Traveling from Mykonos to Thirasia in Greece

How to get from Mykonos to Thirasia

If you want to visit the Greek island of Thirasia after Mykonos, you should be aware that there are no direct ferries sailing on this route. The only way to make the journey, would be to take an indirect route via Santorini.

This would mean that you would first need to get a ferry from Mykonos to Santorini. Once there, you would then disembark, and then take another ferry to Thirasia island. More details here:

During the summer, you can expect up to 7 daily ferries from Mykonos to Santorini (depending on the season). For up to date ferry timetables, prices and availability, check out Ferryhopper.

Thirasia Island Travel Tips

A few travel tips for visiting the Greek island of Thirasia:

  • For places to stay in Thirasia, have a look at Booking. They have a great choice of accommodation in Thirasia and areas to consider staying include Manolas, and Agia Irini. If you are traveling to Thirasia in the peak months of summer, I advise reserving rooms to rent in Thirasia a month or so in advance.

  • The easiest way to get hold of ferry tickets in Greece is by using Ferryhopper. I think it's better that you book your Mykonos to Thirasia ferry tickets in advance, especially during the the months of July, August, and September.
