8 Must-Sees by Van: Private Shore Excursion for Cruise Passengers

1. Agios Ioannis Beach
   Pass by
   Agios Ioannis Beach in Mykonos is a total gem. It’s one of those quieter, more laid-back beaches compared to the wild party spots like Paradise or Super Paradise.
2. Ornos Beach
   Pass by
   Ornos Beach, located approximately 2.5 km southwest of Mykonos Town, is a popular destination for both locals and tourists. Its calm, shallow waters and sandy shore make it particularly suitable for families with children.
3. Paraga Beach
   Pass by
   Paraga is a perfect mix of chill and party. You’ve got one side that’s all about music, cocktails, and beach clubs, and another side that’s quieter and super relaxed. It’s one of those spots where you can spend the whole day — tan, swim, eat, repeat.
4. Mykonos Elia Beach
   Pass by
   Elia Beach is one of Mykonos's largest and most picturesque beaches, located approximately 12 kilometers southeast of Mykonos Town (Chora). Renowned for its crystal-clear waters and fine golden sand, Elia offers a serene and inviting atmosphere for visitors.
5. Kalafatis
   Pass by
   Kalafatis Beach is a serene, less-developed gem on the southeastern coast of Mykonos, approximately 12 km from Mykonos Town. It's a favorite among families, windsurfing enthusiasts, and those seeking a quieter beach experience.
6. Ano Mera
   10m
   Tucked away in the heart of Mykonos, Ano Mera is a peaceful, traditional village that feels worlds apart from the island’s party scene. It’s the second-largest settlement on the island after Mykonos Town and offers a quiet, local experience that’s hard to find elsewhere on the island.
   
   Centered around a charming village square, Ano Mera is lined with whitewashed houses, family-run tavernas, bakeries, and the historic Panagia Tourliani Monastery, a 15th-century gem with impressive wood carvings and religious icons. The atmosphere is calm, welcoming, and refreshingly low-key.
   
   Unlike the beach clubs and nightlife hubs, Ano Mera gives visitors a taste of everyday Mykonian life. It’s where locals gather for coffee, afternoon chats, or a slow meal under the trees. It’s also a great base for exploring nearby beaches like Elia, Kalafatis, and Kalo Livadi, all just a short drive away.
7. Panormos
   Pass by
   Panormos is a serene beach located on the northern coast of Mykonos, approximately 7 km northeast of Mykonos Town (Chora). Nestled within a picturesque bay, this expansive sandy beach offers crystal-clear blue-green waters, making it a favored spot for both locals and visitors seeking a peaceful seaside experience.
8. Armenistis Lighthouse
   Pass by
   The Armenistis Lighthouse is a historic beacon located on the northwestern tip of Mykonos, Greece, approximately 7 km from Mykonos Town (Chora). Constructed in 1891, it stands 19 meters tall with a focal height of 184 meters, guiding vessels through the Aegean Sea.
