A Stroll Through History – Continue your tour with a guided walk through Mykonos Town, one of the island’s highlights. Wander through narrow streets lined with whitewashed houses, colorful bougainvillea, and local shops, as your guide leads you to iconic spots like the Windmills, Little Venice, and Panagia Paraportiani. A perfect ending to your tour before returning to the port with great memories and photos.
No visit to Mykonos is complete without seeing its iconic windmills, a true symbol of the island. Set on a hill above the sea, these historic structures once harnessed the Aegean winds and now offer stunning views over Mykonos Town and beyond—perfect for photos and a touch of local history.
Walk through Little Venice, one of Mykonos’ most romantic areas, where charming old houses sit beautifully along the sea.
Panagia Paraportiani Church – A Unique Architectural Gem Discover one of Greece’s most iconic churches, known for its striking whitewashed design and unusual structure made up of five small chapels built over time. Located at the entrance of Mykonos Town, it’s a must-see spot for photos and a glimpse into the island’s rich history and culture.
Wrap Up at the Mykonos Waterfront – End your half-day tour at the scenic waterfront near Mykonos Town Hall. Take in the views, snap a few final photos, and enjoy the lively atmosphere before returning to the cruise port or continuing to explore Mykonos Town at your own pace.

About Mykonos
Whitewashed lanes, windmills and golden beaches make sun-bleached Mykonos a Cycladic favourite, famous for its glamour and lively nights.
Mykonos Town, or Chora, is a maze of narrow lanes, blue doors, tiny churches and bougainvillea, said to have been laid out to confuse pirates. Little Venice, where balconied houses hang over the sea, is the classic place for sunset, with a row of windmills on the hill above. The Paraportiani Church, a whitewashed cluster of chapels, is the island's most photographed building.
