You might think that Mykonos is a relaxing place for a vacation. And in most cases it is. The sandy beaches, the crystal blue waters, the almost isolated feel of the place.

Astra is one such nightclub. Offering a boatload of exotic cocktails and free-flowing drinks, it's party central here the moment the sun sets!
