  The Windmills (Kato Milli)

  The iconic windmills are the most recognizable landmark of Mykonos. Perched on a hill overlooking the Aegean Sea southeast of Chora, they were built primarily in the 16th century by the Venetians to mill wheat using the island's strong winds. Though no longer operational, they are beautifully preserved and serve as one of the best spots for photographs, especially at sunset.

  Little Venice

  Little Venice is one of the most picturesque and photographed neighborhoods in Chora. It earned its name from the 18th-century captain mansions built directly on the water's edge, featuring colorful wooden balconies. Historically used by sailors and merchants, these homes have transformed into atmospheric bars, cafes, and restaurants offering front-row views of the sea and sunset.

  Church of Paraportiani

  The Church of Panagia Paraportiani is a world-renowned architectural monument located in the Kastro district of Chora. It is an extraordinary complex made up of five distinct churches fused together: four form the base (Agioi Anargyroi, Agios Sozon, Agios Vasileios, and Agia Asteia), while the fifth (Panagia) rests above them like a dome. Its name derives from its location next to the paraporti (the side gate) of the medieval castle.
