Before you travel to Mykonos!

- Respect local Mykonian culture, traditions and holy places - if in doubt ask advice or don't visit

- Use public transport like buses, hire a bike or walk when convenient - its a great way to meet local people on their terms and reduce pollution and carbon emissions.

- Use water sparingly - its very precious in the Greek islands and tourists tend to use far more than local people.

- Remember that Mykonians have different ways of thinking and concepts of time, this just makes them different not wrong - cultivate the habit of asking questions (rather than the Western habit of knowing the answers).

- Write to your hotel with any comments or feedback about your holiday, and especially include any suggestions on reducing environmental impacts and increasing benefits to the local community.
