A whitewashed Cycladic island famous for its windmills, Little Venice sunsets, golden beaches, and nearby ancient Delos.
Mykonos is one of the best-known islands in the Cyclades, with a maze of whitewashed lanes in Mykonos Town, also called Chora. Most ships dock at the new port at Tourlos, north of town, while some anchor and tender passengers closer to the old harbor.
A day here is all about strolling, shopping, and soaking in the views, with the sacred island of Delos just a short boat ride away. It suits couples, photographers, and anyone who wants that classic Greek island look.
Here are my favorite ways to spend a cruise day in Mykonos. Each one opens on Viator, where you can check the times, reviews and price before you book.
Picked up at the port for a small-group loop of the island: the windmills, Little Venice, the village of Ano Mera and a beach stop, with a guaranteed return to the ship.
