According to the legend, there’s an island constructed from the petrified remains of giants slaughtered by Hercules, named after Apollo’s grandson. This island is the well-known Mykonos.

Cosmopolitan but no less charming, Mykonos gathers college students, families, and celebrities that share the desire to spend the Greek summer on this island where beauty meets simplicity.

This whitewashed paradise offers enough alternatives for those who are looking for a good time with plenty of entertainment but also for the ones that want to learn about the island’s history and traditions.

Designed for travelers who chase genuine, non-touristy moments, this tour lets you discover not only the natural beauty of Mykonos but also its rich culinary and wine traditions firsthand. The route is easy to manage, with only occasional hills, so you can comfortably bring your whole family or invite less athletic friends along. As you cycle through the countryside, you pause at a small chapel where your guide shares insights into local customs and stories that reveal the island’s character. The ride continues along the peaceful reservoir of Ano Mera on soft earth terrain, gradually leading you toward the serene, non-touristic beach known as the “Kissing Rocks,” where Mykonos feels wonderfully untouched.

At Fokos beach, you settle into a relaxed seaside picnic spot, the perfect setting to enjoy homemade local delicacies and the highlight of the tour: organic Myconian wine. Weather permitting, the crystal-clear waters invite you in for a refreshing swim, with your guide happy to capture fun underwater images; if swimming is not ideal, an easy trail along the hillside offers a scenic walk with panoramic views of the Aegean and the dramatic rock formations. Though some hilly stretches appear along the way, the pace remains unhurried, giving you ample time to climb at your own rhythm and simply savor the feeling of experiencing Mykonos like a local.
