- Ano Mera - As the second-largest settlement on Mykonos, Ano Mera offers a serene retreat from the lively main town. Nestled in the island’s center, this traditional Cycladic village highlights authentic Mykonian life with its whitewashed homes, flower-filled courtyards, and family-run tavernas serving homemade Greek cuisine. The central square is an ideal spot to unwind and soak in the peaceful local atmosphere.
- Monastery of Panayia Tourliani - Situated in the heart of Ano Mera, the Monastery of Panagia Tourliani is a key religious site on Mykonos. Established in 1542 and restored in 1767, the monastery is dedicated to the Virgin Mary. It boasts a striking whitewashed exterior, a beautiful bell tower, and a carved wooden iconostasis—a masterpiece of ecclesiastical art. Inside, visitors can admire rare icons, holy relics, and experience a sense of spiritual tranquility. The adjacent small museum showcases vestments, ecclesiastical vessels, and antique religious artifacts.
- Kalafatis - Kalafatis Beach is renowned as one of the island’s most family-friendly and sporty beaches. Famous for its turquoise waters and fine golden sand, it attracts windsurfers, divers, and water-sports enthusiasts. The beach is well-equipped, offering sunbeds, umbrellas, and water sport centers. Nearby restaurants and tavernas serve fresh seafood with a sea view. Despite its amenities, Kalafatis maintains a relaxed vibe, making it perfect for both adventure and leisure.
- Kalo Livadi - Located along the southern coast, Kalo Livadi Beach is one of Mykonos’ longest and most stunning beaches. Surrounded by low hills and crystal-clear shallow waters, it draws families and those seeking chic beach clubs and music lounges. The beach’s blend of luxury facilities and natural beauty makes it a favorite among locals and visitors alike. Whether swimming, sunbathing, or enjoying cocktails by the sea, Kalo Livadi provides the perfect setting.
- Mykonos Town - Enjoy a panoramic view of Mykonos.
- The Windmills (Kato Milli) - The iconic windmills of Mykonos are among the island’s most famous landmarks. Dating back to the 16th century, they once utilized the strong northern winds to grind grain for the island’s inhabitants. Positioned above Mykonos Town, near the Alefkandra area, the seven preserved windmills (notably Kato Mili) overlook the sea and offer breathtaking sunset views. Today, they symbolize the island’s rich history and picturesque allure.
- Little Venice - Little Venice is one of the most romantic and photographed areas on Mykonos. Built right on the water’s edge, its vibrant houses with balconies overhanging the sea once belonged to affluent merchants and captains. Now, they house stylish bars, cafés, and boutiques, creating a lively yet sophisticated ambiance. At sunset, Little Venice transforms into a magical scene with golden light reflecting on the Aegean — an unforgettable experience.
- Matoyianni Street - Matoyianni (or Matogianni) Street is the vibrant heart of Mykonos Town — a labyrinth of narrow cobblestone alleys lined with boutiques, jewelry shops, art galleries, cafés, and bars. It perfectly embodies the island’s lively cosmopolitan spirit. By day, it’s a haven for shopping enthusiasts; by night, it becomes a bustling hub of social activity. Walking down Matoyianni is a must-do Mykonos experience, blending traditional charm with modern luxury.
- Church of Paraportiani - The Church of Panagia Paraportiani is a true architectural masterpiece and one of Greece’s most renowned churches. Situated in the Kastro area of Mykonos Town, it is actually a complex of five small churches built between the 15th and 17th centuries. The irregular whitewashed structure, with its smooth, flowing lines, exemplifies Cycladic architecture at its best. Its name means “Our Lady of the Side Gate,” as it was constructed next to the entrance of the old castle. This is one of the island’s most photographed landmarks.
- Mykonos Port - The tour concludes in the same area as the starting point. If you wish to remain in Mykonos Town afterward, the choice is yours.
