Itinerary
Step into your comfortable, air-conditioned private vehicle as your expert local driver-guide introduces you to the island. Your first stop is the rugged northwestern tip of Mykonos to visit the historic, 19th-century Armenistis Lighthouse. Perched dramatically on the cliffside, this spot offers some of the most breathtaking, uninterrupted panoramic views of the Aegean Sea. Your driver-guide will share fascinating local stories of the island’s maritime history while pointing out the neighboring islands of Tinos and Delos on the horizon. There is plenty of time to take iconic photographs and stretch your legs in the refreshing sea breeze.
The beautiful, historic 16th-century monastery. Inside, you will see a peaceful stone courtyard, historic architecture, and the church's main highlight: a breathtaking, intricately carved wooden iconostasis (altar screen) made in Florence in the late 1700s. What you will do: Your driver will handle the admission fee for you at the entrance so you can step right inside. You will explore the beautiful interior and quiet courtyard completely on your own, take photos, and enjoy a peaceful glimpse into the island's deep history and religious traditions.
Leave the coastal resorts behind and journey into the heart of the island with your local driver-guide to explore Ano Mera, the only traditional village on Mykonos. Your guide will walk you through the peaceful, whitewashed square, away from the typical tourist paths. Here, you will soak in the authentic Cycladic atmosphere, admire the classic cubic architecture, and see how the locals live. Your driver-guide will introduce you to true Greek hospitality and can recommend the best spots in the square to try a traditional Mykonian local treat or lunch.
What you will see: One of the most beautiful beaches in Mykonos, featuring soft golden sand and calm, crystal-clear blue water. What you will do: Your driver-guide will drop you off right by the water. You can walk along the sand, dip your toes in the clear sea, or sit down at a seaside café to enjoy a cold drink. (Note: Since this is a private tour, your driver-guide can easily take you to the nearby Kalafatis Beach also, if you prefer water sports and a more active environment!)
Kalafatis Beach one of Mykonos more spacious beaches, known for its crystal-clear turquoise waters and golden sand. It's a favorite spot for windsurfing and other water sports thanks to the island's summer winds. During our 15-minute stop, you'll have just enough time to enjoy the beautiful views, take a few photos, and experience a more relaxed side of Mykonos before we continue our journey.
What you will see: The iconic 16th-century whitewashed windmills standing high on the hillside, right next to "Little Venice"—a famous row of colorful historic captains' houses built right on the water's edge where the waves crash. What you will do: Continuing your free time on your own, you will walk to this spectacular waterfront area. It is the absolute best spot in town to take incredible independent photos, stand by the historic windmills, and enjoy the magical seaside views.
What you will see: One of the most famous, unique, and photographed churches in all of Greece. You will see a breathtaking, whitewashed asymmetrical structure that is actually made of five small churches built on top of and next to each other over centuries. What you will do: Walk up to this incredible architectural wonder on your own during your town visit. You can admire its famous smooth, melting-white walls from the outside, take beautiful artistic photographs, and see a piece of deep Mykonian history dating back to the Byzantine era.
What you will see: The world-famous, postcard-perfect capital of the island. You will see a beautiful maze of historic whitewashed buildings, narrow stone pathways, and vibrant pink bougainvillea flowers draped over traditional balconies. Your driver will drop you off safely at the entrance of the pedestrian-only town. You will enjoy total free time on your own to take a relaxing stroll through the narrow streets, browse the charming local boutiques, and explore the most beautiful corners of the town at your own pace.

A private tour that our driver took us to see a couple of places, as we were staying in a beach resort far from town and without a car. The history, the stories, the little details that make a place actually interesting was the highlight. No rushing, no strangers, enough time to get to see the Lighthouse , Ano Mera village at your own pace. Honestly one of the best things we did in Mykonos using our visit.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We very pleased to know you enjoyed your tour of Mykonos with our driver. Wishing you a lovely summer holiday.
This was a great trip and our guide was very knowledgeable about the island and its culture

We booked this tour as it was recommended from the hotel my friends stayed in. We had a lovely time with our friends and the driver was the best ever. Our friends got to see all the famous beaches and to learn about Mykonos history. They took took us to a lovely restaurant where we decided to have lunch. ( this was not included in the tour but we glad they recommended it.) Very clean car and professional careful driver.

We visited Mykonos for a day from Naxos with our guests. We were advised to use this company for our transportation on the island. We called them and Spartak recommened we booked the 4 hour tour so we could combine a little of sightseeing as we had never visited Mykonos and also get to shop for our property. Our guests loved the tour the driver was friendly and knowledgable with interesting insights of the island. Lovely experience, spotless mini van perfect for small groups. They even left us in Mykonos town for an hour to stroll around and picked us up after to take us back to Mykonos port for our ferry. We will certianly recommend them to future guests that visit Mykonos.
Thank you for your review, we pleased you enjoyed our tour of Mykonos and look forward in staying at your lovely property in summer.

Thanks to his expertise and enthusiasm, we ended up seeing much more than we expected. From iconic landmarks to off-the-beaten-path spots, every moment was memorable. If you're visiting Mykonos and want a truly enriching and enjoyable tour, I highly recommend this service!
