WANDERLUST SATISFIED

Cycladean myths to beachside beats

With over 300 sunny days a year, it's easy to see why this utopian isle is a popular choice for travelers looking to indulge. Spend the day basking in the sun, discover hidden enclaves off-roading in a 4x4, or island-hop along the stunning coast. Foodies looking to treat their tastebuds, look (and walk) no further than the cobblestone streets of Little Venice that feature some of the best food in Greece. No matter how you spend your time in Mykonos, the only emotion you'll never feel is guilt.
