For Cruise Ships: Beach Escape And Free Time In Mykonos Town

This was so much fun. Picked us up right at the dock. Bus was comfortable. The fact and info was great. The tour guide was wonderful. We loved the beach it was beautiful. The food and drinks were a bit pricey but really yummy. It was just enough time and then back to the town. Great to browse. We had 3 60 somethings and a 25 and 30 YO and it was a great day.

The guide said it was too cold and offered us something we didn't want. We should be receiving a full refund.

It was a wonderful tour and our guide was excellent very polite and knowledgeable. Highly recommend.

Great day! Elsa was amazing and friendly and very helpful with getting people organized. Taking pictures for everyone also. Great beach

Hello Viator, Elsa our tour guide was a very informative, very cordial host. With so many wonderful details about our trip to Mykonos we were very entertained. Her care for us while we were on the beach at Eisa meant we lacked nothing that would make our trip complete.. Well done, Elsa. Hope to return soon in the future Regards, Laura Huggins Sent from my iPhone

We were supposed to be picked up at 11:00 we waited from 10:30 we did not meet our tour guide till 12:30 and the tour was over at 2:30 I think Viator has to get better communication between the tours and where the people are to be picked up.

Elsa is such a wonderful guide. Very kind, organized, humble and helpful . As soon as you exit the cruise terminal she is there to meet you with the flag and guide you to the tour shuttle . Everything was punctual and on time. We enjoyed our tour. We had 2 young children and 7 adults. Everything was comfortable.

Great combination of beach time and time to explore Mykonos City. Elia is a beautiful beach and while waiting for the bus, had great snacks and a perfect view. Elsa was a great guide and made sure we knew the updated departure time when it was changed to give us more time at the beach.

Our tour guide was fantastic! We had a great day at the beach. Chairs and drinks were kinda pricey but when in Greece you just enjoy!

Beautiful beach. Clear, calm waters. The beach was rockier than I was used to. I wished I had packed water shoes. We booked sun beds directly from the hotel’s website, but I would recommend reaching out to the tour group to hear about additional options. Our guide Elsa was fabulous. She offered to take pictures, stayed with us in case we had any questions, and gave great restaurant recommendations in town.

Quick, comfortable bus ride to Elia Beach where we had 3 hours to enjoy the lovely private beach/resort area. There was a restaurant/bar, small souvenir shop, CLEAN washroom/changing room and all the facilities were well maintained. We rented two loungers with umbrella & table, which they had many available, but a bit pricey at 80€ for 3 hours. However, the one down side was the constant harassment by beach peddlers, attempting to sell knock-off purses/bags, dresses, caps, etc. If that doesn’t bother you, you will have a lovely day. If you prefer not to be hassled, I would suggest going elsewhere. After the beach, we opted to go back to our cruise ship and did not do the shopping part because we had been to Mykonos previously. They were very kind and had no problem dropping us off at the port early. All in all, a very good value if you want to see the beach and do a bit of shopping.

This was a good way to see two parts of the island, relax and learn some facts at the same time. Our tour guide Andrea was wonderful and I would love to have had time to do another tour with her.

The company was great! Due to boat tenders, we weren’t sure if we would make the 9:30 time so I contacted them and they immediately switched us to the 11am time. We ended up getting there just before 9:30 and they put us back on our original tour. The beach was nice but we were surprised because instead of sand with shells it is some sand and a lot of rocks. We rented 2 chairs with an umbrella which I recommend. There is a nice restaurant with bathrooms there and waiters do walk around the beach chairs so you can order food and drink. The water is clear, beautiful and a little chilly but you get used to it quickly.

Great beach day. Wish I knew once there I’d have to purchase my chair and umbrella. Different areas are different prices. Also wish there was a better walkway to the less expensive chairs. Current is strong, a little difficult to get in and out of the water when you’re older. All in all a great day at the beach. Bus drive was another story. The drive back was loud music, blinking of lights, I didn’t care for, more of a party atmosphere. Driver seemed to want to be part of the party scene. Would have preferred more info on the island.

Elsa exceeded all expectations ensuring everyone had the best time on this Elia beach and Mykonos group excursion. She gave lots of excellent island history, shared “best of” suggestions and looked out for us the entire time. She went out of her way to make sure we didn’t get ripped off on beach beds rental costs and minimum spends. What a wonderful guide and resource for local restaurants, pharmacy and souvenirs. Count yourself lucky to have her as your guide!

Elias beach was nice, water was clear, and sandy rather than rocky. Would have loved to have more time in town. Loved the little alleyways filled with restaurants and small shops.

Fantastic tour operator. Professional and informative. Amazing driver and comfortable coach. Great beach, comfy sun loungers and fab cocktails. Really enjoyed our visit.

Are tour guide read off a piece of paper and then never gave any explanation for anything else these. When she dropped us back at old town she didn’t explain anything about the windmills where to find them just said walk straight 10 minutes. I felt like we could’ve taken a taxi to the beach and back a lot cheaper than what we paid for the tour and there would’ve been no difference

It wa an excellent experience. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly.The city and the beach were beautiful and clean.

Attention to everyone the whole tour is a full range scam please do not book the store for anybody. We were told a completely different information from what we really received. We were supposed to have a beach experience and also time in Mykonos town. Apparently the beach experience is a very expensive beach that you cannot really enjoy unless you pay €80 extra per couple for chairs and an umbrella otherwise you may as well choose another Beach, which is much closer the time and town did not even happen. We were brought back exactly to where we got picked up and were told by the provider, but the tour guide, which is not really to provide a person who was with us on the bus that we can walk if I would like to town, which I don’t understand why would we book the tour to do that? We could’ve totally do that on our own I am actually going to request my full refund back because the tour did not meet any description that was given to us.

Great experience! Short bus ride to a beautiful beach. Crystal clear water, restaurant, drink service, loungers, changing rooms, and a bathroom. Then time to spend in old town mykonos. Our guide Elsa was so hopeful and friendly. Tips on best restaurants, and discounted loungers at beach. Skip the cruise ship beach transfer. This was half the price and a much more enjoyable experience!

Relaxing day at the beach, great food and lots of shopping.. Definitly worth taking this trip. Michael was a wonderful guide and very informative

Unless you purchase chairs for $35 euros - you must lay on the sand. Not worth it for three hours. I’d pay for an entire day. Beach isn’t very navigable. Stone plates with little sand. You can’t swim or hang out. There are several public beaches on your walk-through Mikonos. You consider lay on any of them for free. If you just take a free shuttle provided by the cruise line to the port, you can visit the beach wherever you want.

If you're coming on a cruise, this is a great relaxing way to enjoy Mykonos. Buses are comfortable and you don't have to worry about transportation. Beach club was lovely and the food was great. For the best deal on sunbeds, walk further down the beach. Shopping village is right by the Port. Nice selection and pricing was fair for Mykonos.

Mykonos is beautiful & this tour lets you experience it well. Christina, our guide, was knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend especially if you're coming from a cruise ship and want to leave like you've experienced Mykonos.

Our tour guide was wonderful. She explained the history of Mykonos. Once we got to Ella beach, she stayed with us at the beach, took pictures for us and nade sure we had everything we needed.

As we navigated through Mykonos, we not only rode the island but also visited its historic sites. From the top of the island to the bottom and everything in between this wasn’t an experience but an adventure. The beach views were breathtaking.

Great time at the beach, food and drinks a little pricey but to be expected. Enough time at the beach and in the town! Enjoyed this tour!

Demi was kind and so informative as our guide. She kept us on track for the perfect Santorini exploration/beach day and truly made the experience better than we could anticipate. 10/10 highly recommended!

On a hot day this was exactly what we needed! The water was so cool and refreshing and clear! Tour guide made sure we right on time to go back to our cruise. Highly recommend!

The trip was good! The beach club was nice and the transport to town was great! Too many vendors bothering you at the beach selling their wares! Not a viator problem but the beach. Club should find a way to limit that. The town was amazing!

Elsa was the best tour guide and photographer! Mykonos tour was a great choice to get BOTH beach and shopping.

Great tour of Mykonos! Perfect for family and kids, great recommendations for food in town. Perfect English speaking and so much history and information about Mykonos highly recommend!

The best thing about the day was having time to actually enjoy each place. We weren't rushing through the beach or racing around town trying to see everything. We had time for swimming, photos, lunch, and a relaxed walk through the famous streets. Exactly how a holiday day should feel.

Outstanding excursion, fantastic tour guide. Highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to experience Mykonos beaches and shopping

Amazing experience! Beach was awesome clear water, just fantastic! Tour guide was great! Would definitely do it again!

Beach is windy in the morning but gets warmer as the day goes on. Dress appropriately for the wind. The beach is nice and bathrooms clean. Very pleasant experience.

Mykonos Greece it’s a beautiful island. It was one of our stops on a cruise ship so we had a limited amount of time. The first step was a beach, which was very beautiful. However, be prepared to spend money on chairs. You can use a towel near the water, but the tide came in and anyone who did that had to go back behind all the chairs which limited their view of the ocean. The bus does bring you later on to the beautiful town of Mykonos Greece. It’s an absolutely beautiful town with Carlos small streets that you can explore. I would’ve loved to have had more time but of course we needed to get back to the ship. This tour is a great way to be able to swim in the in the ocean and experience a very pretty queen Greek town. Make sure you walk to the windmills. There’s an absolutely beautiful view from that and it’s a close walk.

Andrea our TourGuide was increíble she gave us a nice explanation on how the island worked from the 50s until now. Elia is such a beautiful and miconos town so nice too.

The beach was beautiful, but honestly, the free time in Mykonos Town was my favorite part. We walked around without a strict schedule, stopped for coffee, looked through the shops, and took way too many photos. It was a simple excursion, but it gave us exactly what we wanted from our stop.

Elsa our tour guide was so sweet and funny. The beach she took us to was beautiful. The town itself was pretty.

Elsa our host was amazing she treated each guest like we were her own family. The beach was breathtaking and she gave us a a history of this beautiful island during our journey. I highly recommend This tour and hope you are lucky enough to have Elsa as your guide

The trip itself was good value and the guide very knowledgeable. However, everyone needs to be aware the sunbeds on Elias Beach are expensive at 80 Euro for 2, no sharing allowed and NO half day rates offered. There is a slightly reduced offer on the right hand side which was 75 Euro for 2 providing you spent 20 euro ordering drinks. There is a lovely cafe bar on the beach with shaded seating and we spent our time and money there. Mykonos town was a 10 minute stroll from the coach park. We wandered the lanes and made it to the windmills we had a meal on the harbour front. Then rather than walk all the way back to the coach we opted for the sea bus directly back to the ship for 2.50 Euro’s each. Very good value

Guide was very approachable and helpful. Loved the beach time and information that was provided to us. Was a relaxing day.

This was a great tour! We relaxed for a few hours on a beautiful beach, then went into town to shop and eat lunch. It was the perfect way to spend a relaxing day in Mykonos!! And our guide, Elsa, was fantastic!

The tour bus and guide met us right at port. She was extremely knowledgeable and proud of her island. Dropped off at Elia beach club. The beach was gorgeous! After a couple hours, we were brought to Mykonos town. It was a perfect day.

Our guide Elsa was wonderful! The information she provided between our stops was a great bonus. The beach was spectacular and the stop in town was timed well. If you’re not used to a rockier beach, make sure to bring water shoes. The water was idyllic. She was mindful of our cruise gangway up. Thank you!

Excellent chilled trip. Lovely beach getaway, but sunbed s quite expensive. Would have been perfect if not bothered constantly with hawkers trying to sell stuff, which was VERY excessive and VERY annoying. Sufficient free time to eat and explore Mykonos old town
