Full description

Discover a more authentic side to Mykonos on a unique half-day island tour. Head to the port of St. Ioannis to see the church and cell where the saint lived. Then, get a stunning view of the airport before going to the village of Ano Mera. Pass local farms to get a glimpse at island life. Learn more about the folk traditions on a guided tour of the Mykonian Spiti farm, where you will be invited to take part in traditional farming activities and can meet some of the animals. Explore the chambers of the Panagia Tourliani monastery in the village square, and join the locals at the open-air market. Enjoy a light lunch before leaving Ano Mera to discover hidden beaches, such as Kalo Livadi, Kalafati and Agia Anna. See some of the abandoned mines where lignite was extracted from the soil. Stroll the narrow streets of Maou, where a dam was constructed to meet the island's irrigation needs. Take a souvenir photo of Mykonos town from a popular spot before the end of the tour services.

We were the only people booked so it was like a private tour. Margarita was a super guide, very friendly and chatty and took us to many great places including beaches, a monastery and a small holding where we sampled some local food. We learned a lot about Mykonos and thoroughly enjoyed this experience. Thank you.

Amazing tour!! There was a cancellation with the other party and instead of rescheduling me (I was on my own) the company sent out the driver and tour guides (2!) to give me the full experience! I am so grateful to all 3 for providing me with a tour that gave me a geographic overview of the island- I got to see all the amazing beaches on the island- and I also got the full farm experience with a drink and Greek mezes! I have memories to last a lifetime!

Gibson was AWESOME!! Tour was super worth the trip and great use of time on the island. Definitely would recommend for anyone who wants an idea of how locals live on the island. Gibson was so knowledgeable and nice. He gave us so much information and tips on how to spend our time here in Mykonos. Thank you so much for such a great time, Gibson!! Also we had an amazing driver who easily guided the bus throughout the crazy streets!
