Stop 1

Our experienced driver-guide will share everything you need to know about the iconic Armenistis Lighthouse, one of Mykonos’ most breathtaking landmarks. Built in 1891, the lighthouse stands at an altitude of 184 meters and offers panoramic views of the Aegean Sea. During the tour, you'll learn about its maritime history, its role in 19th-century navigation, and the traditional mechanism that powered it for decades. You'll also hear fascinating stories about the lighthouse keepers and the legends that surround this historic site. To top it all off, you'll witness one of the most stunning sea views in Mykonos, perfect for breathtaking photos.

Next, we’ll take you to the stunning Ftelia Beach, known not only for its golden sand and crystal-clear waters, but also for its rich historical background. Located on the northern coast of Mykonos, Ftelia is a peaceful, wind-swept haven that attracts windsurfers and tranquility seekers alike. But beyond its natural beauty lies an important archaeological site—an ancient Neolithic settlement dating back to around 4500 BC. Believed to be linked to the prehistoric city of Paleokastro, this site offers a fascinating glimpse into Mykonos’ distant past. Our guide will share stories about the excavations and findings. Whether you're a history lover or a beach enthusiast, Ftelia combines both worlds in one unforgettable stop.

Our next stop is the charming village of Ano Mera, one of the oldest and most traditional settlements in Mykonos. Far from the island’s busy beaches and nightlife, Ano Mera offers a peaceful escape and a true taste of local life. At its heart lies the historic Monastery of Panagia Tourliani, founded in 1542 and later restored in the 18th century. With its ornate iconostasis, detailed woodwork, and serene courtyard, it stands as a beautiful example of Cycladic religious architecture. After exploring the monastery, guests will have the opportunity to enjoy a traditional Mykonian lunch featuring local products and delicacies. Taste authentic flavors like kopanisti cheese, louza (Mykonian cured pork), and other regional specialties in a cozy setting that celebrates the island’s culinary heritage.

Then, we’ll take you off the beaten path to a secret spot—the highest point of Mykonos—accessible only thanks to our 4x4 vehicle. This hidden gem is rarely visited by tourists and offers breathtaking panoramic views over the entire island and the surrounding Aegean Sea. The journey itself is part of the experience, as we drive through winding rural roads and untouched landscapes. Once at the top, you'll feel the reward of reaching a truly special place where you can take in the full beauty and serenity of Mykonos from above. It's the perfect moment for photos, quiet reflection, or simply enjoying nature at its purest.

5

Our next stop is the beautiful Fokos Beach, one of Mykonos' hidden treasures. This tranquil, unspoiled beach offers a peaceful escape, far from the island's more crowded spots. The journey to Fokos is just as stunning, as we’ll pass through wild landscapes and picturesque fields, where you might spot various local animals such as sheep and goats. The area is dotted with charming farms and beautiful, untouched terrain, giving you a real sense of the island’s natural beauty. Once at the beach, you’ll be able to relax on the golden sands, swim in the crystal-clear waters, or simply enjoy the calm and serene atmosphere. Fokos is the perfect place to unwind, surrounded by the peaceful Mykonian countryside.

6

Our final stop takes us to the beautiful beach of Kalafatis, one of Mykonos’ most iconic coastal gems. Known for its crystal-clear turquoise waters and wide, sandy shoreline, Kalafatis is ideal for both relaxation and water sports. This beach offers a more peaceful, authentic experience compared to the island’s more crowded spots. Just steps away lies Agia Anna, a small, serene beach that feels almost like an extension of Kalafatis. Together, they create a stunning coastal setting perfect for swimming, sunbathing, or simply enjoying the natural beauty of the area. Here, you'll also spot traditional Greek fishing boats—kaikia—anchored nearby, offering a charming glimpse into local maritime life. It’s the perfect way to wind down your adventure before heading back.
