Mykonos Town

Mykonos' charming and lively capital combines the best of modern and traditional Greece.

Chora, or Mykonos Town as it's more commonly known, is the capital of Mykonos Island. It's a great base from which to explore the rest of the island, as its winding streets are home to a wide variety of accommodation options. There's lots to see in the town itself too, from the large, bustling harbour area to the traditional whitewashed buildings. Typical Greek restaurants abound, and there are plenty of boutiques to explore.During the 1970s Greece experienced a huge influx of tourists, a boom which drove the expansion of Mykonos Town. Now a sophisticated capital, its fashion outlets, trendy eateries and galleries complement its more traditional architecture and cuisine. This captivating mix of old and new have made Mykonos Town one of the most popular destinations in the Greek Islands.The harbour district is the perfect place to get a feel for this vibrant town. Grab a seat at one of the many traditional Greek tavernas, and savour a cold beer as you watch the boats bring tourists and fishermen into port. The sight of the fresh fish coming off the boats is so mouth-watering, you won't be able to resist ordering a platter of seafood. Meet some locals or fellow travellers and toast new friendships with a shot of Greece's famous anise-flavoured aperitif, ouzo.For those interested in Greek history and culture, the town centre's Folklore Museum, Maritime Museum and Archaeological Museum are not to be missed.Mykonos Town is a transport hub, and has plenty of public and private travel options for those wanting to visit the rest of Mykonos, other nearby islands or the mainland. If you come to the capital by car, your best bet for parking is the harbour district.
