Mykonos Chora is a stunningly pretty town, with the brightly painted balconies of the whitewashed cube shaped houses and a maze of narrow streets, is gathered around its harbour in the middle of a wide bay.
Traffic is banned from Mykonos town center, thus the character of the town has been preserved. There is no need to mention the world famous vibrant nightlife, where the island dances till the morning, no need to mention the numerous smart restaurants neither the bustling jewellers and boutiques.

On the Kastro hill is the island's oldest church, Panagia Paraportiani, an arrangement of four chapels into one. Places of interest include the Archaeological Museum which exhibits finds from tombs on the nearby island Rhenia, vases and sculptures, the Nautical Museum of the Agean (close to Tria Pigadia square) with navigation instruments, old maps and model ships. The Folklore Museum exhibits a collection of icons, folk musical instruments, costumes and textiles.
