Mykonos is the Greek islands at their most glamorous: whitewashed lanes, iconic windmills, and beach clubs that buzz into the night. Ships usually tender to the old port, from which the town is walkable — but a tour helps you beat the crowds.
Best things to do on your cruise
Mykonos town and windmills walk. Wander Little Venice’s waterfront and the famous hilltop windmills with a guide who knows the maze of lanes and best photo angles.
Delos ancient island trip. A short boat ride to one of Greece’s most important archaeological sites — an entire ancient city and UNESCO treasure.
South-coast beach club day. Spend your day at Paradise or Platis Gialos beach, with loungers, clear water and a lively atmosphere.
Tips for your port day
- The old town is a deliberate maze — a guide saves time.
- Delos has almost no shade; bring water and a hat.
- Mykonos gets windy — secure hats and light items.
