Discover the Magic of Mykonos Chora on Foot

A walking tour through Mykonos Town, known locally as Chora, is the only way to truly experience the 'Island of the Winds.' Designed as a labyrinth to confuse marauding pirates in centuries past, these narrow, winding alleys are now home to high-end boutiques, vibrant bougainvillea, and historic landmarks. Our partner tours take you beyond the typical tourist paths to discover the 16th-century Boni's Mill, the uniquely structured Panagia Paraportiani church—one of the most photographed in the world—and the romantic waterfront of Little Venice. Whether you are looking for a professional photo shoot, a sunset stroll, or a deep dive into Cycladic history, our curated selection of tours offers something for every traveler.

Insider Tips

Fun Facts

Perfect for Cruise Passengers

We only had a few hours in Mykonos and this 2-hour walk was perfect. We saw everything we wanted and got back to the ship on time.

Bellissimo but Wear Good Shoes

The town is beautiful but the marble streets can be very slippery. The tour was great but definitely wear sneakers, not sandals!

Great Brewery Stop

We did the tour that ended at the brewery. It was a great mix of history and a nice cold beer at the end. Highly recommend.

Informative and Fun

Not just a walk, but a storytelling session. We learned about the pirates and the local architecture that we would have missed on our own.

Beautiful Sunset

The sunset tour is a must. Seeing the windmills glow orange was the highlight of my Greek vacation. Just be prepared for crowds.

Excellent Private Tour

We opted for the private highlights tour. It was slow-paced and perfect for my elderly parents. The guide was very patient.
