Located just a few kilometers from Mykonos Town, the port provides extensive Mykonos ferry services to destinations across the Cyclades and mainland Greece. Popular routes include ferries to Paros, Naxos, Santorini and Athens (Piraeus).
Mykonos Port serves both foot passengers and vehicles and is a key hub for island hopping in the Cyclades. Due to the high volume of daily sailings, especially during the summer months, passengers traveling with Mykonos ferry tickets are advised to arrive early and double-check their departure gate or vessel, as multiple ferries often depart within short timeframes.

Mykonos primarily operates from its New Port in Tourlos, which functions as the main ferry terminal. There is also an Old Port closer to Mykonos Town, now mainly used by smaller boats and excursions. Most inter-island ferries and high-speed vessels depart from the New Port, so passengers should confirm their departure location in advance.

Paros Port serves both foot passengers and vehicles and is the main arrival point for visitors to the island. The port is located directly next to Parikia town, making it very convenient for onward travel. Passengers traveling with Paros ferry tickets are advised to arrive early, particularly in summer, as the port area can become crowded during busy ferry arrival and departure times.
