However, Mykonos can also be synonymous with a more peaceful, relaxed holiday. An ideal island to be discovered on a boat trip.

Where is Mykonos located?

Mykonos is an Aegean Sea island in the Cyclades archipelago, the group of islands that, thanks to its beauty and millenary history, has probably become the most famous and coveted in the whole Mediterranean Sea.

A very popular destination, during the summer months, for sailing lovers and cruise passengers, as well as for simple tourists.

How to get to the Island of Mykonos?

During the summer months, reaching this island by plane is easy thanks to direct flights from major European cities to the island’s convenient international airport, located just 4 kilometers from Mykonos city. In the other seasons, however, direct flights are not always available, so it may be necessary to stop in Athens and then take an internal flight or a ferry to Mykonos from the Piraeus or Rafina ports. A boat trip from Athens to Mykonos lasts approximately five hours.

Although Mykonos city, the island’s main city, has a large port, it is primarily used by ferries en route to and from other Greek destinations. It still offers about 30 berths with a maximum draft of 4.5 meters.

To find a wider marina, however, it is sufficient to move a little further north, remaining on the west coast of the island. Tourlos Marina offers 222 berths for boats up to 25 meters in length and a maximum draft of 3 meters. This port is well equipped with all the necessary services to ensure you have an optimal stay, and it is certainly quieter and farther from the chaotic, hectic center of Mykonos city, which is, however, only about 20 minutes away on foot.

Finally, if you are looking for an exclusive location where to moor and enjoy luxury services, we recommend the Santa Marina Resort, a luxurious resort located southeast for yachts and boats up to 50 meters in length. The Santa Marina Resort offers, among other amenities, a private heliport, two infinity pools, a private beach, a restaurant, and a bar.

What Attractions does Mykonos offer its Visitors?

Visiting an island, as often happens, starts from its city center. The Chora (the center) of Mykonos city, in addition to being the main port, is also a typical area of white houses and narrow streets lined with colorful flowers.

It is an island devoted to fun, and so, obviously, even here, there is no lack of nightlife, made up of outdoor parties and music; however, the city has carved out its own identity linked to its artistic and landscape beauty.

The chicest neighborhood is Little Venice or Alefkántra (its Greek name), an elegant series of homes overlooking the sea that creates a magical atmosphere, especially at sunset, when the houses’ colors illuminate the landscape.

One of the most visited city monuments is the Orthodox church of Panagia Paraportiani. A classic postcard image, this white church with a blue sea in the background is actually a complex of five small chapels built between the 15th and 17th centuries. The church is almost always closed to the public, but the view of its landscape is truly priceless.

Not to be missed are the famous windmills, which have become the symbol of the island. Almost all of them are located in the old part of Mykonos town, but there are some scattered around the island, some of which can be visited.

When it comes to a seaside resort, you cannot fail to mention its beaches and Mykonos is no exception. The island offers 81 kilometers of indented coastline with deep inlets and large bays such as Agios Ioannis. Along the northern coast, the landscape is rocky and irregular, while in the southern part, we find sandy beaches such as Tourlos, Panormos, Ornos, and Fokos.

The symbolic beaches of Mykonos are Paradise Beach and Super Paradise Beach, which, although set in a particularly suggestive natural setting, are famous for clubs and parties that run all hours of the day and night, 7 days a week. Paradise Beach and Super Paradise Beach are located along the southwestern coast of Mykonos, about 6 km from the main town.

Other popular beaches are Psarou, an elegant white-sand beach, and Agios Ioannis, the most famous beach on the west coast, divided into a sandy and a rocky area.
