6. Little Venice

   Taking your leave from Mykonos Town last but not least visiting, is the spirit of Mykonos quite like Little Venice.

7. Church of Paraportiani

   There are churches, and then there is Paraportiani. Rising like a white sculpture from the edge of the old castle, this extraordinary monument defies architectural convention. Formed by five interconnected chapels built over centuries, its organic curves and irregular geometry have made it one of the world’s most iconic religious buildings. More than a place of worship, Paraportiani is a symbol of Mykonos itself—a masterpiece shaped by history, faith, light, and the unmistakable spirit of the Aegean. Here, architecture becomes art.

8. Manto Mavrogenous Square

   Every island has its heroes, and Mykonos proudly remembers one of Greece’s greatest. In the heart of Chora stands the statue of Manto Mavrogenous—a noblewoman who sacrificed her wealth, comfort, and future in support of Greece’s struggle for independence. More than a monument, this square is a reminder that the history of Mykonos was shaped not only by merchants and sailors, but also by a fearless woman whose vision and courage echoed far beyond the shores of the Aegean. Here, beneath the gaze of Manto Mavrogenous, Mykonos reminds us that its greatest treasure is not only its beauty, but also the remarkable people who shaped its history.
