The SeaBus from Mykonos New Port
Passengers who don’t travel with their own vehicles often opt for the scenic SeaBus to or from Mykonos Port. While it can’t accommodate vehicles, the SeaBus offers a picturesque way to travel and is completely unaffected by traffic levels. Travelers can board with their luggage without paying any extra fees. Strollers are also carried free of charge. Moreover, all water taxis are accessible and properly equipped to offer passengers with disabilities a pleasant travel experience. They feature both indoor and outdoor seating areas. Although the open-air deck is favored for its stunning views, the air-conditioned indoor area is also popular during the hot summer months. In total, three boats handle the route from the New Port of Mykonos: Margarita X, which can accommodate up to 150 passengers, Mykonos Express, which can carry up to 84 passengers, and Mykonos Star, with a 130-passenger capacity.
The Mykonos SeaBus Route
The Mykonos water taxis operating at Tourlos Port link the New Port with the Old Port in Mykonos Town. Thus, they depart from Mykonos New Port, traveling to the Marina Station of the New Port. From that point, they continue their route to Mykonos Chora, stopping close to the taxi rank and the Old Port Bus Station (North Station). Finally, they terminate their route at the Old Port. The SeaBus stop at the Old Port is located near the gate where boats to Delos depart. Additionally, the area around the Old Port is pedestrian. Therefore, the Mykonos SeaBus is the only way to reach it.
The SeaBus operates from early in the morning until late at night. The first route departs from the Mykonos Ferry Port at 08:30 am, while the last water taxi sails from Tourlos at 11:30 pm. The water taxis run every 30 minutes during rush hours and hourly at other times. During the winter months, routes are significantly fewer, and journeys last longer. Thus, although the crossing’s duration during the summer is approximately 11 minutes, journeys last around 15 minutes during the winter months.
The Mykonos SeaBus Fares
A one-way ticket for the Mykonos SeaBus journey from the New Port to the Old Port in Mykonos Chora costs €2,50/$2,85. Tickets can be bought online or just before boarding the SeaBus. Plus, they can be purchased from collaborating travel agencies or the Delos Tours located at both Mykonos Port (the New Tourlos Port and the Old Port). Please keep in mind that if you book your ticket online, you’ll have to use it on the selected date and time.
The Mykonos New Port SeaBus Stop
The SeaBus stop at Mykonos Ferry Port lies close to the bus stop. Thus, it can be found within a close distance of Ferry Dock 1, while it can easily be reached from the other gates and the terminal building on foot. Once you alight from your ferry, you’ll have to cross the road and walk to the left until you spot the SeaBus vessels waiting to take you to your destination in Mykonos Chora.
FAQs
Is there a sea bus from Mykonos Cruise Port?
The Mykonos SeaBus connects the two ports of the island, the New and the Old Port, departing from Tourlos Port daily from 08:30 am to 11:30 pm at a 30-60-minute frequency. The water taxi runs more frequently during the summer. Thus, at other times, routes are scarcer.
