MYKONOS, GREECE
WHITEWASHED MYKONOS ARCHITECTURE
Mykonos, Greece’s coastal setting is highlighted through the picturesque Old Port, where wooden fishing boats dock alongside stone quays facing the Aegean Sea. The island’s distinct Cycladic design defines its main town, displaying signature whitewashed walls, vibrant blue window shutters, and steep stone steps decorated with potted flowers and overhanging bougainvillea vines. Century-old seafaring history is marked by the iconic whitewashed windmills, with traditional thatched roofs, standing high on the hillsides, overlooking the Aegean coast. Daily life unfolds in the main town through maze-like narrow, sun-drenched pedestrian alleyways.
