Armenistis Lighthouse

The Armenistis Lighthouse stands as a historic beacon on the northwestern tip of Mykonos, offering panoramic views of the Aegean Sea and the nearby Cyclades Islands. Built in 1891, this picturesque lighthouse is a popular spot for visitors seeking a tranquil escape and breathtaking sunset vistas.

Ano Mera Monastery

The Ano Mera Monastery, officially known as the Monastery of Panagia Tourliani, is a significant religious landmark located in the village of Ano Mera, at the heart of Mykonos. Founded in the 16th century, this beautifully preserved monastery is renowned for its striking architecture, intricate marble fountain, and a remarkable collection of icons and religious artifacts housed within its museum.

Elia Beach

Elia Beach in Mykonos is the island's largest beach, famous for its extensive stretch of fine white sand and clear turquoise waters. It offers a mix of luxury and relaxation with well-organized facilities, including sunbeds, umbrellas, watersports, and beachside dining, making it a favorite among both locals and tourists.

Kalo Livadi Beach

Kalo Livadi is one of the longest beaches in Mykonos, renowned for its fine, golden sand and crystal-clear waters, situated in a serene bay. It's a popular destination for families and those looking for a relaxed beach experience, with a well-organized setup including sunbeds, umbrellas, and a selection of beach bars and restaurants.

Kalafatis Beach

Kalafatis Beach is one of the longest and most scenic beaches in Mykonos, known for its crystal-clear waters, golden sand, and relaxed atmosphere. Located on the island’s eastern coast, it is a favorite spot for water sports—especially windsurfing—thanks to the steady Aegean breeze. Compared to the party beaches of Mykonos, Kalafatis offers a more tranquil setting while still providing organized sunbeds, seaside tavernas, and beautiful views of the open sea.

Fokos Beach

Fokos Beach is one of the most untouched and peaceful beaches in Mykonos, located on the island’s quiet northern coast. 

Surrounded by rugged hills and natural scenery, it offers crystal-clear waters and a calm atmosphere far from the busy beach clubs.

Ftelia Beach

Ftelia Beach is a wide, sandy bay on the northern coast of Mykonos, famous for its steady winds and excellent windsurfing conditions. The beach combines a relaxed, bohemian atmosphere with stylish beach clubs and beautiful views of the Aegean Sea. With its natural scenery and lively yet laid-back vibe, Ftelia is a favorite spot for both water-sports lovers and visitors looking for a trendy beach escape.

The Windmills

The Windmills of Mykonos are an iconic feature of the island's landscape, standing majestically on a hill overlooking Mykonos Town and the Aegean Sea. Dating back to the 16th century, these historic structures were originally used to mill wheat and have become a symbol of the island's rich past, now serving as a picturesque backdrop for photos and a reminder of Mykonos' heritage.

Little Venice

Your day will start with a visit at Little Venice in Mykonos, a charming and picturesque neighbourhood, famous for its medieval houses with colourful balconies perched on the edge of the sea. It's a popular spot for stunning sunset views, offering a vibrant mix of art galleries, cafes, and bars along its scenic waterfront.
