Perched on a harbor in the middle of a wide bay, Mykonos Town, also known as Chora Mykonos, is a picturesque Cycladic town with a maze of narrow, winding streets. The sun sparkles off the jumble of whitewashed houses and churches, creating a striking contrast against the blue Aegean Sea. As the island’s commercial hub, the traditional buildings now house a variety of shops, cafés, galleries, and Greek restaurants, offering visitors a blend of historical charm and modern amenities. Today, guests can explore the winding alleys, shop for local crafts, and savor authentic Greek cuisine while enjoying the town’s vibrant atmosphere.
