1. Old Town of Mykonos

We have all seen the photos of the wonderful, whitewashed buildings of the Old Mykonos’ town, with the deep blue doors, the striking, fuchsia Bougainvillea blossoms and the nostalgic, pebbled alleys and have probably, endlessly drooled over them! Yes, when thinking about the best luxury parties, Mykonos may very well be the first word that pops up in your mind, however there’s a certain magic about this more traditional side of the island. It can definitely serve as a perfect backdrop for your beautiful photos, but it also gives you the chance to explore and travel back in time… Cycladic architecture dominates the town and the memories you’ll make will be amazing. Plus, you’ll get to keep them in your photo-album forever and reminisce. Definitely a Win-Win situation! Pro tip: Try to head there during the early hours, because later the place can get really crowded.

2. The Churches

Most, if not all, of the churches of Mykonos have been built with the classic, Cycladic architecture. Visiting some of them would certainly be a very spiritual experience, while you could also take the most wonderful photos! Their bright white color reflects the light in such a majestic way. A moment you’d really want to keep forever! Some of the very well-known ones and absolutely beautiful are the churches of Panagia Paraportiani, in the Chora town (mainland), the Panachra Church with the beautiful flags and the Agios Nikolaos Church on the harbor of Mykonos. Make sure to be respectful when visiting and especially when photographing, since these are sacred grounds! You should also try going for the early hours once again, to catch the perfect lighting and avoid the crowds.

3. The Windmills

Leave the best luxury parties in Mykonos behind for a little while and opt for a much more peaceful scene, where you will also be able to take the most amazing, instagrammable shots ever! The island has a total of 16, beautiful windmills that where once used to will wheat. Today however, they have become a poll of attraction for the people of Mykonos, as well as for tourists from all over the world. If you visit the Kato Mili on Mykonos’ mainland, you’ll find the Five Windmills as they’re called, which truly is one of the best places to take some dreamy photos that will last forever! This location will also serve for wonderful sunset gazing and for listening to the waves crash, giving you the most serene moment. A memorable experience awaits you…
