A low, warm wind pushes across the whitewashed facades as the tour vehicle eases out of Mykonos Town. Within minutes the road opens to rock-scrubbed hills and flashes of turquoise; the driver-guide points to a distant chapel, then to a comb of windmills on the skyline. This four-hour private loop concentrates the island’s varied characters—open beaches that dare you to take a dip, a lighthouse that demands a camera, and a village square where daily life keeps its steady rhythm.
