Dovecote Mykonos Cyclades Islands Greece

  The island is a cluster of islands including Delos, Renia and some islets. Together Mykonos, already inhabited since the 5th millennium BC (Prehistoric settlement of Elm) has shared a long and rich history. Its intense tourist and cosmopolitan who always keeps to the fore, inevitably reminds us of the cosmopolitan ancient Delos during the period of its commercial peak (Hellenistic - Roman period).

The classic myth, the Giants killed by Hercules during the Giants, buried under the imposing cliffs of Mykonos. To name seems to indicate a "heap of stones" or "stony place". In a later tradition, the island is connected with the hero Mykonos, son of the king of Delos Anios, which was in turn the son of Apollo and the nymph Roious- descendant of Dionysus.

The island was one of the first Greek islands developed for tourism. Already in the 1960s, tourists flocked en masse to the island. Today the nightlife of Mykonos is considered one of the most vibrant and active in Europe. The most famous part of the island country called Little Venice because of its similarity to Venice. Mykonos is an island in the Aegean Sea and belongs to the Cyclades. The capital is the town, located on the western side of the island.
