Orientation and Insights into Old Mykonos
As you walk, you’ll quickly understand why Mykonos Town is called a labyrinth. Its winding streets were intentionally designed centuries ago to confuse invaders and protect the locals. Today, these same alleyways invite visitors to wander, explore, and get lost in its timeless beauty.
Your guide will orient you, highlighting hidden gems and providing context for the sights you encounter — from quaint cafés and family‑owned boutiques to historic landmarks. At every turn, you’ll gain new insights into the local culture, traditions, and stories that shaped the identity of Mykonos.
The Small Port and Its Charm
As you stroll closer to the waterfront, you’ll arrive at the old port of Mykonos, a serene and captivating area that once served as the beating heart of the island’s commerce. Here, you’ll witness colorful fishing boats gently bobbing in the harbor, cafés and restaurants lined along the promenade, and charming buildings that tell the story of Mykonos’ maritime heritage.
With its laid‑back vibe and scenic beauty, this area is ideal for capturing memorable photographs or simply enjoying a quiet moment by the sea.
The Iconic Paraportiani Church
No visit to Mykonos Town is complete without a stop at one of its most iconic landmarks — the Paraportiani Church. This unique, asymmetrical structure is one of the most photographed churches in Greece, if not the world. Its brilliant white façade and timeless beauty are a testament to the island’s deep spiritual roots.
With your expert guide from TPO.Travel, you’ll learn about the church’s fascinating history, its distinctive architecture, and why it has become a symbol of the island’s heritage.
Matoyianni Street – The Heart of Shopping and Culture
Your journey continues along Matoyianni Street, Mykonos’ bustling main thoroughfare. This picturesque lane is lined with fashion boutiques, artisanal jewelry stores, local cafés, and colorful flower‑draped buildings. It’s an ideal spot for those seeking a unique gift, a piece of handcrafted jewelry, or simply a taste of local life.
With your guide’s expert recommendations, you’ll gain insider knowledge of the best spots to shop, dine, and soak in the charm of Mykonos. From traditional Greek souvenirs to upscale designer boutiques, Matoyianni Street offers something for every taste.
The Little Venice and Its Romantic Allure
A short walk from Matoyianni Street is one of the most picturesque neighborhoods in Greece — Little Venice. Here, colorful houses and tavernas perch precariously along the edge of the Aegean Sea, making for one of the best spots to watch the famous Mykonos sunset.
As you stroll along the waterfront with your TPO.Travel guide, you’ll understand why Little Venice has inspired countless artists and travelers throughout history. It’s a spot that captures the island’s beauty, romance, and vibrancy in a single glance.
The Mykonos Windmills: A Timeless Landmark
Towering above Little Venice are the Mykonos Windmills — another iconic symbol of the island. Once used to grind grain in centuries past, these windmills now stand as a reminder of Mykonos’ rich heritage and its role in the economic life of the Cyclades.
With your guide, you’ll explore the area, learning about its fascinating past and enjoying panoramic views of the town, harbor, and surrounding seas. The windmills are a must‑visit spot for photographs and moments of reflection, making your private walking tour truly memorable.
