Virgin of St. Rosary

Mykonos lies 95 nautical miles from the port of Piraeus. It has only about 10000 inhabitants. During the warm months thousands of tourists spend their holidays on the island.

For the spiritual benefit of the thousands of Catholic tourists and the few Catholic inhabitants of the island, there is in Mykonos only one Catholic Church which is situated in Alefcandra Square near the picturesque windmills of Mykonos. It is worth mentioning that in the visitors book of the church, for 1997, 12156 visitors wrote their names.

The Catholic Church of Mykonos has been dedicated   to the Virgin of St. Rosary since 1668 . In 1677 the archiepiscopal delegate Leonardo Xanthakis as witnessed restored the church by the inscription in Latin, which is situated above the central entrance.
