Known as one of the most famous Greek Islands, Mykonos is a very popular holiday destination in the summer months. There are many ferry routes departing from Mykonos Port, mostly fairly short crossings to other coastal resorts belonging to Greece. Famous for its luxurious beaches, scorching temperatures and, of course, the notorious party scene, Mykonos is usually inundated with young people across Europe looking for temporary tans and cheap alcohol. The beaches are rightfully popular; the golden sands next to crystal waters create an idyllic setting for a holiday in the sun, especially during the summer months. If the beaches seem popular, then the bars and clubs come nightfall will be twice as busy – for relentless partying then the strip of clubs is the place to go. Contrary to popular belief, there is more to Mykonos than the thriving nightlife and young holidaymakers: the island is filled with hidden caves and traverses that are a refreshing change from the lively atmosphere. For a middle ground between partying and a mild stroll, there are canoeing and kayaking excursions available, supervised by fully qualified instructors. Taxis are probably the best way to get around Mykonos, though the buses are a reliable and cheap alternative option. Much of the centre of the island can be covered by foot, which is a common choice considering the typically pleasant weather.
Rafina is located on the Aegean sea coast about 30 km east of the centre of Athens in Attica, Greece. Though further away from Athens than neighbouring Piraeus, Rafina port is actually closer to the airport which makes it popular with international travellers passing through on their way to the Greek Islands. Rafina is the 2nd largest port in this region after Piraeus (Lavrio being the 3rd) and serves ferries to the southern part of Euboea as well as providing connections to most of the islands in the Cyclades group. With a huge number of ferry crossings in operation, services are offered by the largest of the Greek ferry companies.
