Staying in Mykonos Town (Chora)
Your exact address matters in Chora. A room near Fabrika puts beach buses close by, while the northern waterfront suits walks toward the old port. Between them, steps and narrow lanes can make wheeled luggage awkward. Ask your accommodation for a meeting point on a road, then save the walking route before you arrive.
