Which port does your boat use in Mykonos?
Mykonos has two ports, both run by the Municipal Port Fund, set up in 2003: the Old Port in Chora, the island's town, and the New Port 3.5 km north of it, on the bay of Tourlos. The new one was built for the island's growing traffic, and that is where the ferries berth today, along with the cruise ships.
The Old Port is the town's own harbour, Gialos. The Delos boats leave from its pier by the Town Hall, the fishing boats stay there, and the Port Fund accepts only motor yachts longer than 25 m; smaller yachts, sailing boats and RIBs go to the marina at Tourlos.

How do you get from the new port to Chora?
From April to October the quickest way is the SeaBus, a small boat that crosses between the two ports in about 12 min for €2 one way. Luggage, wheelchairs and pushchairs go on board, and tickets are sold on the boat and at the Delos Tours kiosks in both ports.
In the 2026 season (1 April to 31 October) it left Tourlos every 30 min from 08:30, with the last boat at 23:30, and the Old Port from 09:00 to 00:00; the gaps grow longer late in the evening. The municipality lists its stops as the Tourlos bridge, Tourlos Marina and the Delianon pier in town.
Is there a bus between the ports at night?
Not in winter. KTEL Mykonos's timetable valid from 1 November 2026 keeps just two midday buses between the ports: from the Old Port at 11:45 and 12:45, and back from the New Port at 12:00 and 13:00. Its airport and Fabrika–New Port lines show no departures at all.
Summer is different. The municipality says that in peak season KTEL runs to the island's busiest spots until 04:00, but the 2027 timetable has not been published yet. In town, the bus to the New Port leaves from beside the Old Port pier, the one to Ano Mera and the east from behind the OTE building, and the beach buses from Fabrika.
What does a taxi from the port cost?
Whatever the meter shows, on Greece's national taxi tariff, last updated by ministerial decision 147620/2026 (Government Gazette B' 5674, 18 September 2026). A hire from a port adds €1.07, and no ride costs less than €4.
The meter starts at €1.80 and counts €0.90 per kilometre on tariff 1; from 00:00 to 05:00 it switches to tariff 2, €1.25 per kilometre. The municipality's taxi stands are in front of the OTE building and at Fabrika, and it lists two dispatch lines open 24 hours: 22890 23700 and 22890 22400. Every charge, and when it applies, is in Mykonos taxi prices.
From the Old Port into the night
Land at the Old Port and you are already in town. The Delos boats leave from the same pier (how to visit Delos from Mykonos), the lanes of Mykonos Town begin right behind the waterfront, and WE ❤ MYK Club describes itself as within walking distance of the old harbour.
Sleeping near Tourlos? In the 2026 season the last SeaBus left the Old Port at 00:00; after that, or out of season, the way back is a taxi. What else changes when the summer ends is in Mykonos in October, after dark.
