You step off the gangway into a sharp salt breeze and the island’s wind immediately has a voice—pressing and playful as it threads between whitewashed houses. The driver meets you at the cruise terminal and, within minutes, Mykonos unfolds: a scatter of low hills, windmills turning like old mechanisms against the bright Aegean, and narrow lanes that funnel the sea’s sound toward the town.

Mind cobblestones and stairs
Wear supportive, closed-toe walking shoes—many lanes and church approaches are uneven and involve short flights of stone steps.
Protect from the sun
Bring a high-SPF sunscreen, sunglasses and a brimmed hat; shade is limited, especially walking between sights near the shoreline.
Port timing is critical
Confirm your ship’s docking and departure times with your guide; the tour is scheduled around ship windows and can be shortened by delays.
Cash for quick purchases
Carry small euro notes for taverna tips, bathrooms and market purchases—some vendors prefer cash for small transactions.
Comfortable walking shoes
Provide traction on cobblestones and protect feet during repeated short walks.
Sun protection (hat, sunscreen, sunglasses)
The Aegean sun is intense, especially on exposed viewpoints like the windmills and Little Venice.
