A bit of context

Mykonos (Greek: Μύκονος, Mykonos) is an island in Greece. It is part of the Cyclades archipelago, a group of islands in the Aegean Sea. It has an area of 86 km² and a maximum altitude of 364 m. It is mainly composed of granite rock and has little water. The largest city on the island is Mykonos, located on the west coast of the island. It forms part of the South Aegean periphery.

Archaeological findings indicate that the Ionians arrived in Mykonos at the beginning of the 11th century BC. More recent discoveries have revealed remnants of tribes from the Neolithic period. In Greek mythology, Mykonos was the site of the battle between Zeus and the Giants. The island is named after the son of the god Apollo, Mykonos. In antiquity, Mykonos, thanks to its proximity to the populous island of Delos (located about 2 km from it) was an important source of supply and possibly a place of refuge for its inhabitants.

Today, Mykonos is a very cosmopolitan island, thanks to having become a destination, in recent decades, for visitors from the international jet set.Many Greek and international celebrities have summer residences on the island, and can often be seen in the island's beautiful whitewashed houses or in local taverns.The island's beautiful beaches also attract windsurfers and nudists.
