Explore the streets of the most fabulous island of the Aegean streets and experience the true beauty of Mykonos. On this 3-hour guided walking tour, you will see and visit main sights as well as underappreciated ones not seen by many tourists. Hotel or port pickup and drop-off is included.Mykonos is a popular and a world known famous destination, due to its cosmopolitan lifestyle and the variety of visitors from all around the world that it attracts. However, there is much more that this beautiful island has to offer, apart from its nightlife and the popular reflective images of the rich and the famous. Mykonos' traditional way of life is dearly reflected within its city limits, inside of which is an authentic walking tour throughout some often unappreciated sites by many of its visitors. Have an opportunity of a lifetime to experience first-hand the true beauty of the Mykonian town, by walking through its history and re-living some of its past memories.
Walk down the Mykonian history "alley", through which our guide will accompany you and share his knowledge and stories, after you have been collected from your pick-up location (usually your hotel or the cruise-ship port), go to the well-known location of the Archaeological museum and the Remezzo club (where the entrance of the old town is), close to the old port, which is the starting point of the walking tour.
Walking down the coastal paved road, you will pass Manto Square, where the famous monument of Manto Mavrogenous stands, a Greek heroine of the Greek War of Independence. Right after you will head down the famous Matogianni area, where you will find clothing and footwear shops of famous fashion brands and you will see attractions such as the 3 wells, the home of Manto Mavrogenous' mother and the Maritime Museum. From there you will continue your walk, by passing the traditional "Gioras bakery", an underground and old wooden stove, still operational until today where you will be treated a traditional bakery's product and a refreshment, before you head towards five windmills in a row, which still stand proudly as a local attraction, after their operation was paused. Crossing the narrow winding paths, through the castle of the Chora and the Scarpa area where 'Little Venice' is located, which is famous for its picturesque medieval two- and three-story houses (you will have 15 minutes free time here), you visit the elaborate church of "Panagia Paraportiani", one of the most famous architectural structures in Greece and get to see the Folklore Museum.
Finally, head back to our starting point and pass by the famous Agios Nikolaos church at the old port.
