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.

The guide and driver were most excellent. They were interactive and asked questions and answered all our questions. The only thing we didn't really enjoy was the actual lunch we received at the farm and we ended up being there at night so we didn't get to see the animals or pet any. The rice was cold and it wasn't very much food unless you ate all the rice.

Because it was offseason my wife and I were the only couple in the tour. Having said that, the tour guide Stephanie was very helpful and informative explaining us the history and significance of every place that we visited along with some interesting titbits, and also doubled up as our photographer. The paid Greek lunch on the Mykonian farm visit was the highlight of the tour with the food being the best we've had so far in our Greece trip, along with some tete-a-tete with Stephanie over the culture and food of Greece and India. We thoroughly loved the experience, and would certainly recommend Mykonos Excursions, the tour organiser, to anyone who visits Mykonos.

If you have a short stay in Mykonos and want to see a bit of the best beaches then this is the tour you need to do … They also take you to a beautiful local place for a nice meal which you must try !! The food was fresh and made with delicious local products … We had an amazing last stop at a beautiful viewing point for the best pictures of the island itself ….
