Getting a true feel for Mykonos often means wandering those maze-like streets, soaking up the vibrant energy, and discovering hidden corners that aren’t in every guidebook. This Mykonos Town & Brewery tour offers exactly that—an engaging blend of sightseeing and authentic local flavor with a focus on craft beer. It’s a balanced experience that combines the island’s scenic beauty with a behind-the-scenes look at how Greece’s traditional ingredients turn into modern brews.
What makes this tour stand out? We love the stunning views from windmills and Little Venice, the charming stories about Mykonos’ myths and legends, and the opportunity to taste four carefully crafted beers. The only caveat? If you’re expecting a full-day experience or a deep dive into Greek history, this might feel a little light on content — but it’s perfect for a relaxed, enjoyable half-day adventure.
This tour is ideal for travelers who want to combine sightseeing with a fun, educational tasting experience. If you’re curious about local culture, love discovering new beverages, or simply want a manageable way to explore Mykonos’ highlights, this could be a perfect fit.
