Mykonos, also called the island of the winds, is known for its vibrant nightlife and lily-white architecture. Part of the Cyclades, Mykonos lies between Syros, Tinos, Paros and Naxos. Rising to more than 340 m at its highest point, Mykonos boasts a mountainous landscape with scanty trees. Covered with flowers in spring with only a few, not-partying tourists, Mykonos would be a fantastic destination for those not looking for the summer fuss.
And apart from all that, Mykonos is also a brilliant place for fine dining. Offering a wide range of places from boho chic to traditional taverns, the island has something to satisfy all the tastes. The good thing with Greece, is that with almost where you eat, it is always good. The bad thing is that sometimes you need more time than you planned to try it all.

Thanks to the Internet, even the rock-bottom-touristy destination can be explored upfront. So it is needless to say, Barcelona has plenty of materials to study. Its guides are full of useful information about what to see and what to do. You can find a lot of suggestions of family-friendly hotels and activities, best restaurants and Spanish and Catalan dishes to try, pet-friendly parks and non-smoking areas. For sure if you are coming to Barcelona, you have read about tapas and sangria, Miro and Gaudi, Passeig de Gracia and las Ramblas, Boqueria and Park Guell and about less pleasant pickpockets and purse-snatchers. However, pretty much often the guides do not provide you with the know-how that seems unessential but will make your holiday easy and enjoyable.

Otherwise you might get well stuck in the line and miss out other important sightseeing points. Some of the mentioned spaces will offer you a complimentary smart guide with the online tickets.
