Mykonos Cruise Port Guide: What to Do, See & Skip in One Day

Planning a cruise stop in Mykonos? This iconic Greek island looks like a postcard — but without the right game plan, it can also feel crowded, overpriced, and overwhelming. In this guide, we break down exactly what to do, what to see, and what to skip so you can make the absolute most of your day ashore. We are Kris and Melanie from Dockside Travel. We've been cruising for more than 20 years — dozens of sailings, nearly 300 nights at sea — across Celebrity, Princess, Royal Caribbean, and now Virgin Voyages. Mykonos has been on our radar for a long time, and we're giving you the real deal on what it's like as a port of call. In this video, we cover: ✅ Port arrival — docking at Tourlos vs. tendering to the old port ✅ Getting into Mykonos Town — shuttle, taxi, sea bus & water taxi options ✅ Mykonos Town (Chora) — the alleyways, windmills & Little Venice ✅ Petros the pelican — Mykonos' famous mascot ✅ The beaches — Paradise Beach, Ornos & the beach-hopping water taxi ✅ Delos — the UNESCO site worth considering if you have time ✅ Waterfront dining — what to order and what to expect on price ✅ Our honest Dockside Port Rating Mykonos is stunning — but it's also one of those ports where the difference between a great day and a frustrating one comes down to a few smart decisions. Stick around to the end for our Dockside Port Rating — this one might surprise you.
