The tour bus was late. The beach was really beautiful. My issue with this tour is that we were misled into thinking we would have 2 hours in the town. What actually happened was we were dropped off at the cruise port where we were picked up after three hours at the beach and told to walk to the old city as we were ‘already there’ (still a 10 minute walk). End of tour. So really this wasn’t a 6 hour tour. It was a 4 hour tour getting us to a beach and back. Pretty sure I could have taken cabs for cheaper.

We wanted sun, sea, and a chance to see the famous streets of Mykonos, and that's exactly what we got. The excursion was well organized but still left us with enough freedom to enjoy ourselves. A very pleasant way to spend a shore day.
We had an excellent time, alot of free time at the beach andykonos town. Dora was really nice and knowledgeable. Great excursion to replace the one from the cruise, 3 times cheaper.
We loved this experience. It gave us a great mix of Mykonos. The beach was clean and the food/drinks available were nice too. We were able to find the hotels website the day before and book front row beach beds because we didn’t want to worry when we got there (however it seemed like there were still plenty of beds available further back). There was so much to explore in the town we wish we had just a little longer. Christina our guide was kind, knowledgeable and very easy to talk to. Everything ran on time and the bus was nice and cool. Overall we would totally recommend this experience!
This was good. The beach was beautiful but be warned, the water will be cold! Also, could have been better without being disturbed every ten minutes with someone walking by while you are trying to relax to sell you jewelry, or clothes, or a bag. Overall, not too bad an experience but not as good as it could have been
Tour guide was very nice. Beach spot was not the greatest very small area of the beach designated for those that do not want to use chairs. So it gets crowded pretty quick. SunChairs were ridiculously priced at $40 euro per chair or $80 euro for a pair. Very rocky Sandy Beach. Not great if you want to walk the beach, barefoot. Old Port town of Mykonos was nice but shops are just duplicate, arranged items not that much variety. Overall, just an OK excursion
In just six hours, we swam in the Aegean Sea, took photos at the iconic windmills, explored Little Venice, and did some luxury souvenir shopping. It perfectly packages the very best highlights of the island without any wasted time.
The beach was beautiful and so was the town! We had plenty of time and the water was so clear! Everything was perfect!
Beautiful beach with restaurant and clean bathrooms - town was a bit long for us but you can jump on a sea bus for 2.50euros
This excursion is brilliant because it satisfies both the nature lover and the culture seeker. Spending the first half of the day completely unwinding on a golden beach and the second half exploring the historic town gave us the ultimate, well-rounded Mykonos experience.
Mykonos is *very* windy so expect to be "sand-blasted" at the beach. Spend the extra Euro to sit up front in the beach chairs. The town was charming. Eat at Captains. Great staff and food. Picturesque place
Overall, we enjoyed our beach day excursion to Elia Beach in Mykonos. Finding our guide was easy, as they were waiting immediately after we got off the ship, and the bus ride to the beach was smooth and uneventful. Elia Beach itself was beautiful, with crystal-clear water and excellent facilities. The restaurants and restrooms were very clean, and the food and drinks were delicious. One thing to note is that loungers and umbrellas are quite expensive, ranging from €50–70 for two loungers and an umbrella. Families with children should also be aware that the far right side of the beach caters to a more traditional European beach culture, so you may want to choose your spot accordingly. The biggest downside was the limited time at the beach. We only had about 2.5 hours to enjoy it due to traffic crossing the island and because two guests arrived late to the bus from their boat. Unfortunately, the return trip was somewhat disorganized when one of the buses was delayed, forcing the staff to split the group between a private van and the remaining bus. Despite the rushed schedule and chaotic return, the beach itself was beautiful, and we still had a very enjoyable day. I would recommend the excursion, but I wish there had been more time to relax at the beach and a smoother return process.
Booked this trip last minute while on a cruise, our cruise Hunter was late so we missed the beginning of the excursion. I reached out to the number listed on the reservation, the woman reassured me that there was another tour to be at the port at 1:30 a few hours later than our original time and it was a great excursion. We took a nice ride around Mykonos Island on a tour bus we went to a lovely resort and swim in the sea Michael our guide was fantastic. He even walked with us through the streets of Mykonos following the tour and gave us excellent pointers on history, restaurants, shopping, etc. highly recommend.
Gorgeous beach. Went over to the chairs on the right when we were dropped off and managed to get them for 20 euros each
Great day at the beach- beach was amazing. Next stop was the downtown, wonderful shopping and awesome Greek food. Perfect day- loved Mykonos, beautiful island!
Loved the beach time and she recommended a wonderful lunch spot. It was a special experience which our family wants to repeat.
The beach was lovely and it would have been much better to have been able to spend more time there -we only had 2 hours and we were taken back to the town which is lovely but we would have preferred more time at the beach
Good value for money. Professional. Perhaps more clearly articulated English would be appreciated to understand better
The beach is spectacular. Very clean and cold water, bring water shoes because it is all stones. Well organized. 3 full hours at the beach and 2 hours and something in Mykonos. Great
