Occasionally overlooked, though certainly not to be missed, below is a selection of six of Dynamic Lives most appealing elements of natural and notable beauty from these spectacular destinations.

Kato Myloi

These iconic windmills dating back to the 16th century oversee the Aegean Sea and are almost certainly best visited at sunset. The surrounding historic neighbourhood of Alefkandra should be explored while you are in the area and the picturesque Little Venice nearby will make for a perfect evening stop for dinner or a drink at the water edge.

Panagia Paraportiani

Built between the 15th and the 17th centuries, Panagia Paraportiani, situated in the neighbourhood of Kastro in the town of Chora, is reputedly the oldest church in Mykonos. The whitewashed structure showcases a unique and diverse array of architectural styles utilised in its construction and contributes to it being perhaps one of the most photographed churches in the world.

Armenistis Lighthouse

Situated on the more tranquil side of the island, far away from the crowds, the lighthouse serves as a reminder of Mykonos’ rich maritime history and offers exquisite panoramic views towards the neighbouring island of Tinos and the surrounding seas.

Es Vedra

Es Vedra is a place of both magnificence and mystery. The ancient rock prominently protruding from the bay of Cala d’Hort is host to many a myth and is perhaps Ibiza’s most well recognised natural landmark and probably best enjoyed from one of the two nearby restaurants of Camen and Es Boldado, especially so if timed as the sun sinks into the Med.

Atlantis

The former Phoenician quarry of Atlantis provided the stones that built the ancient walls of the heritage listed Dalt Villa. The remaining rock formations have left a series of natural pools in which one can wallow whilst enjoying the views. It takes a little effort to discover, but as with many of Ibiza’s more clandestine gems, the journey is well worth your while.

Sa Talaia

Standing at nearly 500 metres tall, the mountain of Sa Talaia is the highest point in Ibiza and offers unparalleled vistas of the island. You have the option of a long yet rewarding walk or the less demanding route of driving close to the peak and strolling the short distance to the top. Take a picnic for a spectacular sunset. Or sunrise should you decide to rise early.
