Happy Hour and Greek Gods
Besides the myth-enshrouded historical origins of Mykonos, the nightlife on this vibrant Cycladic island is steeped in legend too.
Once upon a time, Hercules vanquished mighty giants and threw their petrified corpses into the sea. According to Greek mythology, those very bodies are what formed the island of Mykonos. Characterised by blue-shuttered, whitewashed houses, narrow streets and inviting tavernas, this island in the Aegean Sea embodies Greece in every way. Mykonos is blessed with a gentle climate which makes it a desirable holiday destination in winter as well. That said, anyone looking to bathe in the sea waters will want to consider visiting the island in summer or autumn.
