MYKONOS ORIENTATION AND FREE TIME Savour some free time to explore Mykonos on your own before your Trafalgar representative leads an orientation tour through the cobbled streets of Chora. You’ll see the five churches of Paraportiani and the Folklore Museum, which was once a captain’s mansion. Continue past the old port towards Little Venice, admiring its 18th-century whitewashed fishing houses with cerulean blue balconies that look out over the bay. Then head up the hill and see the Windmills of Kato Mili that have stood as a Mykonos landmark since the 16th century. Keen shoppers will adore a visit to Matogianni, the main shopping street in Chora, which we’ll visit before passing the Three Wells. Stop for a quick drink of its magical waters to secure your stay on the island, then enjoy the rest of the evening at leisure. As the sun sets over Mykonos, there’s no better place for sunsets paired with cocktails than the Peningrakis Castle’s 180 Degrees Sunset Bar. Claim your front-row seat and watch Mother Nature at its best before joining your fellow travellers for dinner at a local restaurant. (BB, RM)
