Panoramic Island Tour in Mykonos
Activity Description
Exploring the hidden gems of Mykonos: A Journey through History and Farming Traditions
This combo activity sweeps through the medieval town of Mykonos also known as the “chora”. Mykonos is famous for being a cosmopolitan island due to its lifestyle and the variety of visitors from all around the world. Mykonos’ traditional way of life is dearly reflected within its city limits, inside which we offer an authentic walking tour throughout some often unappreciated sites by many of its visitors. We offer you an opportunity of a lifetime to experience first-hand the true beauty of the Mykonian town, by walking you through its history and re-living some of its memories.
The wonderful walk through the unknown alleys and the secret corners of Mykonos town begins at 09.30 after you have been collected from your pick-up location (usually your hotel or the cruise ship port). Our guide will accompany you and will share his knowledge and stories starting at the well-known location of the Archaeological Museum and the Remezzo restaurant (where the entrance of the old town is), close to the old port, which is the starting point of the walking tour.
The adventurous part of this tour starts at 12:00 where you will arrive at the village of Ano Mera, pass through the picturesque square, and visit the monastery of Panagia Tourliani. We then continue by walking only 400 meters to the Mykonian Farm where we will be greeted by the Farm’s superintendent who will guide us through the territory, recounting the history of the places while showing us how organic and animal farming operates.
Later, while sitting and relaxing on a traditional stone-built couch sipping raki we will learn the history of the island’s farming, its livestock, and its crops.
