Allow around two hours at sea on faster itineraries, with the ship and intermediate calls deciding the actual time.

If you are staying in Oia, leave time to reach Fira before the separate descent to Athinios. For a prebooked driver, specify the scheduled ferry port and departure time. Directions to the cable car lead to the old harbour used for a different kind of boat trip.
Tourlos is north of Mykonos Town. A pickup for a hotel in Chora can be arranged at the ferry port, or you can transfer by SeaBus when it is running. For a beach hotel beyond town, compare the complete journey with a direct pickup. Mykonos SeaBus stops and timetable.
Work backwards from a Seajets sailing. For a hypothetical 12:00 departure, its instructions put a foot passenger at the boarding area by 11:30 or a vehicle at loading by 11:00. Your descent to Athinios and any queue must come before those times. Seajets boarding instructions.
If renting a vehicle on arrival, give the rental office the ship name and the New Port at Tourlos as the handover location. An office in Mykonos Town is another transfer, even when both addresses are advertised simply as Mykonos.
The published examples and boarding guidance were reviewed on 1 November 2026. Use the current season’s booking calendar for the individual sailing, especially outside summer.

Most conventional and high-speed ferries use the New Port at Tourlos, north of Mykonos Town. Buses, taxis and sea buses connect the port with Chora and onward transport around the island.
After the ferry reaches Mykonos, allow time for disembarkation before a collection or onward connection. Check where passengers leave the terminal and whether your next stop is within walking distance or requires a transfer.
Use the facilities listed for the ship on your departure. Vessel assignments and onboard services can change.
Choose the available economy, airline-style or upgraded seating category shown for the sailing.

Larger bags may be stored in designated areas during boarding. Keep passports, tickets and valuables with you.
Pet and mobility arrangements should be added before travel and can vary by vessel.

Use current official guidance for documents, entry permissions and any vehicle or pet requirements that apply to your journey. Requirements depend on your circumstances and can change.
For a stay in Chora, use the transfer from Tourlos to the Old Port area. The SeaBus map distinguishes the New Port cruise berth and marina stops. For a hotel meeting, agree one specific stop or road pickup point with your host.
For a same-day onward ferry from Tourlos, first check whether the tickets are on one through itinerary. Separate departures may use the same port but still require you to disembark, retrieve luggage and board again before the next deadline.
