Breakfast at your hotel. After your Pickup from the hotel, we will depart at 10:30 a.m., starting from the port of Mykonos, to enjoy the tour around the island from a different point of view, full of traditional and authentic images and experiences. Our first stop will be at a very well-known site, which all the island’s visitors must see, to capture a panoramic Mykonos Town photo shoot. Following the picture taking, we will visit the picturesque small port of St. Ioannis, an area which was named after a small church dedicated to Saint Ioannis and one of great historical significance. We will visit the

church, along with the Saint’s cell, where the annual fair in his name is also being held. The small port in front of us is the starting point of the local fishing boats, which are protected here from the island’s strong north winds. Right afterwards, we will depart towards Mykonos airport, where we will have a panoramic view of the airport’s runway and perhaps, if we are lucky enough to catch a plane taking off or landing. Leaving the airport behind us, we will head towards Ano Mera Village and pass through an entirely different scenery, one of the island’s most typical agricultural and stock raising areas, where we will observe small local cultivated fields and even some domestic animals in local family-owned farms. We will head towards the Ano Mera village’s colorful square, where one of the island’s two monasteries is located (“Panagia Tourliani”), and we will be guided through its chambers. You can also take a glimpse at the nearby open-air market with vegetables and other local products. After capturing all these images of the Mykonian countryside and its lifestyle, we will reach the farm of the Mykonian Spiti, where we will be guided by our escort and always under the direction of the farm’s superintendent. Whoever wishes may also use the farm’s tools and get involved with the farming work and tasks in cooperation with the superintendent. Take this opportunity to get closer to the domestic animals and experience the farm’s traditional organic cultivation methods. A light snack lunch will be offered to all visitors, consisting of local products from the conventional farm itself. As we continue our tour, we will be passing by some of the most distant beaches of Mykonos, named “Kalo Livadi”, “Kalafati”, and also see” Agia Anna”. At the end of the tour, we will drive you back to your hotel or the location of your choice.
