Along the whitewashed streets stand brilliant white box-shaped houses with stepped walls for sitting on, wooden doors and windows and brightly-colored balconies. These are interspersed with small and impressive churches, pretty little tavernas and shops selling souvenirs and other goods, and the overall sense is of being inside a film set. On the low Kastro hill is the complex of churches known collectively as Our Lady , a superb arrangement of whitewashed masses created over the centuries and now recognized as a national cultural monument.
Of particular historical and aesthetic interest are the medieval houses in this district of the town, which stand like a wall above the sea protecting the west side of Hora. The Archaeological Museum of Hora contains finds from
tombs on the nearby island of Rhenia, sculptures, vases and figurines.
The Folklore Museum brings together a number of collections of
furniture, icons, pieces of sculpture and folk musical instruments.
Mykonos is also the home of the Nautical Museum of the Aegean, which
has an interest all of its own.
Mykonos is a busy island with all the amenities of a modern resort and with plenty to do - by day or night - for those who want to have a lively time. Yet visitors fond of more peaceful holidays will still find quiet corners in which to relax. Most
visitors to Mykonos spend their day at one of the superb beaches.
