Itinerary

Armenistis Lighthouse

30 min

Discover the iconic Armenistis Lighthouse, a must-see landmark for any private tour of Mykonos. Built in 1891, this historic beacon offers the island's most famous 360-degree panoramic view over the Aegean Sea and neighboring Tinos.

Avoid the tour-bus crowds with this exclusive shore excursion stop. Perfect for photography enthusiasts, we position you at the 'Edge of the Island' for the ultimate Instagram-worthy shot. Experience the raw beauty and the powerful Meltemi winds at this legendary hidden gem, away from the overcrowded tourist traps. This is the authentic Mykonos experience travelers dream of.
Fokos Beach

30 min

Experience the raw beauty of Fokos Beach, a hidden gem that remains untouched by the island's commercial party scene. With no sunbeds or loud music, this 'unorganized' bay is a favorite for locals seeking peace and crystal-clear waters. It is also home to a legendary traditional seaside taverna, famous for its authentic Mykonian flavors and simple, high-quality local life. This is the ultimate stop for those who want to see—and taste—the true soul of the island.
Paralia Kalafati

30 min

Kalafatis Beach & The Former Cycladic Fisherman Village.

Kalafatis Beach is a stunning, wide bay famous for its crystal-clear turquoise waters and its status as a "Blue Flag" destination. While popular for windsurfing and diving, the highlight is the former Cycladic fisherman village tucked away at the edge of the shore. Here, you will see the traditional "Syrmata"—stone boat houses built directly into the rock—offering a rare and authentic look at the island's maritime history before it became a global destination. It is the perfect spot for those seeking a peaceful atmosphere and a connection to the real Mykonos.
Ano Mera

30 min

Ano Mera is the most famous inland destination on Mykonos and a central stop for almost every visitor. The village square is a busy hub of traditional life, lined with popular tavernas and cafes. It is the best place on the island to find local specialties like Kopanisti cheese and Louza. While it is a major attraction, it remains the best spot to sit for an Ouzo and meze while taking in the classic Cycladic village atmosphere.

Activity: Local food, shopping, and people-watching in the main square.
Monastery of Panayia Tourliani

10 min Admission included

Located right by the busy village square, this 16th-century monastery is one of the island's most visited landmarks. It is well-known for its impressive marble bell tower and its historic courtyard. Inside, the massive wooden altar screen and the collection of religious artifacts attract travelers interested in the island's history and architecture. It is a key cultural stop that offers a look at the religious heritage of Mykonos.
Agrari Beach

40 min

Agrari is one of the most peaceful beaches on the southern coast. While neighboring beaches are developed with large clubs, Agrari remains more simple and authentic. It features deep blue, crystal-clear water and a long stretch of coarse sand. It is a favorite for those who want to avoid the loud music of the more famous spots and enjoy a quiet swim in a beautiful, natural setting.

You can enjoy a coffee or a fresh juice at the traditional beachfront taverna while taking in the views of the neighboring island of Naxos. It is also an ideal spot for a quick, refreshing swim in some of the clearest and deepest waters found on the island’s south side.
Stop 7

Passing by

We take a scenic drive through the rocky hills of Plintri to see the chapel of Agios Isidoros. Surrounded by massive granite boulders and wild landscape, this tiny votive church is a perfect example of the island's raw, inland beauty away from the main roads.
Church of Paraportiani

10 min

The Church of Panagia Paraportiani in Mykonos is a striking architectural marvel, known for its unique blend of styles and its whitewashed walls. Built between the 15th and 17th centuries, it features a series of interconnected chapels and is situated near the sea, making it a popular historical and photographic site. The church's stunning appearance and picturesque setting contribute to its charm and significance on the island.
The Windmills (Kato Milli)

15 min

The island’s most famous landmark. These 16th-century structures sit on a hill overlooking the harbor, offering the best panoramic views and photo opportunities in Mykonos.
Little Venice

10 min

A historic neighborhood where 18th-century captain’s houses are built directly over the sea. It is the perfect spot to see the colorful balconies and experience the waves reaching the edge of the town.
Mykonos Town

30 min

We will stop in Mykonos Town, giving you the flexibility to explore the famous white-washed labyrinth at your own pace. This is your time to wander the narrow cobblestone alleys and enjoy the local shops and atmosphere. During your walk through the town, you will also have the opportunity to visit the below iconic highlights: Windmills, Little Venice, Paraportiani
