This includes being part of Greek, Roman, Venetian and Turkish dominions, which has fortunately furnished the island with a series of notable landmarks. These include its trademark 16<sup>th<\/sup> century windmills and the picturesque waterside of Mikri Venetia \u2013 its Little Venice.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The Beaches<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-7679\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2017\/02\/paranga-beach-istock-sjhaytov-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Visit Mykonos\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/paranga-beach-istock-sjhaytov-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/paranga-beach-istock-sjhaytov-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/paranga-beach-istock-sjhaytov-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/paranga-beach-istock-sjhaytov-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/paranga-beach-istock-sjhaytov-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/paranga-beach-istock-sjhaytov.jpg 1698w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>No visit to Mykonos could possibly be considered complete without a trip to Kalafatis beach which, though small, is perfectly formed and offers plenty of sunbathing opportunities. Most of Mykonos&#8217; typical golden-sand shores are situated on the south coast but it&#8217;s good to know that each has its own particular type of visitor. Remember, therefore, that Agrari is for peaceful swims, Korfos is perfect for sports-enthusiasts, while families tend to prefer Platis Gialos.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The Churches and Monasteries<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-7676\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2017\/02\/little-church-istock-roxanabalint-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Visit Mykonos\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/little-church-istock-roxanabalint-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/little-church-istock-roxanabalint-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/little-church-istock-roxanabalint-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/little-church-istock-roxanabalint-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/little-church-istock-roxanabalint-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/little-church-istock-roxanabalint.jpg 1698w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>One of the most photographed sites on the island, the Church of Paraportiani (meaning &#8216;wooden door&#8217;) was built in a playful jumble of styles (including Byzantine and the vernacular) and contains five smaller churches. Other intriguing sites include Ano Mera&#8217;s cloister (with its marble and water spigot), the Monastery of Paleokastro (lined with dozens of hallowed Byzantine icons) and finally Panagia Tourliani, which possesses a Florentine wood-carved chancel screen of the first order.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The Lighthouse Views<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-7675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2017\/02\/lighthouse-of-armenistis-istock-vkp-australia-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Visit Mykonos\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/lighthouse-of-armenistis-istock-vkp-australia-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/lighthouse-of-armenistis-istock-vkp-australia-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/lighthouse-of-armenistis-istock-vkp-australia-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/lighthouse-of-armenistis-istock-vkp-australia-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/lighthouse-of-armenistis-istock-vkp-australia-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/lighthouse-of-armenistis-istock-vkp-australia.jpg 1698w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Not particularly old, the Armenistis Lighthouse is included here more for the perfection of its vantage point than its own virtues.
