People don’t really think of Mykonos as a place to be for hikers. This is probably because there are not so many designated routes and you must try to discover the beauty of Mykonos by finding your way in Mykonos hinterland and shores. Most of Mykonos visitors don’t think of spending their holidays in Mykonos walking into the nature but this is one of the most interesting activities to do! Today we suggest some routes and ideas for hiking in Mykonos.

Start from the Ftelia Bay Boutique hotel and discover the nearby archaeological site of the area and the dam before heading to the bay of Ftelia to enjoy swimming and relaxing under the sun! Visit also the Monastery of Paleokastro and ask at the reception for more details.
