Things to do in Mykonos Town, South Aegean: The Best Historical & Heritage Tours

March 3, 2022 Osvaldo Hartline

Classic whitewashed buildings line the labyrinthine streets of Mykonos, the largest town on the Greek island of the same name. Matoyianni Street is particularly charming. Iconic 16th-century windmills keep watch over the village from the hills above, and the fully functional Boni Mill is part of the Mykonos Agricultural Museum. The Aegean Maritime Museum and the Folklore Museum will give you a proper introduction to the area’s rich cultural and economic history.

What a fantastic tour! I loved every single moment! Claudio was a fantastic tour guide with so much knowledge and it was very interesting hearing about the lesser explored Mykonos. I saw the light house, went to a beautiful bay in Panormos, traditional Ano Mera village where we had excellent food at The Fisherman. I saw a disused mine on a gorgeous beach and stunning churches and beautiful caves and also a few beaches I wanted to get to which I’d not been able to get to before. It was a perfect day and Claudio is a credit to Kyklomar. I have used this company twice now. Once visiting Tinos Island with Valentina which was AMAZING and then this jeep safari. If you are thinking of using them, please do, they genuinely care for their customers and they are flexible and amenable to make your trip perfect! Thank you to George for the courteous service when I visited your offices and via email and another big shout out to Claudio, who felt like a good friend by the end of the trip. Bravo sas!

The tour was really good and it was my sister and I only for the evening tour (turning into a private tour...win). Got to see the top places in the town and little Venice. Then we drove around the island. We also stopped at one of the beaches for a drink (they changed the location to suit what we would like) and later stopped at one of the restaurants for some apperitifs. This restaurant had the best tzatziki and politiki I have ever tasted. Lastly they took us to the top of the hill in the evening for a night photo of Mykonos with the lights lit up. The tour should have ended a little earlier but the last stop was a nice little bonus to round up the tour. I truly recommend!

This experience was the highlight of our time in Mykonos. The food was amazing - home grown or made on Matt, our host’s, granddad’s farm. We also loved that we were getting off the beaten track and discovering the chapel and sights up in the mountains. Matt was accommodating, knowledgeable and made sure we all had a great time. We actually went in July 2019 but I took too long in making the review so couldn’t select that date. But it was too good not to share!

This city tour was very interesting and fascinating. I liked to hear all the knowledge and information our tour-guide Viviana could provide us with. She did this in a very good way, so we didn't felt to be in school, but together with a very good friend who knew a great deal about everything we saw around us. In this way also a very good start for our 2 weeks in Palermo to know, where we would like to explore more o go back to. Thank you very much Viviana, that was just marvellous! François + Esteban

We had with them all the transfers, from the airport and back, to the port and back and also private transfers. Everything was above expectations! Very easy communication, directly on whatsapp, they always answered on time and helped us with any details. We had a big sprinter, because we were a big a group, but also a small E Class, for the transfer of 2 people. The cars are all very clean and luxurious, the drivers drive very well and we felt safe. I highly recommend luxury services !!!
