How to get from Syros to Mykonos

With Syros being the administrative centre of the Cyclades islands in Greece, and Mykonos being one of the most popular destinations, it will not come as a surprise that these two islands are well connected by ferry.

Mykonos Island is a top Greek destination known for its pristine beaches and lively nightlife. A must-visit attraction is the iconic windmills that overlook the island's town.

Visitors can also explore the colorful narrow streets of Mykonos Town, lined with flowers and white-washed houses. Another popular spot is Little Venice, a picturesque area with restaurants and bars perched right on the water.

For those interested in history, the island also offers several museums and the ancient ruins of Delos to explore. The island is often the preferred destination for those looking to continue their Greek island hopping after spending time in Syros.

Its energy and reputation as a party destination make it a great alternative to the quieter pace of Syros. And now here's a look at the ferries from Syros to Mykonos.

During the summer months, which is the high season in Greece, you can expect at least four ferries per day sailing from Syros to Mykonos.

It's also one of the quickest ferry trips in the Cyclades group of islands, with the fastest ferry taking as little as 25 minutes. Even the slower boat has a relatively quick travel time of 1 hour and 20 minutes.

  • Ferries sail from the main port in the town of Ermoupoli in Syros. Arriving ferries dock at New Tourlos port, a few kilometres from Mykonos Town in Mykonos.

If you are traveling to Mykonos in the busiest time of summer, I advise reserving places to stay in Mykonos a month or so in advance. I've a full guide here: Where to stay in Mykonos.

  • Make sure to check out these beaches in Mykonos: Lia, Kalafatis, Paradise, Super Paradise, Platis Gialos, Agios Sostis, and Agrari. A full guide here: Best beaches in Mykonos.
