    Church of Paraportiani

    The Church of Panagia Paraportiani is a true architectural gem and one of the most famous churches in Greece. Located in the Kastro area of Mykonos Town, it is actually a complex of five small churches built between the 15th and 17th centuries. The irregular whitewashed structure, with its smooth, flowing lines, exemplifies Cycladic architecture at its finest. Its name means “Our Lady of the Side Gate,” as it was built next to the entrance of the old castle. This is one of the most photographed landmarks on the island.
