Escape the bustle of Mykonos town for four hours of raw coastline—Neolithic views at Ftelia, quiet bays at Fokos and Mirsini, and a secluded final stop at Merchia with a light traditional lunch included.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the ferry or out of the airport into northbound sunlight and your driver already has the door open—this is a tour that moves you away from the crowds and into the island’s quieter edge. The road narrows, scrubby garrigue brushes the windows, and the Aegean blue stretches and dares you to look farther. Over the next four hours you push across windswept headlands to Ftelia, Fokos, Mirsini, Lia/Kalafatis vantage, and a final stop at Merchia—each bay offering a different mood of sand, rock, and sea.
