Walk through the white and blue alleys of Chora old town, the capital of Mykonos
The photograph portrays one of the characteristic alleys of Chora old town, the capital of Mykonos. The whitewashed houses feature doors, windows, and balconies painted in various shades of blue, from light blue to cobalt. The blue wooden beams protruding from facades add a distinctive architectural element. On the left, a touch of color is provided by a red facade with matching door. The typical paving, made with gray and white stone slabs arranged in geometric patterns, guides the eye along the narrow alley. A staircase leads to other levels of the urban labyrinth. The absence of cars and the narrow width of the alleys give Chora an intimate, pedestrian atmosphere, ideal for getting lost while exploring shops, bars, and picturesque views.
