In contrast to other Cycladic capitals, the capital town Chora (Hóra) is not built in the shape of an amphitheatre but instead spreads out over a wide area. It is one of the best examples of Cycladic architecture; stroll around its narrow marble streets and admire whitewashed houses with colourful doors and window frames, bougainvillaea trees in purple bloom and hidden churches. One of the most photographed locations are the famous windmills, once used to mill wheat, some of them are now museums, and others are housing their residents.

End your day with a romantic dinner with stunning sunsets in Little Venice. One of the most charming neighbourhoods in Mykonos, with houses built above the waves on the edge of the water and ravishing Venetian wooden balconies overhanging the sea.

Set into the rock 300 metres above Elia beach, the intimate hotel Myconian Utopia Relais & Châteaux lives up to its name as the quintessence of sophisticated hospitality and sheer natural beauty, designed for true connoisseurs of Mykonos. In addition to seducing with the highest standard of luxury and service excellence, the hotel combines the natural beauty of its location with modern opulence. A ‘green conscience’ underpins the structural use of locally quarried, hand-cut stone and sustainable materials, achieving a harmonious counterpoint to the iconic design pieces and customised furnishings of ultra-glamorous interiors.
