Timetable and season of the Athens to Mykonos ferry

Several a day in summer - that is how often the ferry from Athens to Mykonos runs, with more departures in summer and fewer, sometimes weather-dependent, in winter. Allow about 2 hours 30 minutes at sea plus check-in at the port. Timetables change between seasons, so we send the exact departures for your travel date rather than a list that may be out of date.

Sea conditions matter on this route: strong winds can delay or cancel high-speed boats while the conventional ferries keep sailing. When the forecast is poor we tell you and, if you prefer, book the steadier vessel.

Departure: Piraeus or Rafina

Piraeus or Rafina is where the Athens to Mykonos ferry begins. We tell you whether tickets are scanned at a gate or on board, whether an ID or passport is required, and how early to arrive for your sailing and vessel. On busy summer days the port is crowded, so the margin matters.

• Haqqi Tours can provide a private transfer from your hotel in Athens to the port on request
• Ask us which gate or terminal your sailing uses - big ports have several
• Foot passengers: at the port 45-60 minutes before departure; vehicles 60-90 minutes
• Keep the e-ticket and the ID or passport used for booking together

Arrival: Mykonos New Port (Tourlos)

You step off at Mykonos New Port (Tourlos), close to Platis Gialos and Psarou and Agios Ioannis. Public buses run from Fabrika square and the Old Port to the main beaches in summer but are crowded, and taxis are scarce in high season; a pre-booked private car from the airport or port is the simplest option, especially with luggage or a late arrival. If you would rather not think about it, we book a driver to meet the ferry and take you to the door of your accommodation.

Onward journeys from Mykonos - another ferry, a flight or a train the same day - can be added to the booking; let us know and we time the crossing to fit.

On board the Athens to Mykonos ferry: seats, cabins, cars and luggage

On board, the ferry from Athens to Mykonos is relaxed: you can walk about, sit inside or on deck, eat at the café and watch the coast. Seat classes differ in space and quiet - economy, airline seats, lounge or business on the fast boats; cabins of two to four berths on overnight ferries. Taking the car means driving on, parking as directed, and coming back down only at the arrival port.

• Vehicles on the car deck - give us the car's length and height when booking
• Children's fares by age; infants usually free
• Pets accepted on many ships in carriers or kennels - tell us if one is travelling
• Seats: economy, airline-style, lounge and business on the fast boats; deck seats on the slow ferries

Things to do in Mykonos after the ferry

Mykonos is the glamorous Cycladic island of windmills, Little Venice, beach clubs and the sacred island of Delos. Start with the Kato Mili windmills, the Paraportiani church and the Archaeological Museum, then the Aegean Maritime Museum and the Old Port. A tip from our desk: Let us know your flight or ferry details and hotel name; cars cannot enter the pedestrian lanes of Chora, so expect a short walk from the drop-off, and check whether your ferry uses the New Port or the Old Port.

Haqqi Tours provides guided tours, tickets, transfers and private drivers in Mykonos; ask when you book the ferry and we send the options.

Best time to take the ferry from Athens to Mykonos

The ferry from Athens to Mykonos runs all year on most operators, but not equally: summer brings the most sailings and the highest fares, shoulder months the best balance, winter a reduced service. Late May to June and September to early October are warm and less crowded; July and August are the busiest months, with heavy traffic between 5 and 8 pm and a strong meltemi wind that can stop boats to Delos; most businesses close from November to April. Whatever the month, booking early is the single biggest saving, especially with a car or a cabin.

Ferry or flight from Athens to Mykonos?

Ferry versus plane between Athens and Mykonos comes down to time, luggage and the view: the ferry has the deck, the luggage and the town-centre arrival; the plane has speed. On this route the ferry is the option Haqqi Tours recommends first for families and anyone with a car.

Return ferry from Mykonos to Athens

We book the return crossing from Mykonos to Athens just as easily, normally on the same confirmation. Round-trip fares and open returns are cheaper on many operators, so booking both directions together saves money. Tell us the day you want to come back on the form and we send both directions with the cost.

How much does the ferry from Athens to Mykonos cost?

"How much is the ferry ticket from Athens to Mykonos?" has several answers, because the operators price the slow boat and the fast boat differently, charge separately for vehicles and cabins, and raise fares in high season. Haqqi Tours offers the current cost for the date you travel and party - foot passengers, car, seats or cabin - within minutes of receiving the form, and tells you which sailing is the best value.

What we include in the price we send: the ticket for each passenger, the vehicle if you bring one, any reserved seat or cabin you asked for, port taxes, and our service - checking the timetable, booking, sending the electronic ticket and answering questions before and during the crossing.

Cheapest ferry ticket from Athens to Mykonos: how to pay less

Getting the lowest fare on the ferry from Athens to Mykonos is a matter of vessel, timing and flexibility. Here is how Haqqi Tours finds you a cheap ferry ticket:

• Choose the conventional ferry over the high-speed boat when time allows - it is cheaper, steadier and often more scenic
• Book early for July, August, Easter and holiday weekends, when sailings sell out and fares rise
• Travel on a weekday - Friday and Sunday sailings carry the highest fares
• Let us know if your dates are flexible; moving by a day often changes the fare
• Compare operators - on this route the cheapest company changes with the date
• Price the crossing with and without the car - for two people a rental at the other end is sometimes cheaper

Send us the form with your dates and we tell you which sailing is the cheapest ferry from Athens to Mykonos that day and how much a different day would save.
