A Trip to Mykonos

A couple of weeks ago, I went to Mykonos with seven friends.

I think it's true to say that a trip with friends once you've finished school is fairly traditional, and certainly something I had been thinking about for a few years now: it's always been "when I finish school I'm going on a party holiday with my bestfriends!". So, in December 2013, I, along with seven girlfriends, decided to book a trip for summer 2014 to Mykonos, a greek island well known for its great nightlife.

We created a group on Facebook so that we could all exchange ideas, flight prices and houses we found online to rent. After a couple of weeks of searching, we finally settled for a cute four bedroom/four bathroom house in a town called Ornos.

This is a photo of the outside of our house, it had a very nice pool. Our house is the one in the far left corner. As it was a complex, there were other houses around the pool as well.

When we arrived in Mykonos, we were picked up by a mini van to be taken to the house. The van had wifi, which I thought was pretty cool! We visited the house which we were very pleased with, and then went food shopping. We all thought the Island was so beautiful, and we all felt very pleased with the choice of our holiday destination.

I wont bore you with details of what we did everyday, but I do want to talk about some specific places that I would definitely recommend visiting if you are planning a trip to Mykonos.

1. Club Tropicana

Club Tropicana is a day beach party/club. There is loud music on the beach, with hundreds of people dancing just by the sea. The vue is beautiful. There is a bar, and also a delicious pizzeria. The ambiance/atmosphere was really great at Club Tropicana, the sun was shining, music playing loud, everyone dancing, it was really great fun!

2. Cavo Paradiso

I think this club is the largest on the Island, and definitely my favourite. Theres a big round outdoor pool in the middle of the club, with people standing and dancing all around the pool (there are safety barriers of course). The rest of the club is sheltered, giving it a cave-like feel. There are many strong lights everywhere, with very loud music. It is certainly very impressive. I saw the famous DJ's Axwell & Ingrosso from Swedish House Mafia play at this club.

3. Paradise Club

Another very great club. It is mostly outside which is actually really nice as I felt like I could breathe properly. I visited this club twice, the first time to see Martin Solveig, and the next time to see Steve Aoki. Unfortunetely, when we went to see Steve Aoki I caught the flu, so I had to go back home early. I felt better the next day though!

4. Mykonos Town

I had never been to Greece before, so I wasn't familiar with the cute little white roads, that I actually really fell in love with. Everything was so cute in the town, very clean and fresh as well. It was lovely.

So there we are, a little summary of my favourite places in Mykonos. I would definitely recommend going if your looking to go on a party holiday with your friends, it really is the perfect place. Well, I absolutely loved it and would definitely go back.

I hope you enjoyed this blogpost!
