You step out by the old port and the island’s wind seems to push you forward — toward whitewashed alleys, sea-bright windows, and a rhythm that alternates between busy and perfectly calm. This four-hour loop stitches together Mykonos Town’s postcard corners with a short countryside drive: windmills and Little Venice; the angled archways of Paraportiani; a stroll down Matoyianni’s shopping alleys; then a cool, rural pause in Ano Mera before the southeast shoreline of Kalafati Beach.

Sun protection is non-negotiable
