    The tour and guide were...

    The tour and guide were fantastic! The only concern was directions weren’t clear regarding time to get sea bus to where the Delos boat was. I left cruise ship, took bus and waited an hour and half before Delos boat left.

    Great tour

    This was well paced. We had a really knowledgeable guide who gave us a lot of great information. The boat ride over took about 30 minutes but was fine.

    This was a wonderful...

    This was a wonderful excursion. All three couples enjoyed the boat ride and the guided tour on Delos. Very interesting. Our guide was exceptional.

    Seeing the lions was worth the tour

    Celia our guide was very knowledgeable about Delos and took good care to make sure we all were keeping up with her. The ruins were truly “ruined” bc, as she explained, the materials have been looted throughout the centuries and used elsewhere. But seeing the lions was worth the trip alone.

    a nice day trip

    Go early to avoid the crowd , take the 10h ferry you ll need 2h on site and if possible chose a day when the sea is calm. The 30 min trip was 45 min in the morning and 50 for the return trip

    Half Day Delos Tour of Mykonos from the Cruise Ship Port: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mykonos.

    How much does Half Day Delos Tour of Mykonos from the Cruise Ship Port cost?

    +

    Prices start at $74 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Mykonos usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Half Day Delos Tour of Mykonos from the Cruise Ship Port take?

    +

    Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Mykonos is not rushed.

    Is Half Day Delos Tour of Mykonos from the Cruise Ship Port worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.1/5 across 50 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Mykonos, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Half Day Delos Tour of Mykonos from the Cruise Ship Port?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Half Day Delos Tour of Mykonos from the Cruise Ship Port suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Half Day Delos Tour of Mykonos from the Cruise Ship Port?

    +

    Around 18 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Mykonos can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Mykonos and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Half Day Delos Tour of Mykonos from the Cruise Ship Port start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Mykonos within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Mykonos?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Mykonos experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Mykonos: Brand-New Catamaran Cruise with Meal, Drinks & Transport, Tour and Wine Tasting in Mykonian Land, Mykonos Small Group Tour for Cruise Passengers — Port Pickup. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Mykonos?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Mykonos?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
