Mykonos New Port: what to know before you arrive

With a holiday rental nearby and no concierge to hold your things, arriving at Mykonos New Port often means dragging bags around while you wait to check in or explore.

The quickest routes into town are the KTEL buses — which have luggage space but no step-free access — and the SeaBus water taxi, which is wheelchair-accessible and drops you right at the pedestrian-only lanes of Mykonos Town. From there, what you can do depends mainly on how long you have and how much you’re carrying. It is one of the busiest ports in the Cyclades, with daily ferry and cruise connections to Piraeus, Rafina, Santorini, Paros, Naxos, Tinos, Syros, and Heraklion. Located in Tourlos, this is the island's main harbour for large inter-island ferries and cruise ships. Tourlos, as Mykonos New Port is also known, is the primary port for passenger ferries and cruise ships arriving in Mykonos. The terminal is an indoor, air-conditioned facility with toilets and Wi-Fi for passengers. Near the cruise terminal at Tourlos you'll find a street of tavernas, restaurants, cafés, and mini-markets. With Stasher, you can store bags from €1.49 per bag per day.

Getting between the port and Mykonos Town with luggage

KTEL buses run from Mykonos New Port to Fabrika and the Old Port in roughly 10 minutes, and the buses include free luggage space for passengers. These public buses are not accessible for travellers with mobility needs, so that only works if you can manage your own bags on and off. The Mykonos SeaBus water taxi connects Mykonos New Port at Tourlos to the Old Port in Mykonos Town for €2 per person, with space for luggage and strollers on board and wheelchair access throughout. It also drops you right at the pedestrian-only zone of Mykonos Town, which the bus route cannot do. So if you are heading into the narrow lanes of Mykonos Town with bags, the SeaBus gets you closer to where you actually want to be.

Planning your visit with bags in tow

A full day of 7 to 8 hours is about right for exploring Mykonos when arriving at the New Port. Shorter stops of 4 to 5 hours let you focus on Mykonos Town, while a 6- to 8-hour visit can add a nearby beach or short boat trip. Longer stops of 8 or more hours open up a beach day or a half-day trip to Delos, but everything you carry stays with you the whole way. The Mykonos Port car park is free and sits about a 7-minute walk from the terminal building, though it solves nothing for bags unless you leave them locked in a car. A planned pedestrian walkway between the New Port and Mykonos Old Port, designed with gentle slopes and access for disabled people, will eventually make that connection easier, but it is not open yet.
