🚌 Departure from Naxos
📍Ferries to Mykonos leave from the main port of Naxos Town (Chora), right beside the waterfront and the Portara. The port has ticket offices, cafés and luggage storage nearby. Check your ticket for the exact quay.
🚇The port is in the heart of Naxos Town, so most hotels and guesthouses in Chora are an easy walk away with your luggage. From further out, a local bus or a taxi will take you to the waterfront.
⏰Departure days and times vary by season and company, and not every link runs daily. Check the live schedule on this page for current sailings and book ahead in summer.

Practical tips

💡
Book early for summer

In July and August, popular Cyclades sailings can sell out days ahead. Book online as soon as your dates are fixed, especially if you have a flight or an onward connection to catch afterwards.

💡
Check the departure day

Some island-to-island links do not run daily, particularly outside summer. Confirm which days your sailing operates before booking accommodation, so you do not get stuck on Naxos longer than planned.

💡
Confirm the port on your ticket

Athens has several ports (Piraeus, Rafina, Lavrio), so if you continue from Mykonos to the capital, always check which one your ticket names. Going to the wrong port is a classic and costly mistake.

💡
Allow a wind buffer

Strong summer winds can delay or cancel sailings, fast boats especially. Avoid scheduling a flight or a tight connection on the same day as your crossing, and keep your ticket details handy.

💡
Arrive early at the port

Allow time to find the right quay, check in and board with your luggage. Ports can be busy in high season, and boarding is often quick, so being early avoids last-minute stress.

The journey experience

Naxos to Mykonos is one of the simplest hops in the Cyclades, and for this route the answer is clear: the ferry is your way to go. There is no need to weigh up coaches, trains or flights here, because the sea link is the natural, practical choice for independent travellers island hopping without a car.

You will sail on a conventional ferry or a high-speed boat, depending on the day and the season. Larger ferries offer indoor lounges, open decks, a snack bar and room for your luggage, which makes them comfortable and relaxed. Fast boats are quicker but more exposed to wind. Several companies work the Cyclades network, so times and boat types can vary from one departure to the next. Compare the options in the table on this page to see what suits your plans.

The main thing to remember is that Cyclades timetables change with the season and some links run only on certain days of the week. Check the departure day before you build the rest of your itinerary, and keep a little flexibility in case strong winds disrupt sailings. In summer, book ahead so you are not left without a seat. Once you have chosen your sailing, confirm the departure port on your ticket and book online for instant confirmation. That way you arrive in Mykonos without stress.

What to do in Mykonos?

Local experiences, must-see sights and activities selected for you

MUST-SEE
🏘️
Wander Mykonos Town's Chora
Get lost in the whitewashed maze of alleys, designed to confuse pirates. Go at 7–8am before cruise passengers arrive, or after 11pm for a quieter feel. Wear flat shoes, as the cobbles are uneven. Entry is free, and every turn offers photogenic chapels and bougainvillea-draped doorways.
🌅
Sunset at Little Venice
Colorful 16th-century captains' houses perch right over the sea, with waves splashing the terraces. Arrive by 6pm in summer to secure a table at a bar; a cocktail costs around 15–20€. Walk there from the old port in 10 minutes, and stay for the windmill views.
🌬️
Kato Mili Windmills Viewpoint
Five restored windmills line the ridge above Chora, built by Venetians in the 16th century to mill grain. Visit at golden hour for the best light over Little Venice. Free access, a 10-minute stroll from the harbor. Bring a light jacket, as the meltemi wind blows strongly in July and August.
🏛️
Delos Island Archaeological Site
Birthplace of Apollo and a UNESCO World Heritage site, Delos holds remarkable mosaics and the Terrace of the Lions. Ferries leave Mykonos port in the morning and take 30 minutes; the round trip costs about 20€, plus 12€ entry. Closed Tuesdays. Bring water and a hat, as there is no shade.
⛪
Paraportiani Church and Folklore Museum
This asymmetrical whitewashed church, made of five chapels fused together, is Mykonos's most photographed monument. Photograph it early morning for soft light and no crowds. Nearby, the Folklore Museum (around 3€) displays traditional island life in an 18th-century sea captain's house. Open mornings and late afternoons.
🍽️
Taverna Dinner in Ano Mera
Skip the pricey Chora restaurants and take the bus (around 2€) to Ano Mera, the island's quiet inland village. Eat grilled fish, louza cured pork, or kopanisti cheese on the square for 15–25€ per person. Visit the 16th-century Panagia Tourliani monastery next door before dinner.
🏖️
Agios Sostis Quiet Beach
Located on the north coast, this undeveloped beach has no sunbeds or beach clubs, just sand, clear water and a single taverna. Bus access is limited, so rent a scooter or ATV for about 30–40€ per day. Bring water and snacks, and expect wind in summer.
🥾
Hike to Armenistis Lighthouse
This 1891 lighthouse stands on the island's northwest tip, among rugged cliffs and sweeping Aegean views. Drive or hike from Ano Mera in the late afternoon to avoid the heat. Free to visit, and the wild landscape feels worlds away from the party scene. Bring sturdy shoes and a windbreaker.

How long to visit Mykonos?

3 to 4 days

Three to four days is ideal for Mykonos: one day for Mykonos Town (Little Venice, windmills, Paraportiani), one or two for the beaches (Elia, Agrari, Psarou, Paradise) and a half-day for the quieter villages like Ano Mera. With only 24 to 48 hours you can see the town and one beach, but you'll feel rushed. Add a day trip to Delos by boat (about 30 minutes) and book ferries and accommodation well ahead from June to August, as prices peak and the meltemi wind can disrupt crossings.
