During the walking tour, you will get acquainted with the historical center of the island’s capital — Chora, learn about the rich history of Mykonos, its myths, traditions, and the amazing transformation from a modest island settlement to one of the most famous resorts in the world.
Tour program
Walk through the historical center of Chora
The acquaintance with Mykonos will begin with a walk through the labyrinth of snow-white streets adorned with flowers and characteristic blue doors and shutters typical of Cycladic architecture.
You will see cozy squares, traditional houses, small churches, and picturesque corners hidden from busy tourist routes.
Church of Panagia Paraportiani
One of the main stops will be the famous Church of Panagia Paraportiani — an unusual architectural complex that combines several small temples. Its asymmetric snow-white forms have become one of the recognizable symbols of the island.
Mykonos Windmills
Next, you will head to the famous windmills towering over the coast. Once used for grinding grain, today they are one of the most popular attractions in Mykonos.
From here, you can enjoy magnificent views of the Aegean Sea and the historical part of the city.
Little Venice
The walk will conclude in one of the most romantic areas of Mykonos — Little Venice, where colorful houses with wooden balconies seem to grow right out of the sea.
Here you can relax in one of the cozy cafes, drink traditional Greek coffee, and enjoy the atmosphere of the island.
Throughout the tour, the guide will tell you about mythology, local traditions, the character of the islanders, and modern life in Mykonos.
