The not-so-old port of Mykonos
Welcome! You are now standing at the beginning of your ramble through the Chora of Mykonos. Before you is the old port. It is only called so because at the turn of the century it was decided that it could no longer accommodate the sharply increasing traffic and larger hulls of cruise ships of the last five decades or so. This is what the new port at Tourlos Bay is for. The old harbour, first constructed at the end of the seventeenth century, has the typical charm of a Cycladic fishing haven; yet, it is also a hub, as it forms the gateway into Chora. A bus stop and a taxi rank provide the means to venture ever further inland. It also remains the departure point to Mykonos' quintessential raison d'être, Delos, which is just across.
