Overview

Hora (also known as Mykonos), the island’s well-preserved port and capital, is a warren of narrow lanes and whitewashed buildings overlooked by the town’s famous windmills. In the heart of the medieval maze – which was intentionally designed to be confusing so as to baffle raiders – tiny flower-bedecked churches jostle with glossy boutiques, and there’s a cascade of bougainvillea around every corner.
