Mykonos is perhaps the most famous of the Greek islands. It is renowned today for its nightlife and beautiful beaches. Mykonos had substantial influence during the Greek War of Independence before it was rediscovered as a picturesque location for filming.
Set out on a panoramic drive past the quaint villages of Ioannis, Ornos and Kalafatis.
Continue to Ano Mera — perhaps the most traditional of the island's villages. Here, you will see the Monastery of Panagia Tourliani from the outside. It is dedicated to the protector of Mykonos and was founded in 1580. However, the building you see today dates back only to the 18th century.
At the main square of Ano Mera, enjoy a taste of ouzo — the local licorice-flavored liqueur — and a mezedes snack of Greek specialties.
Return to the port afterward.
Notes:
The monastery is viewed from the outside only; there is no inside visit.
