MYKONOS PORT 

Mykonos Port, officially known as the New Port and located in Tourlos just two kilometers north of Mykonos Town (Chora), is the primary deep-water gateway handling all major cruise ships, commercial mega-ferries, and high-speed catamarans. While the historic Old Port handles small local excursion boats, the New Port is a bustling transit hub where most travelers step onto the island, collect their rental cars, and begin their island journeys. 

Top Attractions Near Mykonos Port (Tourlos)

• The Main Ferry Terminal: The energetic core of the port where vast passenger ships connect Mykonos to Athens, Santorini, and the wider Cyclades.
• Tourlos Marina: A modern extension of the port complex that hosts private luxury yachts and sailing charters away from the central ferry docks.
• Tourlos Beach: A quiet, relaxed stretch of golden sand located immediately south of the port gates, offering a calm swimming alternative.
• The SeaBus Station: The designated passenger pier for catching the short, 10-minute water taxi that directly links the New Port to the Old Port in Mykonos Town.
• San Stefano Viewpoint: A nearby elevated roadside stop just past the port offering panoramic views of arriving cruise liners and stunning Aegean sunsets. 

Best Day Trips from Mykonos Port

• Tinos Island: Walk your rental car onto a ferry at the port for a quick 20-to-30-minute crossing to explore Tinos’s famous marble-crafting villages and the church of Panagia Evangelistria.
• Delos & Rhenia Islands: Hop on the local SeaBus to the Old Port to catch the morning excursion boat to the sacred ancient ruins of Delos.
• Super Paradise & Elia Beaches: Drive straight out of the port gates using the inland bypass roads to reach the island’s legendary southern sandy coastlines.
• Ftelia Beach & Archaeological Site: Drive 15 minutes east to visit a windy beach popular with windsurfers, which also hosts a rare Neolithic settlement excavation.
• Ano Mera & Panagia Tourliani: Travel inland to the island’s only traditional village square to tour a historic 16th-century monastery housing a hand-carved altar screen. 

Scenic Drives Starting from the Port

The North Coast Edge Drive (Tourlos to Houlakia)

A short, dramatic route that climbs north away from the port, hugging the rugged cliffs and facing the open sea channel.

• Highlights: Striking views of arriving ships, looking across to neighboring Syros Island, and ending at Houlakia Beach, a protected natural monument famous for its unique, smooth round pebbles

Travel Tips for Driving Around Mykonos Port

• Arrive Early During Peak Ferry Windows: The small roundabout and single-lane roads directly outside the port gates experience severe traffic gridlock 30 minutes before and after major ferry arrivals.
• Locate Your Car Rental Drop-Off Point: Most rental agencies have dedicated parking stalls inside or directly across from the main port terminal building; confirm the exact lot location prior to arrival.
• Navigate the Steeps with Caution: Roads climbing away from the port into the hills of Tourlos and San Stefano are exceptionally steep, with sharp blind curves that require low gears.
• Utilize the Chora Bypass Road: If you are driving from the port to the southern beaches or the airport, use the main peripheral highway road to completely skirt around the pedestrian-only city center.
• Watch for Pedestrians Carrying Luggage: Large groups of foot passengers frequently walk along the narrow edges of the main port road heading toward local Tourlos hotels; maintain low speeds and high alertness.
