Overview

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