Renown for its legendary nightlife, Mykonos is the party capital of the Cyclades Islands. Mykonos Town is a maze of narrow white alleys, which you can expect to get lost in as they were built with the intention of confusing the pirates. One of the most picturesque areas of the town is Little Venice, with its Venetian-style houses and pretty balconies. Near Little Venice is the Panagia Paraportiani, a beautiful church dating back to 1425. After dark Mykonos Town comes alive with music bars, blaring discos and pulsating nightclubs.
