You’ll want to spend as much time as possible in the fashionable and arty Chora (Mykonos Town) getting share-worthy shots of the famous windmills and pure white houses. Even the cracks between the marble paving stones are painted white here. Welcome to ThingsToDo Channel we publish new content every day, so be sure to subscribe and don't forget to ring the bell to be updated on our latest videos Here are Ten Things To Do in Mykonos. Stroll around Mykonos Windmills. The first sight that hoves into view before you pull into the harbor is this row of seven white windmills posted on a small cape. These would most likely have been built by the Venetians as long ago as the 16th century and are oriented to the north to catch the prevailing wind. Shop at Matogianni Street. North to the south street through Mykonos Town, with little alleys darting off it, Matogianni Street is where it all happens. By day you can idle along, perusing souvenir shops, boutiques, jewelry stores, and a couple of international chains like Sephora and Lacoste. Explore Delos. The island of Delos is just a couple of kilometers from the southwest coast of Mykonos and its excavations have been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. If you’re up to scratch on Olympian Greek mythology you may know Delos as the birthplace of the twin gods Apollo and Artemis. Go back in time at Delos Archaeological Museum. After 30 years of excavations, the French School of Athens needed a museum for all its discoveries on Delos, and this was inaugurated in 1904. The archaeological digs have continued for more than 145 years, and the museum had to be expanded in 1931 and 1972 to accommodate all of this material. Check out Alefkandra (Little Venice). Around the western lip of the Old Harbour is a gorgeous web of little car-free alleys. These are laid with the typical dark marble paving stones with cement coated with the same brilliant white paint as the houses. Be amazed at the Old Harbour. After catching the SeaBus from the new port at Tourlos you’ll disembark at the marble quays of the Old Harbour. On the east side are the arcades of the Town Hall dating to the 1700s, in front of which is the tiny church of Agios Nikolaos, crowned with a blue dome. Visit the Church of Panagia Paraportiani. Just north of Little Venice, in the Kastro neighborhood is the fascinating Church of Panagia Paraportiani. This monument was built between the 15th and 17th centuries and comprises four separate, interconnected churches beneath a fifth built on top. That highest church is dedicated to the Virgin Mary (Panagia) and is easy to pick out for its dome. Catch some Sun at Agios Sostis Beach. If you’re craving some space to yourself, make for the beaches in the less frequented north of Mykonos, which is scattered with natural parks. Agios Sostis has no beachfront bars, restaurants, or sunbeds and is all the better for it: The beach is noticeably quieter than those in the south, and behind is not much more than gently sloping hills sparsely dusted with scrub. Head north and there’s a small village with a taverna and church, and another much smaller cove bathed by shallow, glimmering water. A relaxing day at Kalafatis Beach. Two beaches over from Kalo Livadi, Kalafatis is another alluring sandy bay with an arc of golden sand and shallow, clear waters. What sets this beach apart is that it is oriented to the east, and not far offshore there are generous breezes. So while you recline on your sun lounger you’ll see windsurfing sails zipping across the horizon. Joining them in summer are some snazzy-looking yachts anchored in the bay. Kalafatis also has a watersports center for motorized activities like wakeboarding, waterskiing, and jet-skiing. See The Armenistis Lighthouse. Six kilometers north of Chora is a working lighthouse guiding traffic along the strait between Mykonos and neighboring Tinos. Positioned far above the water, this edifice was completed with an octagonal tower in 1891 and flashes a white signal every ten seconds. It was raised in response to a disaster in which the Volta steamship sank off the north coast of Mykonos in 1887, at the cost of 11 lives. If you’d like to see the original Fresnel lens, it has ended up at the Mykonos Maritime Museum. Although you can’t go inside, the lighthouse is a trip worth making for the awesome scenery.
