Explore the beautiful Greek island of Mykonos on a half-day tour from the cruise port. Take in the stunning views of the white houses, blue skies, and narrow winding streets. Visit the beach of Agios Loannis, the traditional village of Ano Mera, and the Monastery of Panagia Tourliana.
Depart from the cruise port and head southwards towards the beach of Agios Loannis. Pass the beautiful beach of Ornos with yachts anchored offshore and the shore line dotted with tavernas. Stop to enjoy the wonderful view of Delos Island and capture the stunning views on camera.
From here, head to the traditional village and home of the Panagia Tourliana Monastery, located in Ano Mera in the center of the island. The Monastery was built by monks in 1542 and is rather impressive with a whitewashed exterior, a colored dome, and a beautiful marble fountain in the yard outside the church.
Continue to Kalafati beach for a 45-minute stop where you can swim or take refreshments at the seaside cafeteria (refreshments at your own cost). Then, venture off to Mykonos town to start your walking tour. Admire the interesting architecture and enjoy the atmosphere of the narrow streets and alleys along the way.
Head to Little Venice, so called because the houses and cafes are right by the water. See the famous windmills, where grain was milled to make flour, the cathedral of Paraportiani, and numerous chapels and traditional houses. Finally, head back to the port or stay in town to shop for souvenirs or enjoy a traditional Greek salad in one of the local tavernas before heading back to the port on your own.
