Amazing experience! Beach was awesome clear water, just fantastic! Tour guide was great! Would definitely do it again!
Beach is windy in the morning but gets warmer as the day goes on. Dress appropriately for the wind. The beach is nice and bathrooms clean. Very pleasant experience.
Thank you for your lovely review! We're glad you had a pleasant experience and enjoyed the beautiful beach and its facilities. Mykonos certainly is famous for its wind, so dressing accordingly is a great tip for future visitors. We hope to welcome you back again!
Mykonos Greece it’s a beautiful island. It was one of our stops on a cruise ship so we had a limited amount of time. The first step was a beach, which was very beautiful. However, be prepared to spend money on chairs. You can use a towel near the water, but the tide came in and anyone who did that had to go back behind all the chairs which limited their view of the ocean. The bus does bring you later on to the beautiful town of Mykonos Greece. It’s an absolutely beautiful town with Carlos small streets that you can explore. I would’ve loved to have had more time but of course we needed to get back to the ship. This tour is a great way to be able to swim in the in the ocean and experience a very pretty queen Greek town. Make sure you walk to the windmills. There’s an absolutely beautiful view from that and it’s a close walk.
Thank you for your detailed review! We're delighted you enjoyed the beautiful beach and had the opportunity to explore charming Mykonos Town and its famous windmills. With limited time during a cruise stop, we're so glad the tour allowed you to experience both the Aegean Sea and the beauty of Mykonos. We hope to welcome you back for a longer visit next time!

Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted Andrea made the experience so interesting with her knowledge of Mykonos, past and present. We're so glad you enjoyed beautiful Elia Beach and Mykonos Town too. We hope to welcome you back again!
The beach was beautiful, but honestly, the free time in Mykonos Town was my favorite part. We walked around without a strict schedule, stopped for coffee, looked through the shops, and took way too many photos. It was a simple excursion, but it gave us exactly what we wanted from our stop.
Elsa our tour guide was so sweet and funny. The beach she took us to was beautiful. The town itself was pretty.
Thank you for your lovely review! We're delighted you enjoyed the beautiful beach and Mykonos Town. Elsa will be so happy to hear that her sweet personality and sense of humor made your day even more enjoyable! 😊

The trip itself was good value and the guide very knowledgeable. However, everyone needs to be aware the sunbeds on Elias Beach are expensive at 80 Euro for 2, no sharing allowed and NO half day rates offered. There is a slightly reduced offer on the right hand side which was 75 Euro for 2 providing you spent 20 euro ordering drinks. There is a lovely cafe bar on the beach with shaded seating and we spent our time and money there. Mykonos town was a 10 minute stroll from the coach park. We wandered the lanes and made it to the windmills we had a meal on the harbour front. Then rather than walk all the way back to the coach we opted for the sea bus directly back to the ship for 2.50 Euro’s each. Very good value
Thank you for your review! We're delighted you found the excursion good value and enjoyed the knowledge shared by our guide. It sounds like you made the most of both your beach time and Mykonos Town, finishing with a lovely meal by the waterfront. We're glad you had an enjoyable day and appreciate your recommendation!
