The port at Tourlos was constructed to alleviate heavy congestion in the traditional Old Port of Mykonos Town.
The facility is designed to host modern cruise liners that exceed the draft capacity of the shallow water in the historic harbour.
Tourlos Port serves as a primary hub for SeaJets, Blue Star Ferries, and Hellenic Seaways routes.
The port area is integrated with an automated parking system to manage the high volume of shuttle buses and taxis.
Strategic placement in Tourlos provides a shorter maritime distance to central Aegean transit routes compared to the Old Port.
Mykonos Port, located in the village of Tourlos, functions as the primary maritime gateway for the island, handling both large cruise vessels and high-speed passenger ferries. The facility features a modern terminal building with designated areas for passenger embarkation and disembarkation. It serves as a vital logistics hub connecting Mykonos to Piraeus, Rafina, and other Cycladic islands. The infrastructure is engineered to accommodate deep-draft ships that the historic Old Port in Mykonos Town cannot handle. Visitors find passenger lounges, luggage storage, and transport coordination areas within the port perimeter. The site remains the central arrival point for the vast majority of international cruise traffic to the island.

Download the official port app or check the port authority website on your arrival day to confirm real-time ferry docking berths.
If you are staying in Mykonos Town, verify if your accommodation offers a shuttle, as the walk from the port is uphill and lacks continuous pedestrian sidewalks.
Use the designated luggage storage facilities located in the main terminal if you arrive before your hotel check-in time.
Do not attempt to walk from the port to Mykonos Town with heavy luggage during the middle of the day, as the coastal road lacks consistent shade and features high-speed traffic.
Operations are year-round, but ferry frequencies decrease significantly during the winter months.
