Mykonos Island Private Tour: Beaches & Ano Mera Village

Ano Mera Village sits inland with its own monastery and local taverns, a different Mykonos from the southern beaches.

A private half-day tour of Mykonos with a personal driver and air-conditioned vehicle, fully customizable to your interests. Visit Agios Ioannis Beach for panoramic photos, pass Panormos and the quiet Agios Sostis, stop at Ftelia's windsurfing waters, explore Ano Mera Village with its monastery of Panagia Tourliani, and see Kalafatis (the only tree-lined beach on the island) plus Kalo Livadi's sandy stretch. The tour ends with photos from panoramic spots around Mykonos Town.

The experience

Mykonos Town is the anchor, but this tour builds itself around the quieter northern and eastern beaches most visitors skip. You travel in a private vehicle with bottled water and air conditioning, which means you set the pace at each stop instead of following a group schedule. The driver knows where the light works best for photos and which beaches have the fewest crowds at different hours.

Agios Ioannis Beach opens the route with a photo stop at a panoramic viewpoint. From there the itinerary moves through Panormos on the way to Agios Sostis, which the operator notes is among the quietest beaches on the island because of its distance from the busier southern coast. Ftelia has become a prime windsurfing spot year-round, so you'll see the water and the activity without the noise of a crowded resort beach. Ano Mera Village breaks the beach rhythm entirely. It's inland with local taverns, cafes, and the monastery of Panagia Tourliani, giving you a sense of how Mykonos residents actually live.

The southern loop includes Kalafatis, the only beach on the island surrounded by trees and one of the largest, followed by Kalo Livadi, a long sandy beach with shallow water and a beach club if you want to stop. The tour ends with another panoramic photo stop as you return toward Mykonos Town. Pickup is included, and you can adjust which stops matter most to you before you go.
