+ | Mykonos Marina (known locally as the New Port) is a partly finished marina located around two kilometres north of the old harbour and town of Mykonos. It provides good shelter from the prevailing winds and is quiet, being some distance from the main town. Until recently something of a 'free for all' by 2015 a harbour master was on site, new electricity and water pylons were available throughout and chaos was diminished. | ||

Mykonos Marina (known locally as the New Port) is a partly finished marina located around two kilometres north of the old harbour and town of Mykonos. It provides good shelter from the prevailing winds and is quiet, being some distance from the main town. Until recently something of a 'free for all' by 2015 a harbour master was on site, new electricity and water pylons were available throughout and chaos was diminished. See link to: Yachting and Boating World Forum for recent extensive discussions on the improvements to Mykonos Marina.
Communication
Ch 12 (Port Authority)
There are no dangers in the approach. Usually there will be one or more large cruise ships moored on the outside of the marina breakwater to help identify it. The marina is entered from SE. Depths in the entrance are 5.0 - 6.0 metres.
Entrance
This marina is a port of entry/exit.
Submit details about facilities for checking in - where to dock, location of immigration & customs, etc.
Berthing
Visiting yachts normally berth stern/bows-to or alongside in the two basins immediately to starboard on entering the marina. The basins consists of a short breakwater extending from the shore and protecting the marina from SE and two parallel concrete jetties 100 metres and 200 metres further into the marina. Ground chains are in place for laid lines in both bays. Laid lines are in service on the South side of the North quay and near the root of the south quay. Once these are taken, yachts need to use their anchors (with great care as there are mooring chains along both sides of the basin). A safer alternative is to go alongside on the shore side of the basin. Depths alongside here are greater than 3 metres. Depths along the jetty and breakwater range from 4.25 metres at the root to 4.5 metres at the end. The basin is the least sheltered part of the marina and gusts will be experienced with strong northerly winds. The basin is also subject to some swell, especially in strong S winds. Boats will also tie stern to the outside of the breakwater. Depths are greater than 3 metres from the mid point out.
There are a further 30 laid moorings for larger (20-25 metre) yachts on the marina’s south west quay (on the inside of the section where the cruise liners berth), but these are usually filled with local power boats and a visiting yacht will be lucky to find a berth here.
Port Manager, Nikos, is present every day, including in winter. Call Ch.12 for help.
Facilities
Water and electricity (prepaid system) is available throughout the marina. Fuel by mini tanker only. No other facilities. Well stocked Minimart nearby 0700 - 23:00.
Repairs
Nothing in the marina, but for the whole high season (starting 15 April) there is a trailer which is a fixed service station for charter boats: can also help. In town, in the very center, there is a good chandlery (in a cave). Reasonable prices, open all year around.
The yacht jetty in Mykonos Marina |
The yacht basin from WSW (alongside berths straight ahead) |
The SW quay – usually filled with powerboats |
Security
Poor. Its only protection is its remoteness from the town.
Location
The marina is about half an hour's walk from the town and its attractions.
There are a couple of good restaurants close to the marina.
Matthews Taverna across the street has good food but tourist prices. Servings are large.
Oregano, 1km away on a good walk up the hill, should be taken into account: open all year around, it is a restaurant for Greeks, with fresh food and reasonable (cheap) prices. Can deliver all food at anytime in the Marina.
Transportation
Car/scooter hire outlet opposite the marina. Regular bus service into town during the season. Also local taxis 22890 22400 are very inexpensive at €5-8 into town. Sea Bus leaves from the Marina to town on the half hour until 21:30 - €2
Price
The marina is run by the Town of Mykonos. There are offices of both the port police and the Port Authority. Charges are the same as all other city marinas in Greece: about 140€ month for a 35ft.
