Like every girl I love to shop and Mykonos definately didn't disappoint. On my final night there I decided to hit the streets and make a few purchases before leaving for Santorini the next day.
Now for those who are familiar with the island, its soul is hidden in the corner of Chora, which is away from all the tourist attractions. To find the true Mykonos you really need to seek it and I found that this was best done at night where the temperature was cooler and the atmosphere was like no other.
The 'marketplace' of Mykonos is simply mesmerising. The whitewashed fasades of the traditional buildings really make their contents pop as you wonder through the streets.
I fell in love with the curved walls of the interiors - I honesty didn't think that they would be maintained to that extent. I also was surprised to learn that just before spring, each of the shops are washed and all the windows and doors are repainted to maintain the iconic appearance of Mykonos.
