How to find your ferry in the port of Santorini (Athinios)
Athinios Port in Santorini
All passenger ferries depart from Athinios Port in Santorini and arrive at the New Port of Mykonos (Tourlos). Keep in mind that there is a lot of traffic in both ports during the summer season.
The port is small and it is easy to find your ferry.
In any case, make sure to arrive at the port at least 1 hour in advance since there is a lot of traffic. Especially if you are traveling in high season, keep in mind that both in Mykonos and in Santorini, you will encounter traffic congestion around the port and you should make sure you get there on time. Do you need a transfer? We got you covered! Check out our Transfer service!
Luggage
Luggage storage
Ferry companies have flexible policies when it comes to luggage and there is no specific bag number limit per person.
However, each ticket-holder’s luggage shouldn’t excess of 40 kg or 1 cubic meter.
On the ship, you will find a luggage storage room for your suitcases, that can alternatively be kept next to you on the vessel.
We recommend keeping your personal items with you on board and storing the bulky baggage in the designated area.
Traveling with a car

You will be able to take your car or motorbike to Mykonos after purchasing the relevant ticket. Note that if you have a vehicle, it will be necessary to arrive at the port one hour before the scheduled departure so that you can park (around 60’ to 90’ earlier). Entrance in the garage is forbidden for as long as the trip lasts.
Keep in mind that high-speed vessels with a garage have a limited vehicle capacity and get fully booked quickly. Purchasing your car ticket at your earliest convenience is strongly recommended.
