Mykonos in Greece has a long history dating back to ancient times. According to Greek mythology, the island was formed from the petrified bodies of giants that Hercules killed. Due to its proximity to Delos, the mythical birthplace of Apollo and Artemis, Mykonos played an essential role as a religious centre in ancient Greece. Over the years, various civilisations, such as the Ionians, Dorians and Athenians, have inhabited the island. In addition, Mykonos has been mentioned in Greek literature, including the Odyssey. The city flourished as a trading hub and maritime power in antiquity, leaving behind archaeological treasures such as the ruins of ancient settlements and temples. Even today, these treasures continue to attract visitors to the island. It is a popular holiday destination for tourists, celebrities, and honeymooners.
