Itinerary

Stop 1

Your shore excursion starts with a convenient pickup right at the port. Your passionate local guide will be there to greet you. Relax in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle as you embark on an unforgettable journey.

Stop 2

See the Armenistis Lighthouse, one of Mykonos' most iconic landmarks. Perched at a scenic elevation, it offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding Aegean, including the nearby islands of Delos, Rhenia, and Tinos.

Stop 3

Explore Ano Mera, a charming Cycladic village located just a few kilometers inland from Mykonos Town, that offers a glimpse into a simpler time, preserving the authentic atmosphere of life before the island's tourism boom. Visit the Panagia Tourliani Monastery, one of Mykonos’ most important religious landmarks. Admire its marble bell tower and ornate baroque iconostasis during a non-guided interior visit, allowing time to appreciate the site’s history and peaceful atmosphere.

Stop 4

Enjoy a brief photo stop at Elia Beach, one of Mykonos' longest and most beautiful beaches.

Stop 5

Meander through the enchanting narrow streets of Mykonos Town, flanked by iconic whitewashed cube-shaped houses.

We kindly ask all participants to carefully assess their physical ability to complete the tour before making a reservation.

Stop 6

Marvel at the Mykonos Windmills - the island’s timeless symbol, reflecting its identity as the "Island of Winds." Built in the 16th century and used until the late 19th century, they showcase the locals' ingenuity in harnessing the strong winds for survival and trade, dating back to the Venetian era and beyond.

Stop 7

Explore one of Mykonos' most famous landmarks, Little Venice. The buildings here are uniquely built right at the water's edge, with balconies that hang over the sea. In the 16th and 17th centuries, when piracy was rampant, this area was likely used for the swift loading and unloading of goods, adding to its rich and storied history.

Stop 8

See the Panagia Paraportiani church - one of Greece’s most photographed architectural icons. Its exceptional style makes it one of the island’s most treasured landmarks.
