The narrow passageways of Mykonos are a twisted maze of whitewashed houses, miniature churches, lazy windmills, and tiny cafes serving up Greek specialties. Sample the freshest squid or lobster just snatched from the blue Aegean Sea, or shop for typical flokati rugs.
Walk through the narrow streets to the right of the pier to see the 4 windmills and the townhouses on the water with balconies over the water.

This is really what I imagined Greece would be like before we went. Blue water, white buildings, and good food. We are at a place off the beaten path but in the main town area and sat with our feet hanging over the sea. We enjoyed shopping - check out the Olive Tree shop, where they have great wood carvings. Buy a Greek “eye”. Just enjoy your time!
We did not do an excursion on this port and we do not regret it. Mykonos has a large but walkable port town full of countless stores, tavernas, cafes, and even a museum here and there. There's also a small public beach right in the center of the port. Had we spent the day on a beach excursion or similar, we would have missed some great time in the town. Definitely check out the windmills.

Don't go to the ship-promoted beaches. Take a local shuttle or taxi (20 euros) to Paradise beach. It's 15 minutes away and has bars/restaurants and all amenities.
