From Mykonos: Transfer to Delos Island by Boat

1. From Mykonos: Transfer to Delos Island by Boat

Departing from the old port of Mykonos, relax on the 40 minute boat cruise, feel the sea breeze and view the island of Rhenia from a distance. When you reach the island of Delos you have a few hours to explore at your own pace. The entry ticket to the site is not included in this price but you can easily obtain one at the entrance, along with a guide if you wish. Later you will use the same ticket to board the boat and get transferred back to the old port of Mykonos after a day discovering an ancient civilization.

From the Cruise Ship Port: The Original Delos Guided Tour

2. From the Cruise Ship Port: The Original Delos Guided Tour

This 5-hour tour begins with a sea bus ride from the new port of Mykonos to the old port. This is followed by a 30-minute boat ride from Mykonos to Delos. Once you arrive at Delos you’ll receive an introduction to the ancient and sacred site. With your guide, you’ll explore the narrow city streets. Marvel at the impressive house of Dionysus and the exceptional mosaics, well-preserved marble columns, and wall paintings. See other monuments in the urban area, including the Theater of Delos. Take a walk along the main street to the market and the sanctuary zone. Here you’ll find the Stoa of Phillipe, the Propylaia, the Colossus of the Naxians, and the Temple of Apollo.

From Mykonos: Paradise Beach Boat Trip

3. From Mykonos: Paradise Beach Boat Trip

Instead of looking for ways to find taxi transfer to the beach, select a roundtrip boat transfer to the world-famous Paradise Beach. Save time by heading directly to the old port of Mykonos and boarding a modern boat that will take you fast to the south coast of the island. Hop onto your boat and depart at 11:00 AM toward Paradise Beach, for approximately 40 minutes. With your pre-booked ticket, enjoy a coffee or refreshment on board while taking in the sea view and the coastline of Mykonos. On the beach, take approximately 3.5 hours to sunbathe, swim and snorkel. There are also a few beach bars and restaurants where you can enjoy cocktails or have lunch. At 3:00 PM, board the boat again, this time to return to the port of Mykonos. Enjoy a bottle of water and relax as the boat takes you back.

We booked just the transfer ticket and had our own tour book downloaded. There is a wait to buy entry tickets on the island once you arrive. Tour guide group probably got about a 10 minute head start on us. We started in the opposite direction recommended and didn’t have crowds to deal with and were able to enjoy the ruins without waiting for a large group to see things.

Ferry to Delos. Booking is for both ferries, to Delos and back to Mykonos, and you can choose which times you will leave and come back. There were three trips a day when we went, first leaves Delos at 10AM and first comes back to Mykonos at 1:30PM. Ferry departures are every one and a half hours or so.

The departure could have been offered to choose between the old and the new port. The explanations of the guide were interesting. The free time is not enough to browse all that remains after the visit. It would be nice if it was a little longer. The boat trips are very pleasant.

Great excursion to Delos, but bad information, it gave us a meeting point in the new port and it was in the old port, we went there for nothing, having the old port very close to the apartment

Good service, comfortable seats. Kindness of staff.
