Description
Discover the best of Mykonos with a perfect balance of relaxation and exploration. Begin your journey from either Tourlos New 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.
In demand: 78 of the next 180 departures are already sold out.

Not great. Misleading.
The tour bus was late. The beach was really beautiful. My issue with this tour is that we were misled into thinking we would have 2 hours in the town. What actually happened was we were dropped off at the cruise port where we were picked up after three hours at the beach and told to walk to the old city as we were ‘already there’ (still a 10 minute walk). End of tour. So really this wasn’t a 6 hour tour. It was a 4 hour tour getting us to a beach and back. Pretty sure I could have taken cabs for cheaper.
Operator response
We’re glad you enjoyed your time at the beach. Your ship tendered at the Old Port, which is already within Mykonos Town, so after the beach you were dropped there to begin your optional free time and explore the town on foot.
As cruise ships may arrive at either the Old or New Port, the later scheduled transfer is provided for guests whose ships are at the New Port (could have been yours). Guests tendering at the Old Port can enjoy Mykonos Town at their own pace and return directly to their ship.
We appreciate your feedback.

Exactly what we hoped for
We wanted sun, sea, and a chance to see the famous streets of Mykonos, and that's exactly what we got. The excursion was well organized but still left us with enough freedom to enjoy ourselves. A very pleasant way to spend a shore day.

Loved it!
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!

Ok beach day
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
Operator response
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! 😊

Beach excursion
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
Operator response
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

Great variety in a single day
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.
