About this experience
For the nature & outdoor activities loving visitors of Mykonos, as well as the motivated, exercise-driven guests, we offer a circular 6,2km guided hiking tour at the unspoiled northern part of the island. The intriguing part of this tour is that we walk through donkey paths, having therefore the chance to witness the authentic landscapes of the island.
Our pet-friendly and family-friendly walking tour is designed with the part-time hikers in mind, for whom the priority lies in both enjoying the hike, as well as the breath-taking views at a relaxed pace, the photo shooting, the swimming and the storytelling.
Whilst the focus is on walking and discovering the hidden gems of Mykonos, there is ample time to swim or sunbathe at Merchia beach, have a small picnic with homemade lemonade and traditional dessert and appreciate the local knowledge shared by the walking guides.
At the end of the hike you can even soak up the ambience and hospitality at the historic vineyard Mykonos Vioma
