Yummy Pedals

White or red wine, produced by Mykonos Vioma farm, is offered at this tour, together with some treats. A tablecloth, a cooler for the white wine, glasses, lanterns and a blanket (for chilly evenings) are carried along by the guide.

Since it is a romantic escape, you will be left in privacy to enjoy each other’s company. As we cycle altogether back home, you will feel there’s nothing like this cool night breeze on your face, the serenity of the landscape and the unique feeling of precious moments spent in romance with your partner.

Mykonos is hilly, so it is inevitable encountering some hilly parts on the route. If you are intimidated by the inclines, you may also consider the option of renting an e-bike, i.e. a motor-assisted bicycle smoothening your pedalling and helping you conquer all terrain.

Route facts: Total distance: 8.8 km (5.5 mi), Elevation gain: 65 m (212 ft), Max elevation: 55 m (180 ft)

Then we continue our ride by the soothingly peaceful water of the reservoir of Ano Mera, before encountering the picturesque view of Fokos beach. As we coast down the last downhill before our destination we have the chance to admire this unique landscape and take some panoramic souvenir photos.

The inviting blue of the sea will certainly not leave you uninterested. You can also admire it during a short hike, as the hillside of Fokos beach will be calling you to its sunkissed (easy to hike) path, from where you can enjoy the magnificence of the Aegean sea and the wild landscape of Mykonos.

This is the easiest trail, but -because of Mykonos’s morphology- it is impossible not to have some hilly parts, especially on the way back. Nevertheless, the leisurely pace we follow allows each participant to cycle at their own pace and nobody gets the feeling of being left behind.

If you are still intimidated by the inclines, you may also consider the option of renting an e-bike, i.e. a motor-assisted bicycle smoothening your pedalling and helping you conquer all terrain.

It is indeed the ideal tour for culinary explorers who look for an easy-to-cycle outdoor activity.

The local delicacies of Mykonos are directly linked to its history and tradition. This tour invites you to both taste and learn the culinary tradition of our island. And don't forget one of the highlights of this tour: the local wine, produced by Mykonos Vioma organic farm!

The destination beach of Fokos, where we set our picnic, is an easily reachable, beautiful landscape. During the tour we will encounter some hilly terrain, but the leisurely nature of this ride will give you all the time needed to conquer these medium difficulty slopes at your own pace.

The relaxing time spent at the beach, the insight into our culinary tradition, the quality of the wine and the freshness of the local delicacies will certainly not disappoint you.

We first cycle at the rural part of the island –off-roading also through a winding single track- in Ano Mera, before visiting a family church, which will give us the opportunity to interpret Mykonos’ local traditions, typical landscapes and religious customs.

The village of Ano Mera welcomes us next with its traditional whitewashed cubic houses and its central square, where all the folklore events take place. The monastery of Virgin Mary Tourliani will impress you with its richly adorned iconostasis and its small but very interesting museum, whereas at the welcoming shade of a tree on the square we can take a short rest. Then we will cycle down to Fokos beach for a pleasant encounter with the Aegean Sea’s crystal clear waters or even a short hike along the cove. On our way back to the vineyard, we get challenged by the hill of Fokos and then follow a different trail to reach our ending point.
