 Mykonos, a Greek island and a major tourist destination, renowned for its cosmopolitan character and its intense nightlife. The island is part of the Cyclades, lying between Tinos, Siros, Paros and Naxos. It spans an area of 105.183 km2 (41 sq mi) and rises at an elevation of 341 m (1,119 ft) at its highest point.
 In Greek mythology Mykonos was the location of the battle between Zeus and the Titan, and the island was named in honour of Apollo's grandson Mykons. During these ancient times, Mykonos, due to its proximity to the then highly populated island of Delos (situated about 2km away), became very important as a supply island and possibly as a getaway location for Delian citizens.
 Today, Mykonos is one of the most cosmopolitan islands in Greece, having become increasingly popular with mass tourism. Mykonos is also distinctive for its sandy beaches. Many Greek and international celebrities have summer residences in Mykonos and can often be seen walking the beautiful white-washed roads or having dinner at a small street-side table at a restaurant or a cosy taverna.
 The island has regular connection with the ports of Piraeus and Rafina. There is an airport connecting Mykonos with Athens, Thessaloniki and other cities in Greece. There are many charter flights from all around the world during summer period.
