Wander through Matoyianni Alley

Taste pastries at a medieval wood oven bakery

Sample Greek delights at a family-owned delicatessen

Explore the waterfront at Little Venice

Visit the iconic Windmills
A short climb brings you to the famous Kato Milli windmills perched above Mykonos Town. These whitewashed cylindrical structures once ground wheat for the island and now stand as Greece's most photographed landmark. -

Devour souvlaki at the best spot in Mykonos
Now comes the main event at a beloved local souvlaki restaurant. Bite into a warm wrap stuffed with tender gyros, fresh tomatoes, onions, and cool tzatziki sauce while your guide explains why this spot has earned its reputation as the best on the island. -

Your tour ends at the Old Port
Your tour finishes at a cozy cafe overlooking the historic Old Port.
