10Cycladic White Houses
Mykonos Island
The whitewashed homes found across Mykonos, Paros, Naxos, and other Cycladic islands are among Greece’s most recognizable sights. Their cubic design, blue doors, blue shutters, and flower-filled courtyards create a simple yet timeless beauty. The bright white walls were traditionally used to reflect the strong summer sun and keep interiors cool.
Worth visiting nearby: Little Venice in Mykonos, Naoussa in Paros, Chora of Naxos, and the picturesque villages of Amorgos.
