Mykonos is a classic Greek Island adorned with whitewashed houses, blue-domed churches and iconic windmills. Add a reputation for beautiful beaches and you'll understand why Mykonos is the most popular island in the Cyclades. Roam the island's scenic landscapes in a 4x4 vehicle or embark on a ferry journey to the enchanting isle of Delos.

Port of Call: Santorini, Greece

Perched on the edges of dramatic sea cliffs, the whitewashed villages of Santorini create an iconic scene that's been captured in countless photographs worldwide. The island's charm and subtle mystery have even made it a target of speculation as the location of the lost city of Atlantis.

Adapters and Converters in Europe:

Please remember to bring a European adapter for your electronic devices. In Europe, the standard voltage is 230 V, and the frequency is 50 Hz, with power plugs and sockets of type C, E, and F. Since the plug shape used in Europe is different from most other regions, your standard plugs won’t fit directly into European wall sockets, so you’ll need a special adapter to bridge the gap.
