Mykonos, Greece

Off the Beaten Path in Mykonos

The real Mykonos lives beyond the tourist trail. In the neighborhoods where locals actually spend their time, you'll find the authentic character, the unmarked restaurants, and the quiet corners that make a city worth knowing.

Mykonos is a labyrinth of whitewashed lanes, windmills, and bougainvillea-draped churches on a sun-drenched Aegean island where walking is the only way to navigate the car-free old town.
