Every year Pinterest puts together a list of recommended travel destinations for the year ahead. Interest in Mediterranean islands has been surging, but Mykonos is emerging as the clear star of the show, with pins and searches up around 96 per cent for this island paradise.
Here are just a few reasons why Mykonos, as an ideal sailing getaway destination, thoroughly deserves all the attention it is receiving.
The Ideal Location for a Spot of Retail Therapy
You’ll find yourself presented with an array of shopping opportunities, including unique artisanal shops and beautiful boutiques with well-curated collections of clothing, jewellery, and homewares. The main town of Hora is one of the best places to go if you’re keen to partake in a spot of retail therapy, whether for yourself or for gifts for your nearest and dearest at home.
Enjoy the Island’s Pristine Coastline on your Sailing Getaway
Whether you want to soak in the sunshine from the comfort of a white sandy beach, stroll along the shoreline taking in one of the region’s famous sunsets, or get involved in some adrenaline-inducing water sports, Mykonos has a stretch of coastline with your name on it.
You can choose to partake in a scuba diving adventure to a nearby wreck or opt for a shallower diving experience among the brightly coloured marine life around Bikini Reef. Alternatively, you can opt to enjoy a cocktail on one of the island’s party beaches, or embark on a short walk to find a more secluded stretch of sand on which to relax with a good book and the sound of softly lapping waves.
Relish the Variety on Offer in the Island’s Restaurants
With its variety of family-run tavernas and sophisticated fine dining restaurants, you’re certain to find an ideal dining location in Mykonos. From authentic Greek cuisine to contemporary sushi restaurants and French bistro-style cafés, you can expect to enjoy an array of dishes made with locally sourced ingredients and served with a selection of locally made wine.
