Church of Panagia Paraportiani

The Church of Panagia Paraportiani, a highlight of Mykonos’ picturesque Little Venice, was built between the 14th and 17th centuries. Comprised of five whitewashed chapels spread across two floors, this iconic structure once guarded the entrance to the town’s castle. Today, visitors can admire the church’s simple yet striking architecture, with its smooth, white surfaces and unadorned lines, which make it one of the most photographed sites on the island. The church’s serene setting and historical significance offer a glimpse into the island’s past and a tranquil respite from the bustling streets.
