Budget Hotels in Mykonos: Introduction
First of all, Mykonos is known as one of the most expensive places in Europe. No wonder why affordable and Mykonos don’t really go well together.
Why are hotel prices in Mykonos so expensive? With beauty comes a price. In order for Mykonos to maintain its architectural landscape, the Greek state doesn’t allow high-floor buildings.
