After days of intense walking tours in Italy, spending the morning at a gorgeous Mykonian beach was exactly what my body needed. The facilities were top-notch, the water was refreshing, and the coastal scenery was like something out of a luxury magazine.
This team ensured we had optimal time at the beach and shopping time. This was great has we only had a few hours from our cruise to explore. They also got us back to the bus 30-45 minutes before time so nobody would get anxious about the ship leaving
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted you enjoyed having the perfect balance of beach time and free time to explore Mykonos. We know how valuable every minute is on a cruise stop, so we're especially pleased our team helped make the most of your visit while ensuring everyone returned to the ship with plenty of time and peace of mind. We hope to welcome you back again!
Great day. Our guide Elsa was knowledgeable and funny. She kept us on time and was super helpful offering to take a photo assisting my parents with information to help them navigate
Thank you for your wonderful 5-star review! We’re delighted you had a great day with Elsa. She’ll be thrilled to hear her knowledge, sense of humor, and thoughtful assistance helped make your experience so enjoyable. We hope to welcome you and your family back to Mykonos soon! 😊
This is exactly what it states. They met us off the cruise ship and took us to the beach. Elsa was a great host and talked to us about the area. They also took us to the town to walk around. I am still going to give this 5 stars because the company did everything they said in this excursion; however, it is a tourist area beach. You will need to pay for a chair on the beach and there were people coming around asking you to buy things. The food was more expensive than in town. Tourism is really important in Mykonos. Just realize it felt like a tourist beach.
Thank you for your thoughtful 5-star review! We're delighted to hear Elsa made you feel welcome and that you enjoyed both Elia Beach and your time exploring Mykonos Town. As mentioned in our tour description, beach chairs and food are optional extras provided by the beach venue, allowing guests the freedom to choose how they'd like to spend their time. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back again soon😊
Christina our tour guide was amazing, she was personable and very knowledgeable. Our Beach time and our leisure time in the town was just the perfect amount of time to enjoy Mykonos.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled you enjoyed your time with Christina. Her friendly personality and knowledge make every tour special, and we're delighted the balance of beach time and exploring Mykonos Town was just right. We hope to welcome you back again soon!
Dora was an excellent guide! Elia Beach was great for families, offered water sports (jet skiing, tubing, etc). The restaurant did not open for lunch until 12:30. We arrived at 10am and did not need to reserve bed/chairs in advance. Highly recommend for half day trip or full day. Great for families. . If you just want to sit on beach towels for free.. then could consider a beach by the port.
Thank you for your fantastic review! We're delighted you enjoyed your time with Dora and had a wonderful visit to Elia Beach. It's great to hear you appreciated the family-friendly atmosphere and all the beach has to offer. Thank you for your recommendation—we hope to welcome you and your family back to Mykonos soon!
