Mykonos guide
Discovery begins as you step ashore
Mykonos has one of the Aegean's best-known island skylines, with whitewashed Chora streets, blue details and windmills facing the sea. The centre may look small, but exploring its maze of streets is a key part of the experience.
Depending on how the ship docks, you may use a shuttle from the new port or a tender from an offshore anchorage. Follow the information for your sailing about going ashore and the return meeting point.

Start with these highlights to shape your port day around your interests.
