Mykonos is one of the most famous and cosmopolitan islands in the Cyclades archipelago, located in the Aegean Sea. This stunning Greek island has become a premier cruise destination, attracting millions of visitors each year with its iconic whitewashed buildings, vibrant nightlife, pristine beaches, and rich history. Mykonos serves as a tender port, meaning cruise ships anchor offshore and passengers are transported to the island via smaller boats. The main port area is located in Mykonos Town (Chora), which is just a short walk from the tender landing point. The island's strategic location makes it an ideal gateway to explore the ancient ruins of Delos, a UNESCO World Heritage site just a short boat ride away.
