If you’re lucky, you may bump into one of the island’s resident pelican mascots as they wander in and out of the kitchens of the tavernas, looking for treats. The birds are a long-standing tradition that goes back to the 1950s when Mykono...

The main villages to...
Early Evening
Head to the settlement of Oia on the northern tip of the island, claimed to be home to the world’s most magnificent sunsets.
