Traditional settlements: the traditional settlements of the island are located in Chora and Ano Mera.
Traditional architecture
The settlement of Chora, the capital of Mykonos, is flat and differs from the amphitheatrically built hilltop capitals of the rest of the Cyclades. Although in recent years it has been burdened by intense building activity, it continues to maintain several traditional elements. The two-storey narrow-fronted and wide-fronted houses, with the separate stone-built staircase leading to the upper (first floor), wooden balconies and narrow cobbled streets constitute the main traditional architectural type. The houses are divided into two areas: that of the women's work (loom) and the bedroom. The spaces of the upper floor also communicate with the lower floor with a wooden staircase and a hatch.
Throughout the island there were scattered agricultural settlements, some of which in the 19th century formed Ano Mera, where the main residence is surrounded by auxiliary spaces (barn, storehouse, oven, cells-stables, buidokeli (stable for oxen) , a dovecote, a wine press, a threshing floor, and even a family church!..Finally, a special mention must be made of the church of Panagia Tourliani, founded in 1542 and featuring an impressive bell tower and a museum with a wood-carved iconostasis, epitaph, church relics, icons and works of folk Sculpture
Events
