Mykonos on Foot

Approximate Duration: 2,5 hours Mykonos town Arguably the best known of all the Greek islands, Mykonos is renowned today for its nightlife and lively beaches.
Following the Greek War of Independence, during which Mykonos played a significant role, life settled down for a while before it was "rediscovered" as a beautiful location for filming, attracting actors, artists and jet setters.
Today, both the lifestyle and true history of the island are showcased through this walking tour of unique Mykonos town.
First you will visit the Mykonos Archaeological Museum, which houses pottery from Delos, and some grave stelae and jewelry from the Island of Renia, the Delos necropolis.
Among the museum's highlights is an exhibit of a pithos, or Minoan storage jug, which features a Trojan War scene in relief, and a statue of Hercules.
Continue your walk with an exploration of Mykonos that tourists seldom see, and discover her mysteries amid narrow winding streets lined with whitewashed houses and walled gardens.
Discover the town's deliberately confusing layout, designed as a means to foil attacking pirates.
The nearby windmills, an island trademark, once ground wheat that was used to bake bread for islanders and sailors alike.
Now they stand as symbols of the island and afford a wonderful photo opportunity.
Finally, do as the Mykonians and enjoy a refreshment of ouzo with some traditional mezedes before returning to your ship.
