29 Apr What is Mykonos in Greece known for?
Mykonos is undoubtedly the queen of the Cyclades. It is an island with the most vivid nightlife in Greece, but it also has astonishing beaches, a beautiful Chora and elegant shops, boutiques and restaurants.
Let’s see everything you need to know about Mykonos, the ideal destination for jetsetters and demanding guests!
Chora of Mykonos
The Town of Mykonos (or in Greek Chora) is full of white-washed houses, narrow paved streets, bars, high-end restaurants, haute couture boutiques and shops with local products, where you can stroll around for hours!
The most romantic spot is Little Venice, where fishing houses line the waterfront with their balconies hanging over the sea, creating a unique scenery, which reminds of Venice. Cocktail bars and restaurants by the sea are perfect for relaxing, but after midnight, most bars in Little Venice become party spots.
Another unmissable spot in Mykonos Chora are the Windmills. They are standing at the highest point of the town with a breathtaking view of the Aegean Sea and the whole island. They are well-preserved, being a vivid sample of the Cycladic architecture. Taking photos at this spot is a must to remember the unforgettable moments of your vacations, as the windmills are the trademark of the island.
At night, the best place to be in the Chora is the streets inside the town that remind of a labyrinth. They are called Matoyiannia, and here is the center of Mykonos nightlife with innumerable clubs and bars for a convenient bar-hopping with lots of drinks and the sound of techno, house, pop and Greek music until late the next morning. Elegant shops, restaurants from many cuisines, boutiques and wonderful squares make this area in Mykonos Town the best place to walk around, meet new people and discover the beauty of this white town.
