10The Island of the Winds

Mykonos is often referred to as the “Island of the Winds” due to the strong summer winds, known as the “meltemi,” that sweep across the Aegean Sea. These refreshing breezes provide relief from the summer heat and make Mykonos a popular destination for windsurfing and kiteboarding enthusiasts.

While the winds can be intense at times, they also add to the island’s romantic atmosphere, with billowing sails dotting the horizon and waves crashing against the rocky coastline.
