The island of Mykonos boasts of local people that are very proud of its traditions and that could keep its culture alive through many centuries of lively history. How did the Mykonians live and which traditions are being kept until today? Our excursion deals with these subjects.

Then we continue to the “House of Lena” where we can see the style of furniture and personal belongings of the family. Right next door there is situated the Nautical Museum with its beautiful ship models of various epochs, very interesting nautical instruments, old maps and the old light house from the north cape of Mykonos, Armenistis.


As the last highlight of our tour we go for a wine tasting to a Greek Restaurant.
