Excursion offered by Windstar cruise. We were taken to the local guide and she was really good. We rode in a small van with a small group from the ship. First stop was a local cheese farmer at his house where his business is also located. Very good tasting of cheese. His name is George and he spoke about his background, how he got into the cheese making business and was very personable and fun. He also gave a history of how cheese making evolved on the island. On to the wine tasting next. Another wonderful speaker, Athena, who is a young sommelier, and also is very personable, knowledgeable and fun. The tasting is of three Greek wines and a generous plate of cheese, meats and some bits of fruit. Next we were walked to the town by our guide and given directions to shop in what they call the alleys where no cars are allowed. You find many little shops of clothing, shoes, art work, jewelry and restaurants. Great souvenir shops with well made items. You have all afternoon until 5:30 when the last tender goes to the ship. A highly recommended tour.
very informative, fun, and food was very very tasty. we also had a great view as well as rides were given to us. 10/10 would come back!
My family all really enjoyed a wonderful Greek home cooking experience hosted by Georgios and Francesca. They were the perfect hosts, taking us through the delicious meal we made which we ate overlooking a beautiful Mykonos sunset - highly recommend!
George & Katarina are fantastic. We highly recommend. Mykonos is a beautiful city. The bakery was amazing. The views are breathtaking.
The itinerary is more of a suggestion since it's a private tour. You can choose if you would like to go to a location or not and spend extra time somewhere. The end of our tour we were taken to the owner's place and it has such an amazing view. It feels like a very personal experience and getting to talk to the tour guide is fun. I would definitely recommend if you are looking to experience what Mykonos offers.
Very personal and exploratory experience. From walking and shopping to experiencing different foods and sweets we had a wholistic experience.
