Your Mykonos adventure begins the moment you step off your cruise ship. Your professional guide will be waiting for you right at the terminal for a smooth and stress-free pick-up. From there, you can sit back and relax while you enjoy the ride. Your professional, friendly guide will share insights along the way, giving you a warm welcome to the island.
Travel in comfort aboard your air-conditioned bus as you make your way to one of Mykonos most photographed spots, the Armenistis Lighthouse. Built in the late 19th century, this historic landmark sits high above the coast, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the deep blue Aegean Sea and neighboring islands. This is the perfect place to capture postcard-worthy photos, so don’t forget your camera!
Next, you will make a short stop at Kalafatis Beach, known for its clear turquoise waters and gentle sea breeze. While there’s not enough time for a swim, it’s a wonderful chance to stretch your legs, enjoy the salty air, and take a few snapshots of this peaceful stretch of coastline.
Leaving the coast behind, you will head inland to the serene village of Ano Mera, one of the few places on the island where you can still experience an authentic, slower-paced way of life. Stroll around the charming central square lined with cafés and local shops, or visit the beautiful Panagia Tourliani Monastery. Founded in the 16th century, this monastery is admired for its ornate marble fountain, intricate wooden carvings, and impressive religious icons. You’ll have some free time here to enjoy a coffee, browse for souvenirs, or simply take in the tranquil village atmosphere.
Your amazing excursion will move to the heart of Mykonos Town, where you’ll set out on foot to explore the island’s most famous sights. Meander through the maze of narrow cobblestone streets lined with whitewashed houses accented by colorful doors and balconies overflowing with flowers. You will explore places such as the Windmills, majestic and iconic, these 16th-century windmills once milled grain for the island and now stand as a symbol of Mykonos.
From here, enjoy sweeping views over the town and harbor. Little Venice, a vibrant, romantic stretch of waterfront where colorful buildings perch right over the sea. Panagia Paraportiani Church, one of the most photographed churches in Greece! Your guide will point out hidden corners, local boutiques, and charming cafés you may want to visit before heading back to your ship.
Your incredible day concludes along the scenic Mykonos waterfront, just a short walk to the tenders and sea buses that will return you to your cruise ship.
