Mykonian architecture is simply iconic in its elegance, featuring whitewashed stone buildings with flat and domed roofs and painted wooden doors and windows. This makes for extraordinary views from afar and a uniquely Cycladic ambience walking through the streets.
The History
Mykonos is an island that has witnessed millennia of diverse influences, including ancient Egyptian, Venetian in the 13th century and Turkish in the 16th century. Much more recently, it was a favored spot for artists and hippies during the 1960s. With its culturally rich background, there’s plenty to see for history buffs, from the ruins of the ancient sacred island of Delos just a boat ride away to the 400 uniquely beautiful Mykonian churches and monasteries.

Mykonos draws a fashionable crowd, so it makes sense that the shopping is equally fabulous, from celebrity-frequented luxury boutiques to jewelry shops specializing in ancient and Byzantine replicas to highly sought after house-designed leather sandals and hand-woven textiles.
