Mykonos

Description

Are you looking at pictures of Mykonos? This is a real place. It really looks like that today. No, seriously. For as beautiful as the entire country of Greece is, this is the place that people go for a truly picturesque vacation. The buildings are quintessential Greek-traditional Cycladic and bright white, sprawling along the coast. The sky and water fight over who is the more brilliant color of turquoise and the sand is so vibrantly golden that you'll want to take it home with you. Although Mykonos would be worth visiting solely for its beauty, it's the unparalleled vitality that keeps visitors flocking to its shores. The cosmopolitan nightlife on this island on the Aegean Sea has the energy level of ten small children on sugar and caffeine. It just doesn't sleep. In fact, if you do sleep, you can wake up the next morning and continue the party on the equally lively beaches. When you're ready to take a break from the parties, boutique and gallery shopping will send you home with contraband so unique to Mykonos that your copycat friends will never be able to imitate it. And the outdoor adventures give even the most tropical of island vacations a run for their money.
