Itinerary

  1. Your small-group shore excursion begins with convenient pickup at the Mykonos Port gate. You’ll be greeted by a friendly local driver-guide and board a modern, air-conditioned minibus (max. 18 passengers) for the first part of your journey — a panoramic drive showcasing the island’s natural beauty. (15 min)
  2. Enjoy a scenic drive toward Armenistis Lighthouse, perched on the northern tip of Mykonos. Along the way, your guide will make brief photo stops to let you soak in the stunning views and capture the Aegean landscape. At the lighthouse, take in panoramic views of Delos, Rhenia, and Tinos — a perfect photo opportunity. (30 min)
  3. Nestled inland, Ano Mera is a charming Cycladic village offering a peaceful contrast to the island’s lively beaches. With traditional architecture, a local monastery, and quaint tavernas, it's one of the few places where you can still experience the authentic spirit of old Mykonos. (30 min)
  4. Stop for a moment at Kalafati Beach — a more tranquil alternative to Mykonos’ popular shorelines. With crystal-clear turquoise waters and peaceful surroundings, it’s a great spot to snap photos or enjoy a quiet breath of sea air. (15 min)
  5. The second part of your tour begins as you arrive in Mykonos Town, where a dedicated professional guide will join you for a relaxed walking tour through the town’s whitewashed streets and iconic landmarks. Stroll through the streets of Mykonos Town, where traditional cube-shaped houses, colorful doors, and blooming bougainvillea create a postcard-perfect setting. As you explore on foot, you'll experience the charm of this former Cycladic fishing village, still echoing its rich history and timeless beauty. Please note that Mykonos Town is accessible only on foot. We kindly ask all participants to carefully assess their physical ability to complete the tour before making a reservation. (30 min)
  6. These iconic 16th-century windmills, perched near the sea, are one of Mykonos’ most famous sights. Built by the Venetians, they were once vital to the island’s grain production and trade. PLEASE NOTE: This stop is optional and may be skipped due to mobility concerns or heavy foot traffic. (15 min)
  7. Stroll through Little Venice, a waterfront district lined with colorful 18th-century houses, now home to lively cafés and shops. This postcard-perfect area offers beautiful views of the sea and nearby windmills — ideal for photos and a touch of island charm. (30 min)
  8. Admire one of Greece’s most photographed churches, famous for its asymmetrical whitewashed design and blend of Cycladic and Byzantine architecture. Located near the entrance to the old town, it’s a must-see landmark rich in history and visual appeal. (30 min)
