Your scenic day beach excursion and cultural experience begin with a pickup from your port destination with a stop at St. Ioannis. This small port area is where fishing boats disembark, and it got its name from a tiny church dedicated to St. Ioannis- also known as Saint John. Get your cameras ready to take Insta-worthy shots on the next stop on the golden sands of Ornos Beach. You'll also get a chance to get panoramic views of Mykonos airport's runway before passing through the countryside of Ano Mera Village, where locals farm and raise stock.

Head to Ano Mera Village Square and take a guided tour of the chambers of the 16th-century built Panagia Tourlianis monastery, which showcases beautiful whitewash walls and red-accented doors and windows.

Before proceeding with the Afternoon Walking Tour at 18:00, you have the option to relax for 3 hours at the farm, or the driver can take you back to Chora and meet you there at the designated time to begin the tour.

Your excursion concludes with a walking tour that takes you around Mykonos town to visit Manto Square, where you'll learn about the town's history from your expert guide and find the Manto Mavrogenous monument--the oversized monument of the Greek War of Independence heroine Manto Marvogenous.
