Mykonos is wonderful! It is one of the most popular Greek islands with cruise ships and its whitewashed architecture and narrow streets are enchanting. Be sure to stop in Mykonos during your visit to Greece for at least the following reasons:

1. It’s easy to get lost while strolling along the numerous alleyways of Mykonos, but just head downhill to eventually find the harbor.
