Nestled in the heart of the Aegean Sea, the small island in Greece doesn’t just offer stunning windmills, party beaches, and vibrant nightlife. Its natural beauty is waiting to be discovered, and the best way to do it is on a bike tour of Mykonos. The trip takes you through the wonders of paradise. All tourists need to do is hop on a bike, strap on the helmet, and pedal through the breathtaking landscapes.
First, You’ll Need a Bike – Rent One From Local Bike Shops on the Island
The excitement of arriving at the JMK airport and waiting to find a pair of wheels to cycle around the island can be overwhelming. The joy of the adventure is well-known among bikers. However, not knowing where to knock and rent a bicycle could spoil the fun.
One of the best shops for renting bikes is the Bike Center in the Argyraina neighborhood. They offer bicycle rentals for tours of the latest generation so that the ride is smooth and enjoyable just like a cruise. Additionally, tourists are offered bookings and equipment along with the bicycle. If you want to book your bicycle in advance, you can do this online.
Not a Hiking and Biking Kind of a Person? Consider Going on an Electric Bike Tour of Mykonos
If you are not an adventurer ready to take on the steep roads and hilly areas of The Island of the Winds, you’d likely be more comfortable renting an electronic bike instead of a regular bicycle.
E-bicycles’ average speed is 27 km/h, and it includes a display that features the distance you’ve driven and the battery information. For anyone who is more eager to relax while cycling and visiting a secret beach, we recommend renting an e-bicycle.

What to Bring With You When Cycling Around the Island for an Entire Day?
When embarking on a full-day cycling adventure around the island, it’s important to come prepared with the right essentials. Here’s a list of items to bring along for a smooth and enjoyable journey.
- Light and breathable clothing: Make sure that the clothes don’t make you regret riding a bicycle while the sun is beaming down.
- An appropriate helmet: Safety comes first and the best way to protect yourself from nasty injuries and ruining your vacation is by wearing a helmet.
- Sunscreen: A great addition to a backpack is sunscreen which would protect you from the sun’s rays. This is also a great addition if you plan on visiting a beach as well.
- A water bottle: It’s of utmost importance to remember that hydration is key, so pack a water bottle, and stay refreshed along the entire route.
- Equipment for capturing beautiful landscapes: Pack a camera, phone, selfie stick, and a GoPro camera if you want to film while riding. Capturing the beauty of the Mykonian attractions, such as the legendary windmills, Little Venice, and the cozy Ano Mera village is only possible with high-quality cameras.
- A GPS device and a reliable map: Know where you’re going! Of course, if something unexpected happens, a private driver can come to pick you up, but it’s essential to stay safe at all times.
If you’ve packed accordingly for the ride, strap on the helmet and venture into the unknown expecting to explore mesmerizing Mykonian hidden gems.
