Mykonos Walking Tour

Mykonos, Greece

Why Walk Mykonos

Mykonos Town (Chora) is a dazzling maze of narrow whitewashed alleys intentionally designed to confuse pirates, and getting lost is half the fun. The iconic row of windmills above the harbor and Little Venice — a row of medieval houses with balconies hanging over the sea — are the postcard views. But wandering deeper into Chora reveals hidden chapels, artisan boutiques, and quiet squares with tavernas serving fresh seafood. The Panagia Paraportiani, a cluster of five churches merged over centuries into a single whitewashed structure, is one of the most photographed buildings in Greece. Beyond town, coastal paths lead to beaches and the archaeological island of Delos, the mythological birthplace of Apollo, accessible by a short boat ride.
