Tips for the Piraeus–Mykonos Ferry
- Mykonos has two ports -- most ferries now use the New Port at Tourlos, not the Old Port in town.
- If arriving by plane, Rafina port is closer to Athens airport than Piraeus.
- Piraeus port is large, with departure gates E1 to E10 spread along the waterfront – allow extra time to find yours, as it can be a 15–20 minute walk from the metro station, and check the gate number printed on your ticket.
- Ferries to the Saronic islands – Aegina, Hydra and the nearby islands – depart from Gate E8, while Cyclades sailings (Mykonos, Santorini, Paros, Naxos) leave from gates in the E6–E10 range, so double-check your specific gate on arrival.
- In Mykonos, the iconic windmills overlooking Little Venice and the maze of whitewashed lanes in Chora are as recognisable as any image in the Greek islands. The island is equally famous for its beach clubs and vibrant nightlife, with Paradise Beach among the liveliest spots on the Aegean.

Is it worth hiring a car on Mykonos?
Worth it if you plan to reach beaches like Elia or Kalafatis and the far side of the island, since buses run less often outside town. New Port is about 3km from Chora, roughly a 13-minute drive, and Chora itself is pedestrian-only so you park on the edge and walk in. Quad bikes are a popular alternative. Compare rental options at Discover Cars.
Can you rent a car in Piraeus?
Yes, several agencies meet passengers directly at the ferry gates (E1 to E12), so there is no need to arrange transport into central Athens first. It suits travellers continuing on to the mainland rather than islanders, since central Athens is only 20 minutes away and has good metro and bus links. Compare local suppliers at Discover Cars.
