when loud music starts to fade, the whole landscape transforms into an idyllic location.   Panormos, being 5km from Chora, can be reached only with your own vehicle.

Agios Ioannis beach is located 3.5 km from Mykonos' Chora, overlooking Delos. Golden sand, parasols and loungers, absence of water sports and unique view, set the perfect setting for those seeking to relax and enjoy swimming in tranquility.

To reach Agios Ioannis you have to drive or take the bus, while if you happen to come by the end of September you will stumble upon the renowned panigiri (fest).

Agios Sostis beach is in the northern part of the island, right next to Panormos and in a 5 km distance from the center. The fans of the particular beach, add to its advantages the absolute lack of beach bar infrastructure. Agios Sostis was traditionally the nudist beach par excellence, while it is also among the pet-friendly beaches. . Just note that you can reach it only with your own vehicle.

The beach of Agia Anna is next to Klafatis bay, approximately 10 km from Chora. Light sand, loungers, parasols and beach volley, synthesize the landscape of this marvelous beach. For those who adore diving, in Agia Anna there is also a diving center.

Psarou beach is right before Platis Gialos, in a 4 km distance from Chora and prides itself as one of the finest beaches of the island. Its great advantage is the serene waters that, rare for a cycladic bay, are a result of the surrounding mountains' protection. Therefore, you should have no fear for, even with blustering winds, you can still enjoy your swimming. But exactly because it is so popular, being probably the most cosmopolitan beach of Mykonos, do not forget to reserve a lounger and parasol to enjoy all the privilege Psarou has to offer. And by saying all, we truly mean it.. It will be extremely hard to find something that the local businesses do not provide, together with the impeccable quality and the best service.  Of course, Psarou could not but have all the facilities for water sports and diving. And if you still are not convinced... In Psarou you will have the chance to taste the world famous Nammos' food and cocktails. Do not miss this experience for the world!

The beach of Houlakia is situated 2 km from Armenistis Lighthouse. It has been declared a monument of great natural beauty, taking the name Houlakia from the pebbles with which it is filled. The rocks on the coast resemble cannon shells, and even though they constitute the beach less attractive for swimming, they add that extra something worth seeing.

This is a quiet and remote beach in a 3 km distance from Ano Mera. Fokos beach is near the namesake artificial lake in the northern bay of Mykonos, right after the second dam. Not being organized, this is a beach that goes beyond the general rule of crowded Mykonos' seashores. This special characteristic renders it ideal for relaxation and chilling, while if you wish so, nudism is accepted. During the day do not forget to grab a bite in the wonderful tavern of the area. You can reach Fokos with your own vehicle.
