Top 10 Historical & Heritage Tours in Mykonos, South Aegean
If the mention of Mykonos doesn’t immediately bring to mind bright white buildings, turquoise skies and tanned bodies lining golden sandy beaches, you’ve been living under a rock. The most popular Greek Island in the Aegean Sea is all about energy and attracts a diverse and upscale crowd that thrives on its stylish nightlife. During the day some privacy can be had in the more secluded north beaches, but the south beaches are all party. Ski, jet-ski, windsurf, horseback ride, parasail or just save up your energy for the evening ahead, like most of your fellow travelers in Mykonos.

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!

6. DELOS, the island of god Apollo
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 13 reviews
Delos is one of the best preserved ancient towns, a rival to Pompeii. For the people back then Delos was very special, as they believed it was the birth place of god Apollo. Today people who visit it can get an idea of the life back then, by seeing the ancient houses, temples, shrines, the theater, and more. An interesting detail is that all the houses of Delos were fitted with bathrooms, and a sophisticated system of sewers would take the used waters to the ocean. Delos was the first Duty Free place in history, as well as the first melting pot. It was also famous as a slave trade center, and the visitor will see, among other things, the big slave market. The guide will narrate the history of the place from the prehistoric times, to the archaic period, to the Athenian domination, to the Roman occupation, to the present day. The Museum houses exceptional artifacts, and things of everyday use, discovered in the private houses. Finally, Delos is a paradise for photographers.
Inclusions: The tour guide

We purchased the tickets by the pier for the tour for Delos, the tickets were 20 Euros. We thought this was a reasonable price, little did we know that we were only paying for the boat transport there. We were surprised with a queue and an additional charge of 12 euros, this was poorly communicated so took us and a lot of others by surprise. Other than that it has good historical content but there is only so much you can see there. After an hour we had seen everything we needed to see and went back to the boat to wait for an hour before departure. Wouldn’t say it is a must see.

There is a lot to see: having been inhabited between 2500 and 69 b.C. Delos boasts of many treasures remaining from these times like the ancient market place Agora, the famous terrace of the Naxos lions, the holy lake, the ancients living quarters and theatre that give you a lively vision of the daily life then; especially the houses of Dionysos, Kleopatra, the Trident, the Masks, the Dolphins with their mosaics are a fantastic experience of art not to be missed. Furthermore there are the Temple of Isis, the Egyptian goddess, the Roman water system and cisterns and the wonderful museum with plenty of breathtaking mosaics, statues and many more objects found during the excavations.

A wonderful and relaxing cruise. Beautiful islands visited and an opportunity to snorkel and swim on a couple of the islands. Even got to see some dolphins! Great stocked up bar and Maria was very informative - and talented - with her translation from 4 languages on the guided tour! Don’t miss this one!

A testimony to Mykonos' maritime history, the Armenistis lighthouse stands proudly overlooking the island of Tinos. Still a fully functioning lighthouse, this landmark is a must-see! At the location of "Fanari" which translates to "lantern" in Greek, the scenic coastal road also offers some of the most spectacular views on the island just 6.5km from Chora.

Had a 90 walk around and run down of the best bars, popped into a church, learnt a bit about a statue and a few other things. Lacking dates historical detail, this was a walking tour for people that maybe don’t want to much info, in retrospect it was a waste of money. And having done a walking tour in most places around the world I’ve visited it’s just not a great standard. The people were very lovely but that’s about the best I can say. The guide smelt bad and we got comments by passes by which was actually embarrassing.
