THE REAL MYKONOS, AS A TRUE LOCAL

In a nutshell

In the capital of Mykonos you'll find a maze of whitewashed houses with bougainvillea and geraniums on their balconies, sea views and windmills. And a district of waterside houses reminiscent of Venice. This postcard city of the Cyclades also includes many restaurants and luxury boutiques.

Main stops

• Mykonos old town
• Little Venice
• Church of Paraportiani
• Windmills
• Manto Square

The programme

• Forget the chaos and fashionable location that attracts tourists, movie stars, artists and jet-setters: together with our guide we'll show you the other side of Mykonos, with its peaceful fishing village.
  

• Among the downtown streets, the color contrasts and the odd pelican strutting around, will ensure your photos get a stream of likes. Walk to Little Venice, a neighborhood of houses that look right out onto the Aegean. Once home to rich merchants, they are now the perfect location for an aperitif by the water's edge.

• Not far from here there are windmills: thanks to its position, Mykonos was the ideal place to mill the wheat traded from Venice to Asia.Enter the Orthodox church of Paraportiani. It's a fusion of four churches, above which a fifth was built.

Good to know

• This is one of the most popular excursions so book early.
