If you want to experience the traditional side of the island, you’ll make it to the village of Ano Mera. It is the one and only village of Mykonos that still holds its authenticity, located just 8km from Mykonos town. In the center of the village you’ll find coffee shops and tavernas with delicious food and of course the monastery of Panagia Tourliani, which is worth visiting.

If you love chasing sunsets, then you must already know that a sunset with watching is in Little Venice. However, the locals suggest another wonderful spot! From the lighthouse Armenisti, you can watch the breath-taking sunset while also overlooking the Aegean and Tinos island.
