What you get
About this experience
Discover the best of Mykonos with a perfect balance of relaxation and exploration. Begin your journey from either Tourlos New Port or the Old Port and head to Elia Beach, one of the island’s most stunning stretches of golden sand and crystal-clear water. Here you’ll have around three hours of leisure time—swim in the Aegean, unwind on the beach, try out exciting watersports, or simply enjoy a refreshing drink or snack at a seaside taverna. Afterward, transfer to Mykonos Town at the Old Port, where you can choose to begin your own self-guided discovery. Wander the maze of charming streets, explore boutique shops and art galleries, and admire iconic landmarks such as the Windmills, Little Venice, and the Paraportiani Church. At the end of your visit, you’ll board your transportation for the return to Tourlos (New Port). Guests who prefer may remain in Mykonos Town to continue exploring and make their own way back to their cruise ship or accommodation.

Great beach and town visit
We had an excellent time, alot of free time at the beach andykonos town. Dora was really nice and knowledgeable. Great excursion to replace the one from the cruise, 3 times cheaper.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted you enjoyed plenty of time at Elia Beach and Mykonos Town. We'll be sure to share your kind words with Dora. We're also happy you found our excursion a great-value alternative to the cruise line tour! 😊

Loved it!
We loved this experience. It gave us a great mix of Mykonos. The beach was clean and the food/drinks available were nice too. We were able to find the hotels website the day before and book front row beach beds because we didn’t want to worry when we got there (however it seemed like there were still plenty of beds available further back). There was so much to explore in the town we wish we had just a little longer. Christina our guide was kind, knowledgeable and very easy to talk to. Everything ran on time and the bus was nice and cool. Overall we would totally recommend this experience!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted you enjoyed the perfect mix of beach time and Mykonos. It's great to hear you loved the beautiful beach and had everything arranged for a relaxing day. We hope to welcome you back again soon! 😊

Ok beach day
This was good. The beach was beautiful but be warned, the water will be cold! Also, could have been better without being disturbed every ten minutes with someone walking by while you are trying to relax to sell you jewelry, or clothes, or a bag. Overall, not too bad an experience but not as good as it could have been
Response from the operator: Thank you for your review! We're glad you enjoyed the beautiful beach and your overall experience. We're sorry the frequent beach vendors affected your ability to fully relax, as this is outside our control. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back for an even more enjoyable visit to Mykonos in the future! 😊

Beach excursion
Tour guide was very nice. Beach spot was not the greatest very small area of the beach designated for those that do not want to use chairs. So it gets crowded pretty quick. SunChairs were ridiculously priced at $40 euro per chair or $80 euro for a pair. Very rocky Sandy Beach. Not great if you want to walk the beach, barefoot. Old Port town of Mykonos was nice but shops are just duplicate, arranged items not that much variety. Overall, just an OK excursion
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad you found your tour guide friendly and enjoyed your time in Mykonos Town. We understand that beach preferences vary, and we're sorry Elia Beach wasn't exactly what you were hoping for. The sunbed prices are set independently by the beach venue, and guests are always welcome to use the free public beach area. We appreciate your comments and hope to welcome you back for another experience in the future.

Great variety in a single day
In just six hours, we swam in the Aegean Sea, took photos at the iconic windmills, explored Little Venice, and did some luxury souvenir shopping. It perfectly packages the very best highlights of the island without any wasted time.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your fantastic review! We're delighted you were able to experience so much of Mykonos in just a few hours. From the beautiful beach and iconic windmills to Little Venice and the charming town, we're so glad you made the most of your visit. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back again soon!

Why this scores 68
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Shore Excursion Relax at the Beach and Explore Mykonos Town: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mykonos.
How much does Shore Excursion Relax at the Beach and Explore Mykonos Town cost?
+
Prices start at $34 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 Shore Excursion Relax at the Beach and Explore Mykonos Town take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Shore Excursion Relax at the Beach and Explore Mykonos Town worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 17 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 Shore Excursion Relax at the Beach and Explore Mykonos Town?
+
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 Shore Excursion Relax at the Beach and Explore Mykonos Town suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Shore Excursion Relax at the Beach and Explore Mykonos Town?
+
Around 6 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Shore Excursion Relax at the Beach and Explore Mykonos Town 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 Tour and Wine Tasting in Mykonian Land, Local Tour with Cruise/Hotel Pick-Up(Small Group or Private), Catamaran Day & Sunset Cruises with meals Drinks and transportation. 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.
