According to mythology, during the battle between Hercules and the Giants, Hercules threw the corpses of the Giants into the ocean, where they petrified and transformed into the rocky mass that is now Mykonos.

And while the legends may be nothing more than the mythical tales of Greek poets, the island of Mykonos has become an emblem of Greek lore. Traces of mythological fables are etched into the city streets and embedded in the hearts of those who call Mykonos home.

However, the island is also a place that shimmers with cosmopolitan energy and authentic beauty.

By day, you can wander down the iconic cobbled alley of Matoyanni; laze beneath a thatched palapa on Paradise Beach; indulge on an authentic gyro in Little Venice; visit historical sites such as Panagia Paraportiani; or climb to the top of the island and gaze down in awe at the Cycladic architecture sunken into the landscape like glowing sugar cubes.

When the sun sinks below the horizon, you will find yourself swept up in the scintillating romance, mystery and fervid energy of the nightlife.

Although Mykonos is considered safe, crime does happen. It is advisable to take certain precautions and maintain vigilance as you would in any other unfamiliar city. Travel insurance to cover theft and medical expenses is recommended.

Adders, vipers and coral snakes are present in Greece. Wear boots, socks and long trousers when venturing into untamed areas. Avoid travelling alone at night (especially if you are a woman). If you have to travel around at night, stick to well-lit areas and make use of marked taxis or car rentals. Avoid carrying large sums of cash and important documents, as pick-pocketing and bag snatching can happen.

Bottled water is recommended. Although the risk of malaria in Greece is low, precautions should also be taken to avoid being bitten. Avoid dehydration, heat stroke, and sunburn by drinking plenty of water and using sunscreen with a high SPF. Proof of yellow fever vaccination is required if you are travelling from a yellow fever endemic area. Immunisations against hepatitis A & B and rabies are recommended. Other routine and recommended vaccinations include MMR, diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis, varicella and polio.
