Itinerary
Day 1
Full guided tour combining walking in Chora, visits to seaside landmarks, a medieval bakery coffee stop, a family farm experience, a brewery tasting and a casual local lunch — paced for comfort and photo stops.
Hotel/cruise-port pickup and walk through Mykonos Town (Chora)
We collect you from your hotel or the cruise port and begin with a guided walk through the narrow lanes of Mykonos Town (Chora), learning about local architecture, small shops and key viewpoints.
Tips from local experts:
- Wear comfortable shoes — cobbled lanes and short uneven steps are common in Chora.
- If you’re arriving by cruise tender, have your ship’s return time handy and share it with the guide at pickup.
- Carry a light layer; sea breezes can be cool in the morning even in May.
Windmills (Kato Mili) photo stop and short history
Pause for photos and a short explanation of the iconic windmills and their historical role in Mykonos' economy.
Tips from local experts:
- The best photos face the sea — arrive early to avoid crowds and backlit shots.
- There are a few steps up to the main viewing area; take care on wet surfaces.
- If you’d like sunset-style photos, ask your guide for the best later viewpoints — this stop is timed for soft morning light.
Stroll in Little Venice
A guided walk along the sea-front houses of Little Venice — romantic seaside architecture at eye level and a chance to take seaside photos.
Tips from local experts:
- Watch for small splashes near the waterline; sturdy footwear is recommended for couples wanting close-to-water photos.
- This area can be busy; hold personal items close when stopping for photos.
- If you prefer a quieter view, the guide can point to a short nearby lane with the same outlook but fewer people.
Greek coffee at a medieval Mykonian bakery
Enjoy a traditional Greek coffee at one of Mykonos’ medieval working bakeries while sampling small baked sweets described by the guide.
Tips from local experts:
- Order your coffee slightly less sweet if you prefer to taste local pastries after — Greek coffee is sweet by default.
- Seating is limited; the guide will help the group secure a spot to enjoy a relaxed break.
- If you or your partner need a decaf or non-dairy option, ask the guide in advance to request available alternatives.
Transfer to a traditional Mykonian family farm (Ano Mera area)
Short scenic transfer by air-conditioned vehicle to the interior of the island where the family farm is located. Use this time to relax and ask questions about local agricultural traditions.
Tips from local experts:
- Bring a light sun hat — inland areas can be sunnier and less breezy than the town.
- Restroom breaks are available at the farm on arrival; if you need anything during transit tell the guide.
- If you have mobility concerns, inform the guide before the transfer so they can choose the most convenient drop-off point.
Visit to a Myconian family farmstead with tasting
Guided tour of the traditionally furnished family homestead (workshops, stone oven, small winery) followed by tastings: local wine or tsipouro, home-made pies and other regional dishes in the farm yard.
Tips from local experts:
- The farm has natural ground and some uneven surfaces — wear firm shoes and be prepared for short, unpaved paths.
- If you do not drink alcohol, inform the guide; non-alcoholic options (water/juice) are typically available for the tasting.
- Photography of animals and workshops is welcome; please follow the family's directions near animals and indoor areas.
Transfer back toward Mykonos Town for brewery visit
Short return drive toward town to visit Mykonos' small-batch brewery for a guided tasting.
Tips from local experts:
- During the drive you’ll pass typical Mykonian agricultural plots — keep your camera ready for quick countryside photos.
- Travel time can vary with local traffic; the schedule includes a buffer but keep an eye on the guide’s announcements.
- If you need mobility assistance at the brewery, notify the guide so they can request a suitable meeting point.
Guided brewery visit and small-batch beer sampling
Guided tour of a local small-batch brewery in Mykonos with samplings (six small pours) and explanation of brewing methods for the island’s microbrews.
Tips from local experts:
- Tastings include alcoholic samples; designate a driver or use the included transport if you plan to drink.
- If you prefer non-alcoholic samples or fewer pours, tell the guide prior to the tasting.
- Bring a light jacket — some brewery spaces are cooler and have concrete floors.
Suvlaki or pita gyros (vegetarian option available) and traditional baklava to finish
Casual meal consisting of a suvlaki or pita gyros (vegetarian option offered) followed by a traditional Greek baklava dessert to conclude the tasting sequence.
Tips from local experts:
- If you have dietary restrictions or allergies, inform the guide before meal service so alternatives can be arranged.
- This is a casual seated meal; request a quieter seating spot if you prefer a more intimate setting.
- Save room for baklava — it’s sweet and traditionally served in a modest portion after savory food.
Return and drop-off at hotel or cruise port
Short transfer back to your original pickup point — the guide confirms exact drop-off location in advance.
Tips from local experts:
- Confirm your preferred drop-off address with the guide at the start so the transfer is efficient.
- If you’re on a tight cruise schedule, tell the guide immediately after boarding so timing can be adjusted.
- Collect any personal purchases or items gathered during the day before disembarking the vehicle.
