Reiseziel-Bewertung
Praktische Infos
Beyond the famous beaches and nightlife, Mykonos has a lesser-known artistic side. The Rarity Gallery on Kalogera Street showcases contemporary art from international artists, providing a surprising contrast to the island's ancient ruins and traditional architecture. Wander through the narrow streets of Ano Mera, a village that remains largely untouched by the island’s tourism boom, where you can visit the 16th-century Panagia Tourliani Monastery with its intricate marble bell tower. Dining in Mykonos offers more than just seafood. At Kiki's Tavern near Agios Sostis Beach, you can savor grilled meats cooked over charcoal, served without electricity in a rustic setting overlooking the sea. For a sweet treat, sample loukoumades, Greek doughnuts, from Gioras Wood Bakery, a family-run bakery in Mykonos Town that dates back to 1420.
