What to expect

Mykonos Port

Your small-group shore adventure starts with an easy pickup right at the Mykonos Port gate. A warm and welcoming local driver-guide will be there to meet you, and you’ll hop aboard a modern, air-conditioned minibus (holding up to 18 passengers). Your journey begins with a scenic drive that highlights the island’s breathtaking natural beauty. (Please red the disclaimer, the tour may begin with either the walking or panoramic driving portion depending on traffic, port conditions, weather, or local events)
Armenistis Lighthouse
30m

Take in a picturesque drive to Armenistis Lighthouse, located on the northern edge of Mykonos. As you travel, your guide will pause at select viewpoints so you can admire the sweeping scenery and snap photos of the Aegean coastline. Once at the lighthouse, you'll enjoy breathtaking vistas of Delos, Rhenia, and Tinos — an ideal spot for unforgettable photos.
Ano Mera

Tucked away in the heart of the island, Ano Mera is a picturesque Cycladic village that provides a serene escape from Mykonos’ bustling beach scene. Featuring classic whitewashed architecture, a historic monastery, and cozy local tavernas, it’s one of the rare spots where you can truly connect with the island’s traditional charm and heritage.
15m

Enjoy a stop at one of Mykonos’ beautiful southern beaches. You will be taken to either Kalafati Beach or Elia Beach, dependent on traffic conditions and crowd levels in Mykonos on the day of the tour.
Mykonos Town
30m

The second part of your tour begins upon arrival in Mykonos Town, where a knowledgeable local guide will accompany you on a leisurely walking tour through its charming, whitewashed streets and famous landmarks. Wander through narrow lanes lined with traditional cube-shaped homes, vibrant doors, and blooming bougainvillea, all creating a picture-perfect atmosphere. As you explore on foot, you'll discover the enduring beauty and heritage of this former Cycladic fishing village.

Please note that Mykonos Town is pedestrian-only, so we kindly ask all guests to consider their walking ability before booking.
The Windmills (Kato Milli)
15m

The iconic 16th-century windmills, set along the shoreline, are among the most recognizable landmarks of Mykonos. Originally built by the Venetians, they once played a key role in the island’s grain production and commerce.
PLEASE NOTE: This stop is optional and may be omitted depending on mobility limitations or crowded conditions.
Little Venice
30m

Take a leisurely walk through Little Venice, a charming waterfront neighborhood known for its vibrant 18th-century houses now hosting lively cafés and boutique shops. With stunning views of the sea and the nearby windmills, this picture-perfect spot is ideal for capturing photos and soaking up the unique character of the island.
30m

Marvel at one of the most iconic and photographed churches in Greece, celebrated for its unique asymmetrical shape and striking blend of Cycladic and Byzantine architectural styles.
