Mykonos by day
The nights in Mykonos start late, which leaves the day free. This section is for those hours: the boat to Delos and its ruins, the walk from the old port to the windmills and Little Venice with the small museums on the way, and the short crossing to Tinos for a church, a museum and quiet villages. Each article gives the opening hours, tickets and crossing times exactly as the Ministry of Culture, the municipality, the tourism organisation and the boat operators publish them, with the date we checked, and tells you what to plan so you are back in Chora before the doors open.

Delos from Mykonos: the boat, the ticket and the hours
Delos is a half-day trip from Mykonos: a short crossing from the old port of Chora, a few hours among the ruins of the island where myth says Apollo and Artemis were born, and back in time for dinner. Here is how to do it with or without a tour, with the timetable, the ticket and the hours as the boat operator and the Greek Ministry of Culture publish them.

The windmills of Mykonos and Little Venice, by day
By day, the walk from the old port to the windmills and Little Venice is the shortest history lesson Mykonos offers: a ridge of white mills that once ground the island’s grain, a row of captains’ houses hanging over the water and five small museums in between. Everything here comes from the Municipality of Mykonos and the Greek Ministry of Culture.

Tinos in a day from Mykonos: the ferry, the church and the museum
Tinos is the island you see from Mykonos across a narrow channel, and it could hardly be more different: a place of pilgrimage, marble and some forty villages rather than beach clubs. A day there fits between two nights out. Here is how to go and what to see, from the Greek tourism and culture authorities.
