7A Maze-Like Town Designed to Confuse Pirates

The island’s main town, Chora (also called Mykonos Town), is known for its labyrinthine streets filled with whitewashed houses, blue doors, and colorful bougainvillea.

This design was intentional—it was meant to confuse invading pirates in the past. The narrow, winding paths make it easy to get lost, but that’s part of the charm of exploring Mykonos Town.
