Description
Discover Mykonos on a half-day tour from the New Port. Visit Kalafatis Beach, explore the village of Ano Mera, and see the Windmills, Little Venice, and Paraportiani Church in Mykonos Town.
Begin your journey at the New Port, beside the Cruise Ship Terminal Gate, where you will meet your guide and begin your journey through the landscapes, stories, and traditions that have shaped Mykonos.
Your first stop is Kalafatis Beach, located on the southeastern side of Mykonos. Known for its clear Aegean waters and relaxed surroundings, Kalafatis provides the perfect opportunity to pause and enjoy the island’s natural scenery. Take a short walk, admire the coastline, or simply capture some beautiful holiday photographs.
Leaving the coast behind, the journey continues to Ano Mera, one of the island’s most authentic traditional settlements. Explore the village square and discover a slower, more local atmosphere surrounded by traditional architecture and welcoming tavernas.
For those interested in Mykonos’ heritage, there is also the opportunity to visit the Monastery of Panagia Tourliani, an impressive 16th-century monument with a strong connection to the island’s religious and cultural history.
The final chapter of the tour takes you to Mykonos Town, where you will explore the famous maze of whitewashed buildings, narrow passages, small squares, and sea facing streets on a guided walking tour.
As you make your way through the town, discover three of Mykonos’ most recognizable landmarks: the Windmills, Little Venice, and Paraportiani Church.
The tour concludes at the scenic waterfront area close to the Town Hall. From here, take a few final photographs, enjoy the atmosphere of the waterfront, or remain in Mykonos Town and continue exploring independently at your own pace.
