Then the tour spends 30 minutes in Ano Mera village, exploring the main square, traditional restaurants, and local life. A 15-minute visit is made to the Monastery of Panagia Tourliani, founded in 1542 and one of the island’s important religious landmarks.

There is a 15-minute stop at Kalo Livadi Beach, recognized for its golden sand and clear waters suitable for swimming and sunbathing, followed by 15 minutes at Agios Ioannis Diakoftis beach on the southwest coast, offering views of Delos island.
