1. See the iconic windmills of Mykonos

4. Boat trip to Delos Island
Delos Island is the hotspot of many of the treasures held in the Mykonos Archaeological Museum. Your clients can go straight to the source of Greek history by booking a boat trip from the Old Port in Mykonos town to the ancient Island. Delos is considered one of the most sacred islands in Greece, partially due to mythological beliefs.

With narrow winding streets through whitewashed houses, it is an amazing place to experience some authentic Mykonos culture.

7. Attend a traditional Greek Festival
A great way for your clients to immerse themselves in the culture of Mykonos Island is to visit a local festival. There are many different festivals held on the island, depending on the time of the visit. Clients may get the chance to feast at the Panagia Tourliani festival in Ano Mera or enjoy a traditional dance at the musical Harvest Festival. This is the best way to experience a piece of Mykonos culture.

Visiting the church of Paraportiani, locally known as Panagia Paraportiani is a must-see for your clients.
