Mykonos

The most popular island in the Aegean, Mykonos is the epicenter of luxury and entertainment with its whitewashed cubic houses, bougainvillea-adorned narrow streets, and world-famous beach clubs. For yacht charter guests, anchoring with a view of "Little Venice" and watching the sunset is a unique experience. On blue cruise itineraries, the iconic historic windmills, designer boutiques in the Chora, and the nearby sacred island of Delos are must-sees. On this energetic island, you can crown your day with fresh seafood and the island's unique "kopanisti" cheese at the gourmet seaside restaurants.

Logistics & Technical

Mykonos has two main ports: the Old Harbor (Chora) and the New Port (Tourlos). Most yachts are directed to Tourlos, which offers full facilities like water and electricity. However, it is highly exposed to the Meltemi winds, which can create significant swell inside the marina. The southern bays, such as Ornos and Psarou, are the best anchorages for protection against northerly winds. The sandy bottom provides excellent holding. Navigators should be cautious of the shallow passages between Mykonos and Delos and the very heavy ferry traffic.

Practical Info

Tourlos marina provides water, electricity, and fuel. Due to high demand, booking months in advance is often necessary. Chora is accessible from Tourlos via sea taxi or bus. Provisioning options are excellent, though prices are much higher than on the mainland. Always ensure a very secure mooring setup due to the strong winds.

Personal Insight

Captain's Note

“
"Entering Mykonos is like stepping onto the Aegean’s grandest stage. When the Meltemi picks up, always use mooring snubbers against the harbor swell and stay extremely sharp while navigating the Delos channel."
From the Captain
