When visiting Mykonos on a cruise, you want to make the most of your time on the island. We have created this tour around the places we believe are worth seeing during a short visit.

You will visit three of the main highlights of Mykonos: Armenistis Lighthouse, Ano Mera village and Mykonos Town. At the lighthouse, enjoy one of the best views over the Aegean Sea. In Ano Mera, see a more traditional side of the island and visit Panagia Tourliani Monastery.

As Mykonos is also famous for its beaches, we include two very different beach stops. Visit Kalafati, a popular and developed beach, and Fokos Beach, one of the quiet beaches loved by locals.

Your driver was born and raised in Mykonos and knows the island well. Along the way, you can stop at great photo spots and taste a local Greek pastries an pies. The tour is also fully flexible, so you can adjust the time and stops to suit you.
