Where is the Mykonos cruise port?
Arrival is assigned per call. Ships with a berth dock at the Tourlos New Port cruise pier, about 2.5 km by road north of Mykonos Town; others anchor in the bay and tender passengers to the Old Port beside the town hall.
From the pier, the Mykonos SeaBus water taxi takes about 12 minutes to the Old Port; ship shuttles, KTEL buses and taxis also run. The road walk (30–35 minutes) has no proper pavement and is not recommended.
From the Old Port, Chora, Little Venice and the windmills are a short walk.

Mykonos is the most expensive Greek island for eating out; waterfront and Little Venice tables cost more. Dinner range is for a mid-range meal with a drink and service.
Where to eat
Mykonos Town lanes (Chora)
Taverna lanes behind the waterfront, e.g. long-running Nikos Taverna, walkable from the Old Port and usually cheaper than waterfront tables.
Little Venice
Restaurants and bars over the sea below the windmills, such as Sea Satin Market; scenic but with a view premium.
Old Port waterfront
Cafes and quick bites by the SeaBus and tender landing, including the popular Jimmy's Gyros counter.
Ano Mera village square
Inland village tavernas at roughly half Mykonos Town prices; needs a bus or taxi, so best on a longer call.
Destination
About Mykonos
Mykonos is a small, dry Cycladic island in the central Aegean, known for Mykonos Town (Chora): whitewashed lanes, small chapels, the Little Venice waterfront and the Kato Mili windmills above it.
The south coast has sandy beaches such as Platis Gialos and Ornos, and the island is the departure point for boats to Delos, the ancient sanctuary of Apollo and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
It is one of Greece's busiest cruise ports, often paired with Santorini on Eastern Mediterranean itineraries.
- Climate
- Hot, dry summers and mild, wetter winters. Almost no summer rain; the strong northerly meltemi wind blows often in July–August and can disrupt tenders and Delos boats.
