Mykonos Island Travel Tips
Let me share a tip or two that will make getting to your destination in Mykonos a little easier:
- Ferries sail from the main port, Parikia in Paros. It's best to arrive at the port early (I like to be there an hour before). Traffic can build up in town when ferries arrive and leave, so you don't want to be stuck in a traffic jam with the countdown clock ticking away!
- Ferries arrive at New Tourlos port, a few kilometres from Mykonos Town in Mykonos. You can take a bus into Mykonos Town (which may be crowded) or pre-book a taxi using Welcome.
- For accommodation in Mykonos, take a look at Booking. Areas to consider staying include Mykonos Town, Psarou, Agios Stefanos, Megali Ammos, Ornos, Platis Gialos, and Agios Ioannis. If you are traveling to Mykonos in the busy summer months, I advise reserving hotels in Mykonos a few months in advance. I've a good guide here: Where to stay in Mykonos.
- Readers recommend visiting the following beaches in Mykonos: Super Paradise, Platis Gialos, Agrari, Kalafatis, Lia, Paradise, and Agios Sostis. Check out my beach guide: Best beaches in Mykonos.
