Once you arrive at your five star hotel, enjoy the infinity edge pool on your own private beach before setting out on your next adventure. In the late afternoon, discover the authentic side of Mykonos with this unique Jeep tour. Snap photos in spots like the Bay of Ftelia and Merchia Beach. Enjoy the off-road coastline with pristine views that are free from tourists. Take a dip in the pristine waters of Fokos Beach and Mirsini Beach and relax before heading back to your hotel. Finish off your once in a lifetime day, by having the hotel chef prepare a private dinner on the beach with fresh fish and local cheeses.
Day 5: Venture to Hora
In the morning take a shuttle into Hora (also known as Mykonos Town). Hora has an ancient center that’s a tangle of too-cute-for-words white-washed lanes and passages. The little Venice quarter dates back to the 17th century and exudes an intoxicating charm. Relax on the canal with a drink in bliss with your loved ones.
In the afternoon, go with your family, friends or partner on a private boat sailing around Mykonos and it's remote islands. Delos, Rhenia and some other rocky islets form a single island complex. Visiting these islets is a "must" for someone discovering Mykonos. Swim at these beautiful beaches with no one else but the party of your loved ones!
