Global City Guidebook 2024

Located in the heart of the Cyclades island group, Mykonos offers travelers a luxurious holiday. Whether you are looking to sit back and relax by the water, go on a shopping spree, visit art venues, see archaeological sites or dance at nightclubs, Mykonos has something for you.

GETTING THERE & AROUND

Travelers starting their adventure in Mykonos fly into Mykonos-Manto Mavrogenous Airport. Most visitors transfer into town via taxi, costing about $30 for the 10-minute trip. Once there, visitors primarily explore the town on foot. The Greek government proclaimed the town an architectural landmark, prohibiting most motorized traffic. A bus system takes you to a few destinations on the island. Another fun way to get around is the Platis Gialos boat service, running to the southern beaches.

Wellness Comes Naturally in Greenville, South Carolina

Strolling through downtown Greenville, South Carolina, it’s easy to see why the city ranks high among the best places to live in the United States: Shops, restaurants and coffee bars line the streets; there are also performance venues, hotels and outdoor plazas. But what really sets this upstate city of just more than 78,000 residents apart are the easily accessible parks and walking trails encouraging both residents and visitors to explore the city by foot or cycle (both handcycles and adaptive bikes are available to rent). Even better, as Greenville continues to grow, city planners and major employers work together to expand these opportunities. When Greenville’s Swamp Rabbit Trail, for instance, opened in 2009, the paved, multiuse pathway ran about 9 miles from the heart of Greenville to the town of Traveler’s Rest.

Grand Hotel Des Bains Kempinski St. Moritz Review

Switzerland’s most storied ski town (the one, in fact, credited with pioneering the very concept of Alpine tourism), St. Moritz legendarily attracts the rich, the famous, celebutantes and the wannabes. Yet, there’s something compellingly earthy about the place, a town on a lake rich with natural environs, where winter sports and summer activities draw athletes and mountain lovers aplenty. As at the mountain restaurants (where some arrive by chairlift rather than muscle movement, and all types of diners and imbibers convene), Grand Hotel des Bains Kempinski St. Moritz straddles the old and new, the lavish and the understated. The hotel, one of St. Moritz’s oldest, opened as a spa haven in 1864, set atop a healing mineral spring.
