Top Mykonos Half-day Tours - page 16

Excellent tour of Mykonos with Marios our tour guide. He is a native of Mykonos and was an excellent resource to show us the island. He showed us an excellent restaurant right on the water that was not at all busy and seemed to be filled mostly with vocals. It was excellent food and an excellent view. We were able to see many of the beaches, the lighthouse, monastery and smaller towns. He also showed us some of the large estates and gave us the history of the island.

Konstantin texted via WhatsApp with picture of himself/car so we could easily find him - was on time and off we went. Tour listed about 6 beaches - we were OK with that, but he had better plans in mind. He took us to old town, showed us sea bus back to boat later (if we wanted to use it), little Venice, windmills, and walked the narrow streets (passages) of old town Mykonos. Then drove up to the lighthouse, which offers beautiful views of the sea and surrounding islands. He had plenty of tidbits of info to share with us and was pleasant to talk to throughout our journey. He made sure we had bathrooms when needed (he said give him a little notice so he could plan). We stopped for a snack/bathrooms at a coffee shop on the way back across the island, then to a beach where he gave us a little time to walk in the sand and take pictures. He had wet wipes to clean sand off our feet when we returned. He grew up on Mykonos and Delos, so he knew the island and people well. Shared a lot about the culture, but didn’t talk nonstop, and was great to answer questions. He asked at several points if we wanted to just drive by something, take a pic, or get out and walk around - very accommodating and so glad we booked!

Our tour guide Sheila was incredible. Very knowledgeable about the history behind Mykonos and able to share a lot of interesting information about the locals and the best spots to go while in town. Definitely recommend for anyone who wants a tour without feeling lost in a large group of people. All the food we tried was excellent as well! Best experience I have ever had on a tour.
