6Mykonos – The Quintessential Cycladic Town

Known for its vibrant nightlife and cosmopolitan atmosphere, Mykonos is also one of the best places to experience authentic Cycladic architecture. The island’s main town, Chora, is a masterpiece of traditional Greek island design, featuring narrow, winding streets lined with white cubic houses adorned with colorful doors and shutters. 

One of the most famous architectural landmarks in Mykonos is the neighborhood of Little Venice, where houses built right on the water’s edge create a romantic, Venetian-inspired setting. Another must-see is the iconic windmills of Mykonos, which have become a symbol of the island. These charming structures, once used for grain production, now stand as a reminder of the island’s rich past and offer breathtaking views of the sea.
