Neighborhood·Charming, Historic, Picturesque
Mykonos Old Port is the atmospheric heart of the island's capital, where history meets modern island life. This neighborhood is defined by its iconic whitewashed architecture, narrow pedestrian alleys, and a bustling harbor that still hosts local fishing boats. While larger vessels use the New Port, the Old Port remains the soul of the town, offering a perfect starting point for exploring the labyrinthine streets of Chora. Visitors can enjoy waterfront dining, browse local boutiques, or simply soak in the views of the turquoise Aegean Sea.
