Jeep Mykonos Adventure

About this activity
After your pick up from your hotel or your cruise ship(*), we will depart in the morning at 10:30 a.m. starting from the old port of Mykonos, to enjoy the tour around the island from a different point of view, full of traditional and authentic images and experiences. Our first stop will be the picturesque small port of St. Ioannis, an area which was named after a small church dedicated to Saint Ioannis and one of great historical significance. We will visit the church, along with the Saint's cell where the annual fair in his name is also being held. The small port in front of us is the starting point of the local fishing boats which are protected here from the island's strong north winds.

Right afterwards we will depart towards the Mykonos' airport, where we will have a panoramic view of the airport's runway and perhaps we are lucky enough to catch a plane taking off or landing. Leaving the airport behind us, we will be headed towards Ano Mera Village and pass through one entirely different scenery, one of the island's most typical agricultural and stock raising areas, where we will observe small local cultivated fields and even some domestic animals in local family owned farms.

After capturing all these images of Mykonian countryside and its lifestyle, we will reach the farm of the Mykonian Spiti, where we will be guided by our escort and always under the directions of the farm's superintendent. Whoever wishes may also use the farm's tools and get involved with the farming work and tasks in co-operation with the superintendent. Take this opportunity to get closer to the domestic animals and the farm's traditional organic cultivation. A light snack lunch will be offered to all visitors, consisting of local products from the traditional farm itself. 

Next we will head towards the Ano Mera village's colorful square, where one of the island's two monasteries is located ("Panagia Tourliani") and we will be guided through its chambers. You can also take a glimpse at the nearby open air market with vegetables and other local products .

As we continue our tour, we will be passing by some of the most distant beaches of Mykonos, named "Kalo Livadi", "Kalafati" and "Aghia Anna". Our next destination will be the abandoned establishment of the now inoperative mines of Mykonos. Until some years ago useful lignite was extracted here from the soil to be used in various ways. Up next we will reach the beautiful narrow streets of Mau, at the end of which the Mykonos dam is located, constructed to meet the needs of the island in water.

Then, we will proceed to a very well known site where almost all the island's visitors have made a stop, in order to capture a panoramic Mykonos Town photo shooting. Following the picture taking we will drive you back to your hotel or a location of your choice.

Anastasia was our tour guide. She took us all over in her Jeep. From the amazing views, the beaches to the town of Ano Mera. The farm was great! We saw their animals, their vegetables and the snack of home made feta cheese with olives was fantastic! Definitely recommend this tour!

Let me begin by saying that the name and description of the tour is a bit misleading. I was expecting to have a Jeep that was lead on a tour of the island that was off the beaten path. The 4wd adventure would be different from other tours. The fact that they insist you have a drivers licence or pay an up-charge sort of reinforced the idea. That being said we were picked up in an old Range rover which we shared with a another couple as well as the tour guide. It was cramped to say the least, as well as hot. The other couple also had the same impression that this was not a shared ride. When we questioned the tour guide about this, she made a call to her boss and she relayed the message to us that there are no other jeeps and this was the way its supposed to be. If we knew this we would of booked a tour in an air conditioned van of which was from the same company and went to the same places at the same time as us. The tour itself was good . Mykonos is a beautiful island. The white buildings against the blue sky and water is breath taking. We rode around the Island and saw the beaches, the coast and the country side. Took advantage of the stops to take some great pictures . The stop at the monastery was nice . The next stop was at a farm where we saw how the farmer was attempting to grow grapes for wine as well as his small collection of donkeys, sheep and goats. We were then able to taste his local vegetables as well as his homemade feta cheese and stuffed grape leaves. We also tasted his local sprits. Over all it was a good tour, just not quite what was advertised. I would skip this tour and book something with AC and leg room.
