Shore Excursion Relax at the Beach and Explore Mykonos Town
Description
Discover the best of Mykonos with a perfect balance of relaxation and exploration. Begin your journey from either Tourlos New Port or the Old Port and head to Elia Beach, one of the island’s most stunning stretches of golden sand and crystal-clear water. Here you’ll have around three hours of leisure time—swim in the Aegean, unwind on the beach, try out exciting watersports, or simply enjoy a refreshing drink or snack at a seaside taverna. Afterward, transfer to Mykonos Town at the Old Port, where you can choose to begin your own self-guided discovery. Wander the maze of charming streets, explore boutique shops and art galleries, and admire iconic landmarks such as the Windmills, Little Venice, and the Paraportiani Church. At the end of your visit, you’ll board your transportation for the return to Tourlos (New Port). Guests who prefer may remain in Mykonos Town to continue exploring and make their own way back to their cruise ship or accommodation.

We had an excellent time, alot of free time at the beach andykonos town. Dora was really nice and knowledgeable. Great excursion to replace the one from the cruise, 3 times cheaper.
Good value for money. Professional. Perhaps more clearly articulated English would be appreciated to understand better
Thank you for your review! We're glad you found the tour good value and well organized. We also appreciate your comment regarding the spoken English and will take it into consideration to help improve the experience for our international guests.
We loved this experience. It gave us a great mix of Mykonos. The beach was clean and the food/drinks available were nice too. We were able to find the hotels website the day before and book front row beach beds because we didn’t want to worry when we got there (however it seemed like there were still plenty of beds available further back). There was so much to explore in the town we wish we had just a little longer. Christina our guide was kind, knowledgeable and very easy to talk to. Everything ran on time and the bus was nice and cool. Overall we would totally recommend this experience!
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted you enjoyed the perfect mix of beach time and Mykonos. It's great to hear you loved the beautiful beach and had everything arranged for a relaxing day. We hope to welcome you back again soon! 😊
This was good. The beach was beautiful but be warned, the water will be cold! Also, could have been better without being disturbed every ten minutes with someone walking by while you are trying to relax to sell you jewelry, or clothes, or a bag. Overall, not too bad an experience but not as good as it could have been
Thank you for your review! We're glad you enjoyed the beautiful beach and your overall experience. We're sorry the frequent beach vendors affected your ability to fully relax, as this is outside our control. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back for an even more enjoyable visit to Mykonos in the future! 😊
Tour guide was very nice. Beach spot was not the greatest very small area of the beach designated for those that do not want to use chairs. So it gets crowded pretty quick. SunChairs were ridiculously priced at $40 euro per chair or $80 euro for a pair. Very rocky Sandy Beach. Not great if you want to walk the beach, barefoot. Old Port town of Mykonos was nice but shops are just duplicate, arranged items not that much variety. Overall, just an OK excursion
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad you found your tour guide friendly and enjoyed your time in Mykonos Town. We understand that beach preferences vary, and we're sorry Elia Beach wasn't exactly what you were hoping for. The sunbed prices are set independently by the beach venue, and guests are always welcome to use the free public beach area. We appreciate your comments and hope to welcome you back for another experience in the future.
The beach is spectacular. Very clean and cold water, bring water shoes because it is all stones. Well organized. 3 full hours at the beach and 2 hours and something in Mykonos. Great
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted you enjoyed the beautiful beach and found the tour well organized. It's great to hear you had plenty of time to relax at the beach and explore Mykonos Town. We hope to welcome you back again soon!
In just six hours, we swam in the Aegean Sea, took photos at the iconic windmills, explored Little Venice, and did some luxury souvenir shopping. It perfectly packages the very best highlights of the island without any wasted time.
Thank you for your fantastic review! We're delighted you were able to experience so much of Mykonos in just a few hours. From the beautiful beach and iconic windmills to Little Venice and the charming town, we're so glad you made the most of your visit. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back again soon!
The beach was beautiful and so was the town! We had plenty of time and the water was so clear! Everything was perfect!
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled you enjoyed both the beautiful beach and charming Mykonos Town. It's great to hear you had plenty of time to relax and that everything was perfect. We hope to welcome you back to Mykonos again soon! 🌊☀️
Beautiful beach with restaurant and clean bathrooms - town was a bit long for us but you can jump on a sea bus for 2.50euros
Thank you for your review! We’re glad you enjoyed the beach and its facilities. We also appreciate your feedback about the town time, and yes, the SeaBus is a convenient option for returning to the port.
This excursion is brilliant because it satisfies both the nature lover and the culture seeker. Spending the first half of the day completely unwinding on a golden beach and the second half exploring the historic town gave us the ultimate, well-rounded Mykonos experience.
