Ferry from Mykonos to Paros

Mykonos to Paros Ferry Guide

How to get to Mykonos Ferry Port

Since Mykonos port is located approximately 2km north of Mykonos Town, we strongly recommend that you travel by public transport or hire a private transfer with Welcome Pickups. There is a Sea Bus available to the New Port as well as local buses. These are much more convenient than walking, especially if you have lots of luggage.

Mykonos Port Guide

Forming one of the Cyclades group of islands, the island of Mykonos lies between the islands of Tinos, Paros and Naxos. The main town on the island, also called Mykonos (or Chora to the locals), has typically Cycladic architecture on display with its white washed houses with painted blue windows, pretty narrow streets and pebble-stoned pavements and small white chapels with sky blue cupolas. Many visitors choose to simply take a stroll through Chora, the old port, Little Venice and the Castle to take in the charm of the town. The island in general has a lively nightlife and is sometimes referred to as the "Ibiza of Greece" as a result of its summer club scene which is a major draw for thousands of tourists each year.

The island has two ports. The old Mykonos harbour is where passenger ferries arrive and the New Port of Tourlos is where mostly cruise ships dock. Ferry services from Mykonos depart to Piraeus and Rafina on the Greek mainland and to the other islands in the Cyclades, the Dodecanese islands and to Crete. Conventional and high speed ferries operate to and from the island.
