Grand Tour of Mykonos
Experience historical attractions and modern highlights like Ornos Beach, Ano Mera Square, and more when you book this scenic grand tour of Mykonos.
Discover the true spirit of Mykonos on this enriching combo tour that blends history, culture, and tradition. Begin your day in the heart of the medieval town, known locally as Chora, where the island's cosmopolitan flair meets its deeply rooted traditions. While Mykonos is famed for its vibrant lifestyle and international appeal, this tour offers a deeper look into its heritage, guiding you through charming, lesser-known corners often missed by the typical visitor. Starting at 9:00 AM with pickup from the cruise ship port, your guided walking tour begins at the historic old port. As you explore the narrow alleys and hidden gems of Chora, your guide will share fascinating stories and insights into the town's rich past. At approximately 10:45 AM, the experience continues with a scenic drive through Agios Ioannis and Ornos, leading to the tranquil village of Ano Mera. Here, you'll enjoy a leisurely stroll through the charming village square and visit the beautiful 16th-century Panagia Tourliani Monastery, a stunning example of traditional Cycladic architecture. A short walk from the square brings you to a local Mykonian farm. The farm superintendent will guide you through the grounds, offering insight into island life through organic farming practices and local livestock traditions. Next, you'll visit some of Mykonos' most serene and distant beaches - Kalo Livadi, Kalafati, and Agia Anna - perfect for capturing memorable photos. The tour concludes with a return to the Mykonian Farm, where you'll enjoy a delicious traditional lunch. Savor fresh, local ingredients such as homemade bread, ripe tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, black olives, and the island's famous kopanisti cheese - a truly authentic taste of Mykonos' culinary heritage. This tour offers a unique opportunity to explore the hidden, authentic side of Mykonos - all in one unforgettable day.
