Mykonos Vacation Guide
According to mythology, this Greek island owes its existence to Hercules. In one of his 12 tasks, he killed giants and then threw them into the sea. The giants petrified and turned into huge rocks, forming Mykonos.
This dry, arid Greek island is situated in the middle of the Aegean and covers an area of only 85 square kilometers. However, its landscape has accurately been described as "a symphony of blazing bare rock, blinding white peasant architecture and numerous stretches of the most beautiful sandy beaches set against the deep blue background of the Mediterranean Sea."
Although one of the smallest islands of the Cyclades complex, Mykonos is the most famous, thanks to its:
• Natural beauty
• Gorgeous beaches (southern coast)
• Unique and attractive Mykonos Town (maze of narrow lanes, windmills)
• Pristine whitewashed buildings, churches and houses with blue roofs
• Scenic crescent-shaped harbor (Mykonos Town)
• Wild nightlife
• World-wide reputation as an A-list destination for the rich and famous
Some people feel that Mykonos is throwing its uniqueness into the sea by catering exclusively to tourists and their pocketbooks. However, Mykonos manages to preserve its color and character.

Sydney is such a great place to visit. Opera house by the harbour is very lively from daylight, and even more fun at night. Enjoy the music by the Opera House,see the wave splashing,and look up the stars at night while you're having your dinner.
