Santorini → Mykonos
Santorini to Mykonos keeps the same four daily high-season sailings, seasonal only, as the outbound leg, but the pressure point here is usually a Mykonos hotel or flight rather than the return trip. Fast ferry 2h10m, conventional 3h30m. High wind risk on this open stretch means summer afternoon departures are the ones most likely to be delayed or cancelled, so a morning sailing and a half-day buffer before anything time-sensitive in Mykonos is the safer plan.
Wind & disruption risk: High · 126 km (68 nautical miles)
Ferry options
At the port
Boats leave Athinios, 10km from Fira along a hillside road, and dock at Mykonos's New Port in Tourlos, 3km from Chora. Arrive an hour early: this route carries one of the higher wind exposures on the network, and delays are common in a strong meltemi. Blue Star Ferries runs the conventional option and takes cars; SeaJets covers the fast crossing but with little to no vehicle space.
