What to do in Mykonos? 7 best things to do in 2022

1. Visite Chora

A real Greek postcard! The streets of Chora are bright and colourful! On the island of Mykonos lies the eponymous town of Mykonos, otherwise known as “Chora”, the main town of the island, which is made up of narrow, charming streets by the sea. Here you will find a wide selection of hotels, bars as well as fashion/jewellery shops and much more.

It’s a pleasure to walk around day and night, as the city has banned motor vehicles, so everyone gets around the city on foot or by bike. It’s beautiful in the photos you see on many Instagram feeds: the blue and white facades of the houses stand in front of the waves that break at their feet.

The dike is separated by a narrow footbridge. Visitors and locals alike can sit on chairs on sunny days. There is no better place to be! These beautiful houses date from the 18th century. They were built by the Venetians. Their architecture is more square than the others. Alexandra was the original name of the area that is now called “Little Venice”. This is a reference to the fact that women used to wash their clothes here in the past. It’s hard to imagine what it was like back then. Enjoy the views from the bars and restaurants.
