and on one of the other popular islands, such as Santorini or Crete, <strong>you can take a ferry to Mykonos.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ferry ride is slightly longer than the flight, but it&#8217;s a great way to see some of the other Greek islands along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many visitors also come to Mykonos on <strong>cruise ships<\/strong> since the island is a popular stop on many

tour.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The local guide is an expert on the island and knows exactly what to do in Mykonos in a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This way, you can make the most of your time and see all the best highlights of Mykonos without having to worry about getting lost or missing anything important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, I know not everyone likes taking guided tours and would rather explore on their own. (Depending on the destination, I&#8217;m the same way).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Luckily, you&#8217;ll have my suggested itinerary above, which you can use to explore Mykonos on your own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#dcf0fe\"><strong>\ud83c\uddec\ud83c\uddf7 See the best of Mykonos on this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.viator.com\/tours\/Mykonos\/Mykonos-Half-Day-Private-Island-Tour\/d958-16227P2?pid=P00039654&amp;mcid=42383&amp;medium=link&amp;campaign=one-day-in-mykonos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">private island tour<\/a>.
