Itinerary
Manto Mavrogenous Square Our first stop on the tour is Manto Mavrogenous Square—a lively landmark overlooking the Old Port and marking the entrance to Mykonos Town. It’s the vibrant heart of this quintessential Greek island destination.
Matoyianni Street Stroll your way down Matoyianni street, with the cute but posh shops, restaurants and the lovely stone covered pedestrian alleys and get the vibe of the island's town! A must visit area, perfect street for taking pictures, with beautifully decorated corners, blossomed bougainvillaeas in the streets, and even artistic decorations in front of the local stores.
Church of Paraportiani The church of Paraportiani dates back to the 15th century making it Mykonos' oldest church. It must have occupied hallowed ground because, as its name ("church by the gate") with its unique shape and location, the Church of Panagia Paraportiani still carries the history of Mykonos in and around it.
The Windmills The windmills are the quintessential features of Mykonos landscape. There are plenty of them that have become a part and parcel of Mykonos. The Windmills the most famous landmark of Mykonos with lots of people visit them from all over the world every year.

There was very little History included in this tour. Mostly a few tidbits, pic locations, nice bakery stop, other recommendations and where to shop. Our guide was Irish (?) And we thought maybe she was a little tipsy but hard to tell with the accent lol. She was friendly, helpful and chatty but we didn't really get what we thought we would out of it. We finished 30 min early because we didn't think we'd get anything else out of it.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. This tour is not intended to be a historical tour, it’s centered on local culture and everyday life. Regarding the guide, having an Irish accent does not imply she was tipsy. Our guides take their work seriously and always aim to provide a great experience. Warm regards, Ria
Fantastic experience and would definitely recommend. All communication was easy and a fantastic experience overall. Great to do near the start of our time for interesting information.
We’re so glad you found the tour enjoyable and helpful to start your time in Mykonos! Warm regards, Sergios

It was a very interesting tour with our very friendly & informative guide Georgia . She knew all the spots to look it, great at taking photos too. We were lucky to have just 2 couples on this tour, & Georgia knew so many of the locals Her commentary was awesome , full of interesting little tit bits. Highly recommend this tour & if you get Georgia you won’t be disappointed
It’s fantastic to hear you had such a personal experience with Georgia and enjoyed all the local tips and photo moments! Warm regards, Sergios
The tour was great and really fun! I liked that it wasn’t boring or too focused on history, and we got to see lots of hidden gems
Thank you! We’re happy you enjoyed a fun and engaging tour and discovered so many hidden gems around Mykonos! Warm regards, Sergios
Our tour guide had been living in Mykonos since 2015 and was super knowledgeable. We started at old port and walked all the way to the windmills around the whole island. It was our first day and we saw all the highlights and I appreciated that they gave us directions to the bus, bakery etc. great tour to see all the highlights in a short period of time and get your bearings in the city
Thank you for the great review! We're so glad you enjoyed the tour and found it helpful, especially on your first day. It’s wonderful to hear that your guide’s local knowledge and tips made a difference. A perfect way to start your time in Mykonos!
Stephanie was knowledgeable and entertaining. She made the tour really fun , even stopping at a bakery, which has been fully operational since 1420. 😳 We saw everything in the small township and she provided recommendations for shopping on a very cool, windy day. Would highly recommend to couples and families.
Nice easy and relax walk around the island. We had a chance to visit the school, an old bakery, the windmills and Little Venice. We had an excellent guide! Very warm and friendly.
Our tour guides were a married couple, her name was Georgia. They were very relaxed and enjoyable to be with and had many interesting facts to share with us about their home of Mykonos. We were able to ask questions about what we are interested in and they were happy to answer.
