All Houses in Mykonos Are White


Arriving at the port of Mykonos, we were struck by the whiteness of the city. When we asked our hotel owner about it, he said that this was due to a decree from a queen in the 1940s ordering that all buildings on the island must be white. (Disclaimer: we did not verify the historical accuracy of this statement.)
