Panagia Paraportiani

The name of this Greek orthodox church translates to "Our Lady of the Side Gate" since its entrance is located at the side gate of the entrance to the Kastro neighbourhood. The church is made up of five whitewashed chapels across two floors that once guarded the entrance to the town’s castle. Construction began in the 14th centry and was completed in the 17th century. Now it's considered one of the island's icons and a must-visit spot.

Beaches

If beach parties are what you're after, Mykonos will not disappoint. Check out the famous Paradise Beach and/or Super Paradise Beach for some of the hottest waterfront bars and clubs that never sleep (dancing is often in full swing in broad daylight). For a more relaxed, quieter experience, head to Elia, Platis Gialos, Ornos, Panormos, Paranga, or Agios Sostis Beaches–the latter is a true hidden gem tucked away far from the frenzied crowd in the island's north.
