Planning notes

Entrance (~€20/€10 as published) and Whisper (~€5) are not included; weather and boat schedules can disrupt plans.

Mykonos cruise calls may use the New Port, Old Port or tender arrangements depending on the ship and day. Confirm your vessel’s berthing or tender plan, meeting instructions and all-aboard time before booking any fixed-schedule land or boat excursion. Delos boat schedules are fixed — confirm round-trip timing against tender or berth arrangements and all-aboard before you commit.

Cruise suitability: Needs a solid block of time ashore; check boat return carefully against your ship.

Tips

  • Bring cash for entrance fees and the optional Whisper system.
  • Wear closed shoes, hat and strong sun protection — shade is limited.
  • Carry water; food is not included.
  • Do not book if your remaining time ashore is tight after tendering.
