Bicycle Tour
If you want to discover Mykonos off the beaten track and do something fun at the same time then you should do a bike tour with Yummy Pedals. We decided to do the Fokos Tour which is great for average riders like me. We met our guide Dimitra on a beautiful morning.
After collecting our bikes and going through some safety measures we embarked on our 10 km ride across the islands beautiful countryside. On our way we stopped at a traditional private church where Dimitra explained the religious traditions of Mykonos.
Our final destination was the beautiful Fokos beach where we enjoyed homemade muffins and lemonade. During the summer months you can enjoy a swim on the beach as well. More advanced riders can continue their way to the neighboring Myrsini beach. Yummy Pedals offers many bicycle tours around the island.
