Mykonos → Santorini
Four sailings a day link Mykonos and Santorini in high season, seasonal rather than year-round, so this route effectively does not exist outside roughly April to October. The SeaJets fast ferry takes 2h10m; the conventional Blue Star Ferries option 3h30m. Wind risk is high, among the more exposed inter-island legs, and this is a common route for cancellations when the meltemi builds in July and August, so pad any onward Santorini flight or hop by at least half a day.
Wind & disruption risk: High · 126 km (68 nautical miles)
Ferry options
At the port
Ferries leave Mykonos's New Port at Tourlos, 3km from Chora, and arrive at Athinios, Santorini's port, a winding 10km bus or taxi ride below Fira. Arrive an hour ahead given the high wind risk and possible schedule shuffling. The Blue Star Ferries conventional service takes cars; the SeaJets fast catamaran mostly does not, so plan the car booking around the slower option.
