Mykonos

Shopping in the Old Town

Shining white houses with flower-adorned balustrades, balconies and small inner courts nuzzle around the bay just behind the lively port of Mykonos City.

Here, next to the coast, houses are flat, and lanes narrow and turbulent, evoking long gone days. History becomes alive for the visitor. Mykonos City's architecture corresponds to the typical Cyclades' architecture, conserving originality in spite of booming tourism. This special flair captivates more and more visitors.

The pedestrian zone offers whatever shopping fans may desire. Shops are incountable and, walking the Old Town, the visitor will discover something new each time.

Upside the port, in the quarter of Kato Myli, the restaurated windmills are a popular photo motive, being really typical for the island.
