Start with the time you actually have

Count from when you can get off the ship, or ashore by tender, to the all-aboard time, using ship time. Times on these plans are our estimates, with time to spare; they cannot promise a plan fits your sailing.

Short plans need up to 4 hours in total, medium up to 6, long more than 6. A plan with a connection still to confirm has no total.

Put your day on the map

Select a terminal or place to see its location and open directions.

Open Chora streets in Google Maps

Choose a place for its location, then open Google Maps for directions. Confirm the terminal on your cruise documents; a map result does not establish your ship’s berth or an accessible route.

Getting around

Start from the assigned arrival

The port fund distinguishes Tourlos New Port from Chora Old Port and refers to cruise tenders in the Old Port. Confirm your ship’s actual dock or anchorage, landing, transfer into town and last return. Ferry piers and yacht reservations do not establish cruise boarding arrangements.

Protect the return

Our suggestion: confirm the actual passenger deadline, both connections, waiting and boarding procedures. Complete transfer times, route distances and fares remain unverified.

Make room for lunch

Check the chosen place

Our suggestion: check the actual café or restaurant’s opening, ingredients, payment and complete bill. Public spaces or exhibition access do not establish meal service; no current menu price or meal duration is researched here.

What costs extra?

Published information checked Oct 4, 2026. Confirm current prices before paying.

Option 2

Take a planned tour

Prefer an organized outing in Mykonos? Browse tours with Viator, then check the exact meeting point, departure, inclusions and cancellation terms before booking.

Find tours for your port visit

Search up to one year ahead. Schedules are indicative; confirm available departure times and your group’s final price on Viator.

Before you go ashore

What should I take ashore?

Take your ship card or wearable, the identification specified in the ship’s port briefing, any tour ticket and a way to pay. Save your terminal name, return deadline and ship’s emergency contact offline. Ask whether your original passport is required for this visit; do not assume a phone photo replaces required identification. Euros (EUR). Euros (EUR) is the local currency.
