Mykonos Town holidays will find you lost in the maze of narrow streets with whitewashed houses clutching tiny balconies and colourful window boxes overflowing with bougainvillea and basilicum. Legend has it that Mykonos Town was designed like this to confuse pirates and you can almost picture them frantically searching the streets for their escape! This fascinating town is famous for its fashionable nightlife while still maintaining all of its typically Greek features. The islands building laws prevent modern structures from being built and strict architectural rules must be followed, hence the pastel buildings, blue domed churches, 16th century windmills, waterside cafes, and quaint fishing harbours, all painting the picture perfect scene that typifies Mykonos Town.
It's worth exploring the town by day when most people make an exodus to the beach before heading into the traffic free zone at night to get the party started. The main Mykonos Town beach lies next to the harbour while Megali Ammos Beach on the outskirts of town offers flat rocks, shingly sand and shallow waters. Holidays in Mykonos Town would not be complete without visiting 'Little Venice' to the south west end of the port, tall Venetian houses stand proudly, partly submerged in water as a result of wealthy captains building their homes at the edge of the sea here long ago. This captivating part of Mykonos is no more beautiful than at sunset when the orange and red skies sink slowly into the Aegean Sea.
The hilltop windmills and stunning Church of Paraportiani are other famous landmarks; make sure you take the time to visit them on your holidays to Mykonos Town. Shopping here is a pleasantly surprising mix of fascinating art, craft and jewellery stalls with sophisticated boutiques and designer labels.
