Mikonos - General Info
Description:
This is a low-lying, rocky island to the east of Siros and south-east of Tinos.
Mikonos is the most popular tourist island in the Cyclades, mainly for its beaches, bars, pretty town and nightlife. Cruise ships visit here in the summer too. The architecture of the town perfectly suits its situation and is a much-photographed image of Greece.
In spite of the number of tourists, its winding alleys and cosmopolitan atmosphere create a very attractive port of call. Quite a contrast to the simple village life on some of the less frequented islands.
Position:
37° 27.74’N, 25° 19.62’E (marina entrance)

14.06.2018. When we came to new port harbour mater said to us: “No SMS — no place”. I found his number at Navionics and he explained that I should send SMS to his number before I arrive.
Also, they have website https://mykonosports.gr with more information. Marina is 2 miles away from old town. No free toilets and showers.
But there is a “maistros” place near the port that offers shower for 5EUR (they give towel and shampoo). Also, they have car rental (50eur Chevrolet Matiz) and bike rental (35eur 200cc).
I visited the Marina Mykonos in August 2017 with my Elan 38. The docks in the SE were rather full, but we found a place to tie up. There is a kind of harbourmaster, who advises you where to go.
It is recommended to call before you arrive, Nikos Rossolatos, Mob. +30 694 694 2091.
The docks are equipped with new moorings, water, and electricity on the waterfront.
The water supply was free, although there are slots for cards. Also, the berthing was free.
Care has to be taken of very strong northerly gusts, which can make docking quite tricky.
Ormos Kormou Ammos on Rinia, 37°25.6’N, 24°12.8’E, is suitable with light southerlies. Good snorkeling amongst the rocks and we were joined by a seal.
Leave early to grab a good anchorage at Delos, it soon fills up with tripper boats and cruise ships.
