The optimal time to book your ferry tickets to Mykonos depends mainly on the season, demand, and how flexible your travel plans are.

If you're traveling during the peak-season months (June-September), we suggest booking at least 1-2 months in advance, especially for high-speed ferries. Mykonos is an extremely popular destination during the summer, so last-minute bookings may be more expensive or even unavailable, particularly on popular routes such as Piraeus - Mykonos.

Note that ferry companies usually promote special offers at the start of the high season, so the best time to book cheaper tickets to Mykonos is probably between May and June.

As for trips in spring (April-May) or autumn (September-October), you can normally book a few weeks in advance and still find good availability. Ticket prices may also be rather lower compared to peak season. However, ferry crossings are usually less frequent, so we recommend booking your spot in advance to ensure availability.

If you're visiting in the off-season (November-March), booking a few days in advance is usually enough. Note, however, that ferries run less frequently.

Famous for its whitewashed beauty, cosmopolitan atmosphere, and electrifying nightlife, Mykonos is one of the most popular holiday destinations in Greece. Boasting stunning beaches, scenic traditional villages, and rich historical interest, the island is a lot more than just a summer party hub.

Mykonos town (Chora) captivates visitors with its stone-paved alleys, photogenic windmills, and the picturesque Little Venice waterfront. The island offers a variety of beaches, from lively party hubs, such as Paradise and Super Paradise, to more remote spots, such as Agios Sostis and Fokos. A day trip to the archeological site of Delos, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is also a must!

When it comes to local delicacies, the island’s highlights include kopanisti cheese and its signature almond sweets, amygdalota.
