Ferry from Koufonissi to Mykonos (Tourlos)

Koufonissi to Mykonos is a high-speed run of around two and a quarter hours, worked by Seajets catamarans such as the Super Jet 2. It links one of the smallest inhabited islands in the Cyclades with one of the busiest, and the contrast either side of the gangway is the point of the trip. Boats of this type carry cars as well as foot passengers, though seating is aircraft-style and the outside decks are limited.

Arrival is at Tourlos, the newer port a couple of kilometres north of Mykonos Town, built to keep the big ferries clear of the old harbour in Chora. Buses and taxis run the short distance into town, and the port has the usual ticket offices, cafes and car hire desks. From Chora you are within reach of Little Venice, the windmills and the beach clubs on the south coast.

The service runs roughly once a day through the season, so it is a workable day-to-day link rather than a turn-up-and-go one. Current departure times, operators and fares are listed in the timetable below. Mykonos is a major hub in its own right, with onward high-speed connections to Paros, Naxos, Santorini and the mainland at Rafina and Piraeus.

Hiring a car

Is it worth hiring a car on Mykonos?

Worth it if you plan to reach beaches like Elia or Kalafatis and the far side of the island, since buses run less often outside town. New Port is about 3km from Chora, roughly a 13-minute drive, and Chora itself is pedestrian-only so you park on the edge and walk in. Quad bikes are a popular alternative.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tips for the Koufonissi to Mykonos (Tourlos) ferry

• Koufonisi's port sits in Chora, the island's only village, so most accommodation is a short walk from the quay; even so, arrive at least 30 minutes before your ferry to Paros is due to depart.
• Book your ferry to Paros online in advance, especially in July and August, since sailings on this small network fill quickly; Chora's travel agency also sells tickets locally, but do not rely on it as your only option.
• From June to September, meltemi winds can bring rough seas and cause Small Cyclades ferries to cancel sailings at short notice; check your ferry company's status before setting out for the port.
• Onboard food prices are higher than onshore – if you are on a budget, bring sandwiches, fruit, and water from a supermarket before you board.
• Never put valuables (passport, wallet, phone, camera, medication) in your main luggage – keep them in your day bag on your person at all times.
