With a bevy of beaches and parties to rival Ibiza, holidays to Mykonos serve Greek island charm with a sprinkle of glitz.

Two halves of a whole island

Loved by the world's glitterati since the 1960s, Mykonos – one of the four South Aegean Islands off the south-east coast of Greece – has long been the place to see and be seen in. Glamorous beach clubs and deluxe boutiques mingle with unknown northern beaches, family-run tavernas and waves made for watersports.

Land of the Greek gods

A trip to Greece isn't complete until you've wandered through the site of an ancient ruin. Take a 30-minute ferry ride from Mykonos to the isle of Delos – one of the largest archaeological sites in Europe. Said to be the birthplace of Apollo and Artemis, it'll give you a close-up view of historic Greece.

All that jazz

Head to Mykonos Town for a trip back in time to when after-hours partying was all about cocktails and jazz. In addition to dance clubs and discos, nighttime revelry joints include jazz clubs, Champagne bars and speakeasy-style underground cocktail lounges.
