Private Mykonos Countryside & Tasting Tour
A scenic journey through Mykonian villages, coastlines, and local flavors — entirely on your terms.
This private Mykonos countryside tour combines an unhurried drive through the island's lesser-seen interior with a personalized tasting experience drawn from local wine, craft beer, or premium olive oil. It is designed for travelers who want both landscape and culture woven into a single half-day outing. The private format means the pace and focus adapt entirely to your group.
Mykonos is far more than its famous whitewashed streets and beach clubs. Inland, the island opens into quiet villages, centuries-old monasteries, and coastal vantage points where the Aegean spreads out in every direction. This tour gives you a grounded look at that quieter side of the island.
The tasting component anchors the experience in local production. Whether you choose a guided olive oil tasting at Melisses Retreat, a selection of Cycladic wines, or a flight of locally crafted beers, each option is rooted in the agricultural and artisanal traditions of the region. Your guide provides context that connects what you taste to where you are.
The tour also passes through Mykonos Town itself, covering Matogianni Street, Little Venice, the Paraportiani Church, and the iconic windmills. These are stops many visitors rush through independently — having a local guide alongside changes how you see and understand them.

Itinerary
The tour begins with sweeping views of the Aegean Sea and the surrounding Cycladic islands. This elevated vantage point serves as an ideal first photo stop and sets the visual tone for the journey ahead.
You visit Ano Mera, the only inland village on Mykonos, centered around its traditional town square. The 16th-century Panagia Tourliani Monastery stands at the heart of the village and offers insight into the island's religious and architectural heritage.
A stop at Kalafatis Beach allows time to relax beside clear, calm water on the island's quieter eastern shore. From here, the Divounia hill formations are visible offshore — two natural shapes traditionally said to resemble the figure of Aphrodite rising from the sea.
Your guide leads you through the winding lanes of Matogianni Street and into the Kastro neighborhood, passing Paraportiani Church and the waterfront buildings of Little Venice. The route concludes at the iconic row of windmills overlooking the harbor.
A final scenic stop offers panoramic views over Mykonos Town and the Old Port, where traditional fishing boats are moored in the bay. This vantage point provides one of the most characteristic views of the island.
You select your preferred tasting in advance — local wine, Cycladic craft beer, or the olive oil experience at Melisses Retreat. Each option is led by knowledgeable producers or hosts and reflects a different aspect of Mykonian culinary culture.
