What to do and see in Mykonos, South Aegean: The Best City Tours

August 5, 2021 Tynisha Seiler

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.

For my 35th birthday this september I reserached and researched the web to find the best cruise to take with my friends for an sunset experience. After thoughtfully comparing all the companies I decided to contact and book with Ari. They have been so service minded, responded quickly, listened to my wishes and found solutions. I was so much looking forward to this trip! However Covid-19 happened and unfortunately I had to cancel the trip to Greece and therefore contacted Ari again. Once again, even though they are suffering from these hard times and cancelled trips, they showed me nothing but understanding, service minded and fast replies again. We were able to find a solution and even though we are not coming this year, I am certain that when (not if) Im actually able to go to Mykonos I will book a cruise with them. Loyalty and high service is very important to me, therefor I would personally really recommend them. Best of luck, I hope to see you soon!

This was our second time in Mykonos as this was a stop on our Mediterranean cruse. So instead of booking a shore excursion, we just walked around the port area, shopped, and had some snacks and a drink. It's a lively place in high tourist season.

Tafalgar took us all around to see the must-sees. However, I would not use this company again. Local guides were promised, but not provided. The stays at supposedly 5 star hotels were ok, but the rooms did not even have facial tissue or wash cloths. Free time for lunch meals was not a free time. We were taken to a spot, often in the middle of nowhere and had to make due with the menu there. Time allotted for some attractions, like the Acropolis Museum, were for only 1/2 hour - barely time enough to get in the door.

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!

Highly recommend this tour of Greece if you want to see some of the highlights - Athens, Mykonos, and Santorini. There are many transfers (from airport to hotel, hotels to ferries, etc), and this tour helped to make them seamless. There was a great level of flexibility, and at the same time the schedule also made sure you got to see what you were hoping to see. For example, in Santorini, there was a full day tour, which included a winery, beautiful views, and Oía at sunset (aka the gorgeous view that everyone has photos of)- if we had been on our own, it would have been challenging to get back to the hotel after staying late at Oía, though thanks to the tour we just hopped on a bus.

The Ultimate Souvenir. Mykonos is the cosmopolite gem of Aegean Sea with picturesque alleys, whitewashed miniature chapels, and perfect blue seas and skies! Whether you’re jet setter, a cruise visitor, or an alley wanderer, Mykonos is full of pleasant surprises. It is so exciting since you are already visiting the island to cherish everything: the locals, culture, natural beauty, and poetic language. The best way to capture these moments is by booking a Mykonos Photo Tour. I am glad that you are with me for this journey.
