What is considered Mykonos town?

Mykonos Town – or Chora – is the capital and largest town on the island. It's a maze of streets filled with cafes, restaurants, tavernas, souvenir shops, boutiques, and jewelry shops. The center of town is closed to traffic most of the day – many lanes are too narrow to accommodate scooters and bicycles anyway.
