Mykonos Port : info and guided tour

Overview of Mykonos Port

Mykonos Port, located in Tourlos on the northern side of the island, is now one of the main maritime arrival points in Mykonos. This marina welcomes many cruise ships, ferries and yachts, and offers a first glimpse of the Cycladic coastline before reaching Chora, the historic center of the island.

Its development reflects the growth of maritime tourism around Mykonos, now a major destination in the Aegean Sea. Unlike the old port in town, which is more central and traditional, the Tourlos port was designed to better handle modern traffic and make connections with other Greek islands and the mainland easier.

The site stands out for its piers opening onto the bay and for its functional facilities, designed primarily to welcome vessels. Here, you can enjoy a port landscape strongly shaped by the Cycladic light, with the sea, boats and the silhouette of Mykonos in the background. It is also an iconic place of transit, animated by arrivals and departures.

Its fame comes from its strategic role in discovering the island, as many visitors first arrive in Mykonos here. The port provides easy access to the beaches, hotels and the heart of the island, while offering a maritime atmosphere that reflects the cosmopolitan and lively character of Mykonos.
