Mykonos / Chora
ph. me
And we are continuing our Mykonos tour right away.
Let's stroll through Chora!
called Chora by the locals, is a typical Cycladic village built amphitheatrically. It has whitewashed cubic houses with wooden coloured doors, windows and balconies, narrow streets forming a labyrinth, beautiful churches, lovely chapels and purple bougainvilleas contrasting with the bright white of the buildings walls.

A typical Cycladic village with whitewashed houses, wooden colored doors and narrow streets. As you walk to the picturesque narrow alleys you will find beautiful small churches, cute local stores and many trendy cafes, bars and boutiques. Despite the fact that I consider myself as woman with a good orientation skills, gotta admit that I was really confused with those labyrinths. Luckily it's a small area, so don't worry, you won't get lost.;)
Be a true tourist for a day and check the center, before you decide that it's better to spend the day in the hammock or at the beach.
Must see:
Windmills
Little Venice (catch the sunset here)
Petros the pelican (of course, you gotta see him at least one time)
The Archaeological Museum of Mykonos (yap, we need a cultural shot from time to time)
Must shop:
Jewelry - there are so many great shops with amazing pieces, buy at least one bracelet made from leather
Must eat:
Halloumi cheese
(not a sea food lover so you won't see recommendation for that, sorry)
and of course or typical Greek food
Must be (by night):
Mamalouka restaurant
Scarpa bar
Caprice bar (have a cocktail or two, or ...)
And that's pretty much it.
Hope you will like the photos!
