Tourism is the main pillar of our national economic growth. Especially during the economic crisis, tourism contributed steadily to the Greek volatile economy. The contribution of the tourism industry in Greece is significant both in terms of growth and in terms of the country's macroeconomic figures. However, uncontrolled tourism development does not usually go hand in hand with protecting the environment, especially in tourist areas that are heavily tourist-driven. In that case, having a tourism development plan and strongly promoting sustainable tourism development is useful. Mykonos is a representative sample of tourism development in which the natural and built environment has been affected. Hence, the objective of the research is to give the reader an overall view of Mykonos as a tourist destination. To that extent, data was collected and analyzed from different institutions-entities in the country. The data demonstrates the existence and breadth of tourism growth. Environmental and other problems were taken into consideration and possible solutions were proposed. The tourism arrivals and the carrying and accommodation capacity were estimated too. Furthermore, the business activity of the island and the town planning growth have been analyzed, a SWOT analysis has been conducted and sustainability models have been proposed. Finally, forecast models have been devised of tourism development.
