Tourlos Marina (Mykonos)

Introduction

Tourlos — the New Port of Mykonos — is the island's yacht and cruise harbour, a couple of kilometres north of the old town on the Cyclades' most famous island.

What You'll Feel

A modern, exposed harbour rather than a quaint one; the reward is stepping ashore onto Mykonos itself — the windmills, the white lanes of Chora and the island's legendary nights a short ride south.

What Makes It Unique

It is the gateway to the central Cyclades — Delos, Paros, Naxos — at the doorstep of one of the Mediterranean's most sought-after islands, now being upgraded for growing yacht and cruise demand.

The Story Behind

Tourlos is a relatively new, still-developing port built to take the yachts and cruise ships the old harbour could not; the Mykonos Port Fund is modernizing its quays and ramps for rising luxury-yacht traffic.

Local Life

The marina feeds straight into Mykonos's summer life — Chora's bars and restaurants, Delos day-trips, and the Cycladic beach scene a short transfer away.

Best Time to Visit

The Cyclades are swept by a strong summer meltemi from the north — exhilarating but demanding; plan arrivals and crossings for the calmer mornings. Note ferry-traffic entry restrictions at peak hours.
