Your driver-guide will share fascinating local stories of the island’s maritime history while pointing out the neighboring islands of Tinos and Delos on the horizon.

Monastery of Panayia Tourliani

What you will see: One of the most beautiful beaches in Mykonos, featuring soft golden sand and calm, crystal-clear blue water. What you will do: Your driver-guide will drop you off right by the water. You can walk along the sand, dip your toes in the clear sea, or sit down at a seaside café to enjoy a cold drink. (Note: Since this is a private tour, your driver-guide can easily take you to the nearby Kalafatis Beach also, if you prefer water sports and a more active environment!)

15 minutes here
The Windmills (Kato Milli)

Amazing
It was very good experience with MARCO OUR GUIDE REALLY ENJOYED WITH HIM
Response from the operator: We highly appreciate your review and are very pleased to know you enjoyed our tour of Mykonos. Warm regards from Marco.

Marko was great!
We all had an amazing time on this tour! Which can be difficult when your group consists of a 71, 47 and 12 year old. Marlo our driver was phenomenal and full of knowledge about the sights of Mykonos. An added benefit was that we were free to decide how much time we stayed at each sight. We never felt rushed and he ensured that we were versed in helpful tips for each site visited. Would definitely recommend to others. Nice way to spend a day in Mykonos!! Additionally, we were able to hire him the following day to get us to and from the beach. Did I also mention that his dinner recommendation for dining in town was phenomenal?!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this wonderful review! Marko was delighted to read your kind words. He always strives to give our guests the freedom to enjoy each sight at their own pace, and he is so glad his local tips and dinner recommendation hit the spot! It was a true pleasure assisting your family the following day for your beach trip as well. Thank you for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you all back to Mykonos in the future!

One of the best things to do in Mykonos
A private tour that our driver took us to see a couple of places, as we were staying in a beach resort far from town and without a car. The history, the stories, the little details that make a place actually interesting was the highlight. No rushing, no strangers, enough time to get to see the Lighthouse , Ano Mera village at your own pace. Honestly one of the best things we did in Mykonos using our visit.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We very pleased to know you enjoyed your tour of Mykonos with our driver. Wishing you a lovely summer holiday.

The local way to learn about Mykonos
We booked this tour as it was recommended from the hotel my friends stayed in. We had a lovely time with our friends and the driver was the best ever. Our friends got to see all the famous beaches and to learn about Mykonos history. They took took us to a lovely restaurant where we decided to have lunch. ( this was not included in the tour but we glad they recommended it.) Very clean car and professional careful driver.
Response from the operator: Thank you for the fantastic review! We are honored that your hotel recommended us. We have been providing trusted tours for hotel guests for many years now, and it is always rewarding to hear that our passion for Mykonos history and hospitality shines through. Safe travels, and we hope to welcome you back soon!

Discover Mykonos: Private Tour of Iconic Island Sights: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mykonos.
How much does Discover Mykonos: Private Tour of Iconic Island Sights cost?
+
Prices start at $154 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Mykonos usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Discover Mykonos: Private Tour of Iconic Island Sights take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Mykonos is not rushed.
Is Discover Mykonos: Private Tour of Iconic Island Sights worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Mykonos, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Discover Mykonos: Private Tour of Iconic Island Sights?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Discover Mykonos: Private Tour of Iconic Island Sights suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Discover Mykonos: Private Tour of Iconic Island Sights?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Mykonos can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Mykonos and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Discover Mykonos: Private Tour of Iconic Island Sights start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Mykonos within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Mykonos?
+
On Outty we rank every Mykonos experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Mykonos: Brand-New Catamaran Cruise with Meal, Drinks & Transport, Tour and Wine Tasting in Mykonian Land, Mykonos Small Group Tour for Cruise Passengers — Port Pickup. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Mykonos?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Mykonos?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Discover Mykonos: Private Tour of Iconic Island Sights?
+
Included: Private transportation; Bottled water; On-board WiFi; Booster seat; and Entrance to Monastery of Panayia Tourliani Admission included. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 312 listed pickup locations in and around Mykonos. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Discover Mykonos: Private Tour of Iconic Island Sights offered in?
+
It is offered in Greek and English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Discover Mykonos: Private Tour of Iconic Island Sights?
