Mykonos, the island’s eponymous main town, lies on the western coast. As is traditional in Greece, it is called Chora, the Greek word for “town,” to distinguish it from the island. Here, undulating streets are lined with quintessentially Aegean architecture. Gleaming, white flat-roofed buildings boast brightly painted doors and shutters. Blue, red and green balconies overflow with fragrant fuchsia bougainvillea. The serpentine pathways lead to charming squares lined with cozy cafés and terraced restaurants, and lead back to the harbor, where colorful fishing boats bob alongside sleek yachts in tranquil turquoise water.
