Your scenic day beach excursion and cultural experience begin with a pickup from your port destination with a stop at St. Ioannis.

You'll also get a chance to get panoramic views of Mykonos airport's runway before passing through the countryside of Ano Mera Village, where locals farm and raise stock.

Head to Ano Mera Village Square and take a guided tour of the chambers of the 16th-century built Panagia Tourlianis monastery, which showcases beautiful whitewash walls and red-accented doors and windows.
