About Ano Mera

Ano Mera, 7–8 km inland from Chora, is Mykonos's second-largest settlement and its most genuinely Greek place, built around a true village square of tavernas and shops rather than beach clubs. At its heart stands the Panagia Tourliani monastery, founded in 1542, with an ornate Baroque gilded-wood altarpiece, decorated bell tower and marble fountain. Life here runs year-round, and property is the most affordable on Mykonos (~€5,000–€7,000/m²), often on larger inland plots, drawing buyers seeking authenticity and value over coastal glamour. With the Golden-Visa short-term-let ban, Ano Mera's viable long-let market and permanent community make it one of the island's more pragmatic places to actually live.
