  3. Ano Mera
    45m
    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.
  4. Mykonos Elia Beach

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