Itinerary
Day 1
Private 4-hour guided drive around Mykonos visiting coastal viewpoints, beaches, Ano Mera village and finishing with a short stroll in Mykonos Town at the Windmills and Little Venice.
Agios Ioannis (Agios Ioannis Diakoftis)
Quick stop at a quiet bay with soft sand and gentle waters; great spot for photos and views toward Delos. Short on-site time for photos and a coastal breather.
Tips from local experts:
- Wear comfortable shoes — the short walk down to the shore can be uneven.
- Bring a light jacket for breezy mornings even in summer; it cools near the water.
- If you want a posed photo toward Delos, ask the driver to stop where the small bay is visible from the road.
Faros Armenistis (Armenistis Lighthouse)
Photo stop at the Armenistis lighthouse on a rocky headland with open-Aegean views; short panoramic break and photo opportunity.
Tips from local experts:
- Bring sunglasses and a hat — the headland is exposed to wind and sun.
- Stand on the seaward side for the best uninterrupted horizon photos.
- There is limited flat parking; wait in the vehicle if you have mobility concerns and the guide will find a short, level route.
Panormos Beach
Short visit at a wide sandy beach known for clear water and a stylish beach atmosphere; time allocated for a quick walk, photos or a short swim if desired.
Tips from local experts:
- If you plan to dip into the water, bring swimwear and a quick-dry towel in your day bag.
- Ask the guide before entering any beach lounge areas — time is limited and not all beach clubs are suitable for quick stops.
- Keep valuables in the vehicle or on you; the stop is brief so pack only what you need.
Agios Sostis Beach
A brief visit to one of the island’s most natural beaches — no umbrellas or clubs here; a short walk and chance to enjoy the clear water and simple scenery.
Tips from local experts:
- There are minimal facilities at Agios Sostis; use nearby stops for restrooms or refreshments.
- The beach is popular for quiet swimming — avoid loud music to respect the setting.
- If mobility is limited, request the driver to stop at the roadside viewpoint rather than descending to the sand.
Ftelia Beach
A short photo and viewpoint stop at Ftelia, known for its windswept sand and relaxed, alternative vibe.
Tips from local experts:
- Ftelia can be windy and is popular with surfers — check wind conditions before planning a swim.
- There is limited shade; bring sun protection if you want to linger for photos.
- Respect any marked private areas and stay on public access points for views.
Panagia Tourliani Monastery (Ano Mera)
Visit the historic monastery in Ano Mera for a short cultural stop; see the courtyard and notable 18th-century architecture.
Tips from local experts:
- Dress respectfully for the monastery (shoulders/knees covered) for entry to indoor chapels.
- Photography inside may be restricted — follow signage and local guidance.
- There are steps and some uneven surfaces; request assistance if you have mobility needs.
Ano Mera - Central Square (traditional lunch / village stroll)
Short time in the central square to stroll, see local tavernas and enjoy a traditional lunch break or a relaxed coffee (time allocated for a light meal or refreshment).
Tips from local experts:
- If you prefer a full sit-down meal, inform the guide in advance so the allocated time can be adjusted.
- Ask for local specialties like grilled vegetables or a simple Greek salad which are commonly served and quick.
- There is shade in the square — sit at a terrace for a better village atmosphere and quieter moment.
Kalafatis Beach
Coastal stop at Kalafatis for clear waters and a chance to see the family-friendly shoreline; short break for photos and shoreline views.
Tips from local experts:
- Kalafatis has organized water-sport centers; for a short visit, remain on the public beach area.
- If you want a quick swim, bring swimwear in your day bag for this brief stop.
- There are restroom facilities near main beach access — confirm with the guide before arrival.
Kalo Livadi Beach
A brief stop at the long sandy shore of Kalo Livadi to enjoy the coastal view and capture sunset tones later in the day; here it's a quick photo stop.
Tips from local experts:
- Kalo Livadi is busy in high season; keep belongings secure during short stops.
- If you want a longer beach time, advise the guide — current schedule allows only a short visit.
- There are beach clubs on either end; ask the guide to point out public access points for photos.
Panoramic view of Mykonos Town
Short scenic viewpoint of Mykonos Town to overview the town layout and harbor before a brief walking finish in the town center.
Tips from local experts:
- Use this spot for quick panoramic photos of the town and sea — ask the guide for the best camera settings for bright-white buildings.
- There can be a sharp drop in light in late afternoon; if planning sunset photos, mention this to the guide early.
- This viewpoint may have limited shade — keep water handy and sunglasses for glare.
Windmills of Mykonos (Kato Mili)
Brief visit to the iconic windmills for photos and sea views — classic Mykonos landmark and romantic sunset spot if the timing aligns.
Tips from local experts:
- The windmills area can be crowded; request the driver to pause at the less busy edge for a quieter photo.
- Watch your step on the stone paths — comfortable shoes are recommended for short walks.
- If you plan to watch the sunset here, tell the guide in advance to adjust return timing.
Little Venice and Paraportiani area (combined town stroll)
Short combined stroll past Little Venice, Paraportiani Church and Matoyianni Street for photos, a drink stop or light shopping — timed as the final town visit before drop-off.
Tips from local experts:
- Little Venice is best for a short drink or photo on the waterfront — pre-select a cafe if you want to linger.
- Paraportiani Church is a must-see photo spot; be mindful of wedding services or restricted access times.
- Matoyianni Street has narrow alleys and steps; keep bags close and plan a short window for shopping.
