Chora Castle, Mykonos Overview
Located on a hill in Chora, the castle provides views of the picturesque panoramic Aegean sea and it is worth-viewing whitewashed alleys and sights. The remains of the fortress do not provide much, except it offers great views of the sea and the sunset.
Up until the 17th century, the people of Chora used to live inside the castle which had strong stone walls with 3-4 defensive turrets for maximum protection. Next to the castle's gate is the famous church of Panagia Paraportiani. The fame of Mykonos Castle lies in its historical importance and strategic location. As a fortress, it played a crucial role in safeguarding the island's residents during times of peril. Today, its fame is not only rooted in its historical significance but also in the breathtaking panoramic views it offers of the Aegean Sea and the surrounding landscapes.
