Description
The Church of Panagia Paraportiani in the town of Chora, on the Greek island of Mykonos. The building of this church started in 1425 and was not completed until the 17th century. This impressive, whitewashed church actually consists of five separate churches attached all together: the four churches (dedicated to Saint Eustathios, Saint Sozon, Saints Anargyroi and Saint Anastasia) are all on the ground and constitute the base of the fifth church that has been built on top of them. This what gives to this church its unique shape and makes it one of the most photographed churches in Greece.The Church of Panagia Paraportiani is also described as the wedding cake church.
