Panagia Paraportiani - five churches in one

Per Nørgaard

If you walk from the marina in Mykonos town, where the ferry to Delos is located, and south along the sea, you will pass the famous JackieO' Town Bar. On the seafront close to the Folkemuseet you will see the famous asymmetrical church Panagia Paraportiani which is actually five churches in one. The oldest part dates from 1425. The church was built exactly where there was a gate to the medieval fortress from the seashore, and directly translated Panagia Paraportiani means something like the Virgin of the Side Gate. Here the tourists stop and take selfies and pictures of each other with the chalk-white church in the background.
