Continue by meandering through the cosmopolitan “Matoyiannia” Street and indulge in the beautifully harmonious blending of the quaint sugar-polished buildings and designer boutiques.
Soon enough, you will encounter “Cine Manto”, the only open-air cinema in Mykonos, which also happens to be home to the mascot, Petros the Pelican. Don’t forget to trade off some fish for a selfie!
Heading towards the end of the tour, take a step into Giora’s Medieval bakery, the oldest working wood-fire bakery in Cyclades, operating since 1420. Feel free to taste amazing baklavas and Greek pies!
