 What Not to Miss in Mykonos







 A top destination that treasures not only high life and unique
 experiences but history, local culture and natural beauty.



 Delos excursion
 Delos. The place where light was born! As the largest
 archaeological site in Europe, with a unique history of humanism
 and cosmopolitanism, it is the island of Delos that essentially
 made Mykonos known around the world. It is worth dedicating
 a full morning to tour the multitude of sacred monuments, such
 as the Agora of the Hermaists or Competaliasts, the Temple
 of Delia (the last and largest of the three temples of Apollo)
 and the Avenue of the Lions. Born and raised on the island of   009_CURUDO ad_fin.indd   9                     5/8/19   4:41 μμ

 Movie nights under the stars!
 In the heart of Mykonos Town, amongst the bars, restaurants,
 hotels and shops, one comes across a small oasis, Cine Manto,
 an open-air summer cinema where you can enjoy new releases,
 as well as some old favorites. Located in the lush gardens of the
 Municipal of Meletopoulos Botanical Garden, Cine Manto offers
 a completely unexpected experience, a secret shelter, a small
 piece of paradise hidden in the very heart of Mykonos Town. The
 unique huge garden filled with trees and the largest - perhaps -
 cacti in the world is protected from the wind, and is always cool
 as it is one of the few parts of the island, where the elements of
 soil, trees and water take centre stage. Open air cinemas are an
 integral part of the summer experience for Greeks all over the
 country offering an unparalleled and unique experience adored by
 the likes of Jean Paul Gaultier whenever he visits the island.





 Scorpios
 No special introduction is really needed when it comes to
 Scorpios, the perennial hit located on the rock on Paranga.
 Combining the island’s hip vibe with a boho aesthetic right next
 to the waves, Scorpios offers premium entertainment services
 and sublime music ensured to transport you.
