Visitors to Mykonos will be able to learn more about the popular island and get around easier thanks to a new smart sign system now in place.

The Mykonos Port Authority in collaboration with the municipality, Five Senses Consulting, Sky Maps and WISIE presented this week the new initiative dubbed “Mykonos Smart Signs Project”.

The new interactive system includes 10 signs from the port to the old town which use QR and NFC technology and provide information in five languages on the island’s history, culture, gastronomy, local products and activities while directing visitors to relevant local businesses.
