Take in the Armenistis Lighthouse, one of Mykonos’ most recognizable landmarks. Set high on a scenic vantage point, it provides sweeping views over the Aegean Sea, including nearby islands such as Delos, Rhenia, and Tinos.

Discover Ano Mera, a picturesque Cycladic village situated only a short distance inland from Mykonos Town. It offers a look into a quieter past, preserving the island’s traditional character from before the rise of mass tourism. Visit the Panagia Tourliani Monastery, one of Mykonos’ key religious sites. Take in its elegant marble bell tower and richly decorated Baroque iconostasis during a self-guided visit inside, giving you time to appreciate its history and serene ambiance.

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

Wander through the captivating maze of narrow streets in Mykonos Town, lined with its signature whitewashed, cube-shaped houses.

We kindly ask all guests to consider their physical condition before booking to ensure they are able to comfortably complete the tour.

Admire the iconic Mykonos Windmills, a lasting symbol of the island and its reputation as the “Island of Winds.” Dating back to the 16th century and used until the late 1800s, they reflect the ingenuity of local residents who harnessed strong winds for everyday life and commerce, with origins rooted in the Venetian period and earlier times.

Discover Little Venice, one of Mykonos’ most iconic and picturesque areas. Here, the buildings are built directly along the water, with balconies extending out over the sea. During the 16th and 17th centuries, when piracy was widespread, this district was likely used for the quick loading and unloading of goods, contributing to its fascinating and layered history.

Visit the Panagia Paraportiani Church, one of the most photographed architectural landmarks in Greece. Its distinctive design makes it one of Mykonos’ most valued and recognizable sites.
