A Greek island in the Cyclades group in the Aegean Sea, Mykonos is famous the world over for its exclusivity, jaw-dropping hotels and signature white-washed streets. Broken up by the blue window and door frames and other eye-popping accents, Mykonos' streets might just be the most beautiful in the world.

There's also a very practical reason behind the blindingly white walls – it helps keep the houses cool during the hot Greek summers. Whatever the story behind them, it's made ranking them number one on this list a no-brainer.
