Begin Your Adventure: The North of Mykonos
Your safari experience starts with a convenient pick-up from your hotel. After a quick briefing by your guide, you’ll hop into a luxurious 4×4 and set off for the first stop of the day — the famous Mykonos Lighthouse (Armenistis Lighthouse).
Perched high above the Aegean Sea, this historic landmark offers a spectacular panoramic view of the surrounding islands and the coastline of Mykonos. The sheer beauty of this site is captivating. As you stand beside the lighthouse, breathing in the fresh sea air, you’ll quickly understand why Mykonos has inspired countless writers, photographers, and travelers throughout the years.
From here, your journey continues to the serene area around the lake of Marathi and the traditional village of Ano Mera. This part of the island showcases Mykonos in its quieter, more authentic light. Here, time slows down, and you can admire traditional architecture, peaceful landscapes, and the charm of rural Cycladic life.
Another highlight in this area is the old Venetian fortress of Paleokastro — a relic of the island’s rich history. Its ruins stand proud, surrounded by olive trees and overlooking a beautiful expanse of sea and land. The site is ideal for capturing timeless photographs and gaining an understanding of the island’s heritage.
The Scenic East Side and Its Hidden Wonders
After exploring the north, your 4×4 will take you across the island to its picturesque east side. Here, you’ll find a fascinating and unexpected site: a deserted mine. The mineral-rich area showcases a surreal natural beauty — the rocks, shaped by time and colored by the earth’s natural elements, range in shades from deep reds and browns to soft yellows and whites.
This lunar-like landscape provides an intriguing contrast to the blue waters and traditional architecture that dominate other parts of Mykonos. It’s a perfect spot for those who love nature, photography, or simply moments of quiet reflection in an extraordinary setting.
If you wish, you can pause for lunch in one of the traditional local tavernas located nearby. Here, you’ll have the chance to taste the authentic flavors of Mykonos — from freshly baked bread and olive oil to classic Greek dishes like moussaka, souvlaki, and a crisp Greek salad. This is more than a lunch break; it’s an opportunity to experience the warmth of Greek hospitality and the richness of its cuisine.
The South Coast and Its Pristine Beaches
With lunch complete and spirits refreshed, it’s time to climb back into the 4×4 and continue your adventure to the southern coast of Mykonos. Renowned for its beautiful, sandy beaches, this area offers a tranquil setting ideal for a quick dip or a relaxing walk along the shore.
While popular beaches like Paradise and Super Paradise attract crowds, your expert guide will lead you to quieter spots that only locals know about. Here, you can swim in crystal-clear waters and soak up the sun in serene surroundings — a moment of pure relaxation that captures the essence of the Greek islands.
Return with Memories to Last a Lifetime
After exploring the best of Mykonos by 4×4, your adventure will conclude with a comfortable drive back to your hotel. As you bid farewell to your guide and the sights you’ve witnessed, one thing is certain: this experience will remain etched in your heart long after you’ve departed from the island.
