You step off the ferry into the bright, wind-touched lanes of Mykonos Town; the Aegean breeze tugs at your hat and the town’s white facades throw sharp light across cobbled alleys. In four hours this private van-and-walk tour threads together the island’s most recognizable scenes—windmills silhouetted on a low hill, the narrow shopping lanes of Matogianni, the moody façades of Little Venice—and then pushes inland to the quieter rhythms of Ano Mera and out to the blue of Kalafatis Beach.
