This half-day sightseeing and walking tour of Mykonos town set off southwards towards the beach of Agios Ioannis, passing the most beautiful beach of Ornos with Yachts anchored offshore and the shoreline dotted with Tavernas.
We then stop to enjoy the wonderful view of Delos Island where you will have the opportunity to capture the stunning views on camera. From here it is off to a traditional village and home of the Panagia Tourliana Monastery, located in Ano Mera in the center of the Island. The Monastery was built by monks in 1542 and is rather impressive with a whitewashed exterior, a colored dome, and a beautiful marble fountain in the yard outside the church.
You will then head off to Kalafati beach for a 45 minute stop where you will be able to swim or take refreshments at the seaside cafeteria (at your own cost).
You will then venture off to Mykonos town to start your walking tour. Starting at the old town where you can admire the interesting architecture and enjoy the atmosphere of the narrow streets and alleys along the way, heading to Little Venice, so-called because the houses and cafes are right by the water!
You will see the famous windmills, where grain was milled to make flour, the cathedral of Paraportiani along numerous chapels and traditional houses.
From here you will head back to port or if you would prefer you can stay in the town to a souvenir shop or experience a typical Greek salad in one of the local tavernas before making your own way back to port.
