As you step off your ship, a local guide will be waiting just outside the Mykonos Port gate. From there, board a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle and begin your scenic ride across the island. With no more than 18 guests per group, there’s room to relax, enjoy the changing views, and snap photos of Mykonos’ bright white buildings and shimmering blue waters.
Take a leisurely drive to the northern tip of Mykonos, where the Armenistis Lighthouse stands overlooking the sea. Pause here for a peaceful break and take in sweeping views of the Aegean, with the islands of Delos, Rhenia, and Tinos visible in the distance. It’s a calm, scenic stop—ideal for capturing a few photos and enjoying the fresh island air.
Just a short drive from Mykonos Town, the village of Ano Mera offers a peaceful look at island life before tourism took hold. With its quiet central square, family-run tavernas, and welcoming local feel, this traditional Cycladic village gives you a chance to experience the Mykonos of years past—unhurried, authentic, and full of charm.
Make a brief stop at Kalafati Beach, a quiet contrast to the island’s busier spots. With clear turquoise waters and natural shade from nearby trees, it’s a peaceful place to pause and take in the coastal beauty. You’ll have a few minutes to enjoy the view, take some photos, or simply relax in the calm surroundings.
Enjoy a gentle walk through the narrow, whitewashed streets of Mykonos Town, where bright doors, flowering bougainvillea, and classic cube-shaped homes create a scene straight out of a postcard. Once the heart of a Cycladic fishing village, the town still holds its timeless charm and rich history.
Please note: Mykonos Town is accessible only on foot. From here, your guide will lead you on a walking tour through the town’s most iconic landmarks.
The Windmills of Kato Milli are one of Mykonos’ most recognized sights—a reminder of the island’s past and its nickname, the “Island of the Winds.” Built by the Venetians in the 1500s, these whitewashed windmills once played a key role in grinding grain for trade and daily life. Set on a hill above the sea near Little Venice, they offer lovely views and are a favorite spot for photos.
Please note: This stop is optional. If traffic is unusually heavy or if walking is a concern, your guide may adjust the route accordingly.
Little Venice is one of the most scenic corners of Mykonos, where colorful 18th-century homes line the edge of the water. Once the neighborhood of fishermen and sea captains, it now offers a mix of inviting cafés, galleries, and local charm. As you stroll along the waterfront, take in the views of the Aegean Sea and the nearby windmills—an ideal spot to pause, enjoy the breeze, and appreciate the beauty of the island.
Out of the many churches scattered across Mykonos, Panagia Paraportiani is one of the most admired. Tucked into a quiet corner of Mykonos Town, this whitewashed church stands out with its unusual shape and mix of Byzantine and Cycladic design. Its soft curves, domes, and timeworn walls have made it one of the island’s most photographed landmarks—a peaceful stop that blends history with striking beauty.
