One of the oldest churches on the island, built on a cliff and offers an amazing view close to little Venice!
The Church of Panagia Paraportiani is situated in the neighborhood of Kastro, in the town of Chora. Its name literally means "Our Lady of the Side Gate" in Greek, as its entrance was found in the side gate of the entrance to the Kastro area. Construction of this church started in 1425 and was not completed until the 17th century. This impressive, whitewashed church actually consists of five separate churches which are joined: the four churches (dedicated to Saint Eustathios, Saint Sozon, Saints Anargyroi and Saint Anastasia) are at ground level and constitute the base of the fifth church that has been built above them.

Like other places in Mykonos, you will find it in many photos depicting the Cycladic island. It owes its name to the side door, ie the small entrance to the castle, while its miraculous image (over 300 years old), according to tradition, was fished by a sailor in Saio! The whitewashed building, which attracts the eyes of all passers-by in the Castle district, is in fact a complex of five small churches, divided into two levels. Created by anonymous craftsmen, it stands out for its simple form, dazzling whiteness and its Cycladic plasticity!
