About this audio guide
This guide to the Palaiokastro convent on Mykonos begins with a tiny community of nuns in the eighteenth century, sheltered among the trees below a hill of ruined fortifications. You'll meet the Byzantine and Venetian builders of the old castle, and a threat that arrived in the reign of King Otto. Best heard on the grounds, near the old church and its dovecote.
