Mykonos Old Port : info and guided tour

Introduction to Mykonos Old Port

Mykonos Old Port is located on the waterfront of the town of Mykonos, in Greece, very close to the island’s historic center. This ancient port long served as the main maritime gateway before the development of newer infrastructure. Today it remains an emblematic place, tied to the port identity and lively atmosphere of the bay.

The site stands out for its landscape of narrow quays, fishing boats, and shuttle vessels, with the typical whitewashed houses of Mykonos in the background. Rather than the appearance of an isolated monument, it feels like a living cultural space, where Cycladic architecture blends with traditional maritime activity.

The Old Port is best known for its atmosphere that is highly characteristic of Mykonos, between passenger traffic, seaside walks, and views over the bay. It is one of the most recognizable images of the town, especially thanks to its proximity to the narrow streets, white facades, and terraces that line the old quarter.
