The water taxi heading to the beaches
Water Taxis in Mykonos
The water taxis of Mykonos are one of the most fun ways to get around the island since they allow you to enjoy the landscape and the sea.
In brief, water taxis in Mykonos operate two routes:
► One departing from the Old Port in Mykonos Town and heading to the beaches.
► One departing from the New Port (Tourlos) and heading to Mykonos Town
Water taxis to the beaches
There is a caique (wooden traditional boat) service that takes you from the Old Port in Mykonos town to the beaches of Platis Gialos, Paraga, Paradise, Super Paradise, Agrari, Elia, and back.
You can catch the boat at the Old Port or at any of the aforementioned beaches.
Sea bus to/from the New Port (Tourlos)
The New Port (Tourlos) is where all passenger ferries arrive.
A new service that can transfer individuals between the New Port and the Old Port is also available in the last few years.
The route is made every 30 minutes and its duration is 8 minutes.
The tickets cost €2. This means of transportation is highly recommended for visitors who have just arrived at the New Port and want a convenient way to reach Mykonos Town, bus or taxi stations. For that reason, boats offer a luggage storage room. Many water taxis are equipped with air-conditioning and provide WiFi access. The vessels are wheelchair accessible and suitable for strollers as well.
You can visit their website for more information and ticket bookings.
In addition, daily cruises to Delos and other nearby islands are also offered. In some cases, it may be possible to book a boat for a private event or party.
