Food & Wine

Food tours in Mykonos Town tend to work the back streets rather than the harbour front, stopping for local cheese, cured meats, pastries and a glass of something from the Cyclades. Cooking classes are usually held at farms or private homes outside town and end with lunch or dinner of what you made.

Wine is a smaller story here than on Santorini, but there are producers on the island and tastings often pair Mykonian wine with local products. Expect the experience to be as much about the setting — a courtyard, a farm terrace — as the glass.

These are good choices for a windy day when the boats stay in port, and for anyone who wants a version of Mykonos that isn't a DJ set.
