A Journey Through the Heart of Mykonos
Your adventure begins with a seamless hotel pick‑up in a comfortable, air‑conditioned bus — a service thoughtfully arranged by TPO.Travel for your convenience. Our expert guides will introduce you to the sights, stories, and traditions that make Mykonos a truly captivating destination.
First Stop: The Port of Saint Ioannis
The journey starts at the picturesque harbor of Saint Ioannis. Named after a historic church dedicated to Saint John (or “Ioannis” in Greek), this area is rich with heritage and serves as a vital link between the island and its seafaring traditions. Here, colorful fishing boats bob gently in the harbor, and the salty sea air welcomes you to a quieter, more serene side of Mykonos.
Through Ornos Beach and Mykonos Airport
Next, we make a quick stop at Ornos Beach, a favorite spot for photographers seeking picture‑perfect moments of the island’s coastline. As we continue, we pass by Mykonos Airport, offering a unique vantage point for a panoramic view of the runway.
Authentic Ano Mera: The Heart of Rural Mykonos
As the journey unfolds, we head inland towards Ano Mera, one of the island’s oldest and most traditional villages. This area offers a captivating contrast to the bustling energy of Mykonos Town. Surrounded by farmland and rustic landscapes, Ano Mera captures the timeless charm and slower pace of rural life.
Here, you’ll stroll across the quaint village square and visit the monastery of Panagia Tourliani, a sacred site dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Our guides will walk you through its serene corridors, highlighting its beautiful architecture, religious icons, and rich heritage that have shaped the spiritual life of the island.
A Taste of Tradition at the Mykonian Farm
From Ano Mera, your journey will take you to a traditional Mykonian Farm, where you can immerse yourself in the daily rhythms of rural life. Here, you’ll have the chance to explore the farm, learn about the agriculture and traditions of the island, and connect with its heritage. The Mykonian Farm showcases the slower, more intimate side of the island, providing an enriching experience for those seeking a deeper connection with Mykonos.
Return to Mykonos Town and An Evening to Remember
As the sun sets, we return to Mykonos Town — a bustling, picturesque area that shines under the warm glow of twilight. Here, you’ll be guided on an enchanting evening walk through its winding alleyways, lined with boutiques, cafés, and historic landmarks.
Stroll along the cobblestone streets, admire the iconic windmills, and soak in the romantic atmosphere that has made Mykonos one of the Mediterranean’s most sought‑after destinations. The old harbor and the famous Little Venice area, with its colorful buildings perched right by the sea, provide the perfect backdrop for memorable photographs and quiet moments of reflection.
