What you'll see and do
The Windmills (Kato Milli)
The iconic windmills are the most recognizable landmark of Mykonos. Perched on a hill overlooking the Aegean Sea southeast of Chora, they were built primarily in the 16th century by the Venetians to mill wheat using the island's strong winds. Though no longer operational, they are beautifully preserved and serve as one of the best spots for photographs, especially at sunset.

Little Venice
Little Venice is one of the most picturesque and photographed neighborhoods in Chora. It earned its name from the 18th-century captain mansions built directly on the water's edge, featuring colorful wooden balconies. Historically used by sailors and merchants, these homes have transformed into atmospheric bars, cafes, and restaurants offering front-row views of the sea and sunset.
15 minutes here
Church of Paraportiani
The Church of Panagia Paraportiani is a world-renowned architectural monument located in the Kastro district of Chora. It is an extraordinary complex made up of five distinct churches fused together: four form the base (Agioi Anargyroi, Agios Sozon, Agios Vasileios, and Agia Asteia), while the fifth (Panagia) rests above them like a dome. Its name derives from its location next to the paraporti (the side gate) of the medieval castle.
15 minutes here
Matoyianni Street
Matoyianni Street is the central artery of Chora and the heart of Mykonos's cosmopolitan scene. This narrow, stone-paved alley is lined with luxury fashion houses, international design boutiques, jewelry stores, and stylish bars. Throughout the summer, it buzzes with energy day and night, making it the prime location for shopping, strolling, and people-watching.
15 minutes here
Faros Armenistis
Located on the northwestern tip of the island in the Fanari area, the Armenistis Lighthouse stands 19 meters tall and was constructed in 1891 following a tragic shipwreck off the coast. Set against a dramatic, rugged landscape overlooking the strait between Mykonos and Tinos, it offers a tranquil escape with panoramic ocean views and stunning sunsets.
20 minutes here
Ano Mera
Ano Mera is the second-largest settlement on Mykonos and its only inland village. In contrast to the fast-paced life of Chora, it retains a traditional, relaxed, and authentic Cycladic atmosphere. The central village square features traditional tavernas serving local dishes, alongside the historic Monastery of Panagia Tourliani.
20 minutes here
Monastery of Panayia Tourliani
Situated in the main square of Ano Mera, the Monastery of Panagia Tourliani was originally founded in 1542 and restored in 1767. It is famous for its intricate marble bell tower and a handcrafted wooden iconostasis carved in Florence. The monastery also houses an ecclesiastical museum displaying rare icons, holy vestments, and historic relics.
20 minutes here
Kalafatis
Kalafatis Beach is a expansive stretch of golden sand and crystal-clear waters located on the eastern side of the island. Fringed by tamarisk trees, it is especially famous among water sports enthusiasts and is considered the island's premier destination for windsurfing due to favorable breezes. Fully organized with sunbeds, restaurants, and sports centers, it offers a energetic yet family-friendly vibe.
15 minutes here
Kalo Livadi
Kalo Livadi is one of the longest, widest, and most popular beaches on the southeastern coast of Mykonos, situated between Elia and Kalafatis. Known for its soft golden sand and shallow, calm turquoise waters, it offers a spacious setting that caters both to families seeking relaxation and visitors looking for upscale beach clubs. Fully organized with luxurious sunbeds, seaside restaurants, and water sports options, it strikes a comfortable balance between a lively, stylish ambiance and a laid-back coastal retreat.

Mykonos Old Town And Island Highlights Private Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mykonos.
How much does Mykonos Old Town And Island Highlights Private Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $137 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 Mykonos Old Town And Island Highlights Private Tour take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Mykonos Old Town And Island Highlights Private Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 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 Mykonos Old Town And Island Highlights Private Tour?
+
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 Mykonos Old Town And Island Highlights Private Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Mykonos Old Town And Island Highlights Private Tour?
+
Around 0 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Mykonos Old Town And Island Highlights Private Tour 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 Mykonos Old Town And Island Highlights Private Tour?
+
Included: Bottled Water; Pick Up And Drop Off; Mykonos Map; Air-Conditioned Vehicle; and All Fees And Taxes. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Mykonos Old Town And Island Highlights Private Tour include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 7 listed pickup locations in and around Mykonos. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Mykonos Old Town And Island Highlights Private Tour offered in?
+
It is offered in German, English, Italian, French and Spanish. 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 Mykonos Old Town And Island Highlights Private Tour?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Mykonos Old Town And Island Highlights Private Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
