Greece: Mykonos is a Treasure
scott, February 3rd, 2012 
Mykonos is the classic Greek-island stop and, along with Santorini, it’s the most touristy. But being on Mykonos recently reminded me how enduringly charming the Greek islands are — even when they’re extremely crowded.
Mykonos’ port, Chora, is a humble seafront village crouched behind a sandy harbor, thickly layered with blinding-white stucco, bright-blue trim and bursting-purple bougainvilleas. Thank goodness for all that color, since otherwise this island — one of Greece’s driest — would be various shades of dull brown. On a ridge over town stretches a trademark row of five windmills, overlooking a tidy embankment so pretty they call it “Little Venice.”
The Aegean Sea, the wind, the birds and the weather-beaten little whitewashed churches all combine to give the town a vibrant allure. Everyone gathers in the cafes and pubs to nurse an ouzo or other drink, and to watch the sun set to the rhythm of the sloppy, slamming waves.
