The experience
Can you ride an ATV if you've never done it before? Yes, the activity suits all fitness levels, and you control the pace on trails that stay far from the crowds. The route threads through the island's quieter inland side: Ano Mera, a 16th-century monastery village with whitewashed buildings and narrow cobbled streets; Ftelia, a windsurfed beach on the northern coast that stays tranquil even in peak season because of the wind; and Kalafatis, a large beach with golden sand and clear water on the southern side. You stop at panoramic spots along the way, and the timing means you're riding as the light changes.
The ride ends at Agios Ioannis, the beach on Mykonos's southwest coast where the sunset is exceptional and the view stretches across the channel to Delos. Armenistis Lighthouse, built in 1891 and still functional, stands on the northern edge: a landmark that marks the island's maritime history and offers scenic views of the surrounding landscape. Private transportation gets you to the start and back, and you carry bottled water for the three to four hours in the saddle.
Choose between riding two to a vehicle or one per ATV at checkout. The single-rider option gives you full control and no shared weight on the machine. The two-person setup splits the cost and works well for couples or friends who want to ride together. Either way, you need a valid license and the willingness to handle the bike on dirt and gravel trails.
Top questions
What is Armenistis Lighthouse and why does the route stop there?
Armenistis Lighthouse was built in 1891 and still operates today on Mykonos's northern coast. Its strategic position offers scenic views of the surrounding landscape and the sea, and it stands as a marker of the island's maritime history: worth the stop for photos as you ride past.
Is Ano Mera just a village, or is there something specific to see there?
Ano Mera is home to Panagia Tourliani, a restored 16th-century monastery in a whitewashed complex with a striking bell tower and marble fountain. The village sits inland with narrow cobbled streets, bakeries, tavernas and cafes on outdoor terraces, and walking trails that lead into the rocky hills around it.
What's the difference between Ftelia and Kalafatis beaches on this route?
Ftelia is on the northern side and stays quiet even in summer because strong wind is almost always blowing there. It's isolated and tranquil. Kalafatis is on the southern coast, a large beach with golden sand and crystal-clear water, and trees that offer natural shade. It's more of a classic swimming spot.
Why does the sunset matter on an ATV ride?
The route is timed so you're riding as the light changes and the sun sets over the channel between Mykonos and Delos. Agios Ioannis beach, where the ride ends, is known for an exceptional sunset view, and you stop at panoramic spots along the way for photos as the landscape shifts color.
Do I need ATV experience to book this?
No. The activity suits all physical fitness levels, and you control the pace on the trails. You do need a valid driver's license and the ability to handle the machine on dirt and gravel terrain.
