Enjoy all Mykonos has to offer, from beautiful sandy beaches to archaeological wonders to the extravagant nightlife!
The island of Mykonos is situated in the Cyclades complex and is arguably the most famous island due to its natural beauty, rich history and cosmopolitan lifestyle.
The island's landscape is a combination of bare rock, blinding white peasant architecture and, in contrast to its small size, numerous stretches of the most beautiful sandy beaches.
Whether you want to laze on the beach, immerse yourself in the island's rich history or dance the night away, Mykonos has it all!
Mykonos is world famous for its beautiful golden sandy beaches and clear blue waters. There is a beach here to suit every type of traveler, whether you want be part of the party crowd at Paradise beach with its 24 hour music or somewhere more peaceful like Kala Livadi. Looking to do a bit of Wind surfing? Head to Korfos or Ftelia.
Day two of your excursion you will be taken to Delos Island only a short boat ride from Mykonos. Delos, without a permanent population other than a myriad of ghosts, is an enchanting contrast to the relentless liveliness of modern Mykonos. The island is one of the most important archaeological sites in Greece, and certainly the most important in the Cyclades.
If it's the nightlife of Mykonos you're after you can enjoy afternoon cocktails and chill out music in the picturesque setting of Little Venice or for something a little wilder, head downtown where a number of clubs are situated offering anything from transvestite techno to mainstream rock music.

We were extremely happy with the accommodations and the travel arrangements. There was a threat of a transportation strike on the day of our return so thjey contacted us a couple of days before to arrange for an alternate plan as a natural worrier, this was very helpful for me. The one portion of the tour with which we were not happy, was the tour. It was horribly inefficient in its management late departure times, overcrowded boats, no clear instructions on procedures. However, we survived the short excursion with pleasant thoughts of the resort pool and beaches. Five stars for overall trip and one star for day trip.

I am beginning to see just how awesome the Hermes en Grece tour folks are. When I first saw the Petasos Beach Resort, my thoughts were OK, interesting, could be better. The resort is very nicely done, modern, stone floors, plenty of room, our patio has an ocean view. However, after traveling today through Mykonos, I see how nice our location is. We do not have the best room in the hotel, our patio has a view of the ocean, but it is limited, that is what happens when you book with a tour service, but they saved us hundreds of Euros over direct booking, a very fair trade and it is a fine room. The bathroom has a deep tub and a huge glass window looking into the bedroom. Anyway, plenty of space, anything that you need. Breakfast was wonderful. It is self service, many of the tables are oceanfront, fresh fruit, cereals, eggs and meats, pastries, a very fine breakfast. After breakfast, we caught the water taxi to Elina, 7 Euros a piece. I loved the boat ride, but wanted a bit more ride. It is apparently a nude beach, but we did not hang around to find out. We had a nice coffee at the one taverna on the beach and a taxi drove up so we took advantage of that and headed into Mykonos town.
