Save your money and catch a cab

1.00This is nothing more than transportation to the beach and back to the boat. You can catch a cab cheaper. There is no tour on the way with narration and we had to pay $70 for our beach chair. We were picked back up and transported to the old dock where you can walk around a bit of town. This offers no island information and can be done on your own which would allow for more beach time.
Mykonos Beach & Town

4.00We decided to have a relaxing day and spend half at a beach and then tour the town. The beach our tour guide took us to. It was absolutely beautiful! The water was an incredible shade of blue. The water is chilly but feels amazing once you get in. The only unfortunate thing about Mykonos are the winds. The winds were 30 mph (up to 41 mph gusts) so the sand was blowing the entire time. Once we left the beach, we went into town. The town was very cute. There were lots of shops and places to eat. We had some of the best pizza I’ve ever had and the Greek wine was wonderful.

4.00It's ridiculous that we sit here waiting cause people can't get to the check in on time. Your company needs to leave and they can figure it out on their own ....every trip we wait on people

5.00I think the title of this tour is a perfect description. Lucy, our tour guide, was very informative and entertaining. We enjoyed our time at Elia Beach-a lovely beachfront paradise. We were fortunate to have a sunny day and we enjoyed the lovely town of Old Port. I thought this was money well spent as we definitely got alot of this tour.
