Water taxi from Mykonos terminal?

[bobloblaw007]

I was reading the recent Regal Princess reviews on Mykonos and read in one of them:

 

Princess' bus was $10 a person...literally a 25 yard walk from the gangway was the public water taxi for 2 Euros a person which took you to a much better location in town.

 

can anyone shed some light on this? Through my research into Mykonos, I have never come across this information. If anyone can confirm its existence and provide more info, that'll be great!

We did this in August. Princess had everyone scared that there was no other transportation into town other than their shuttle. I happened to see the water taxi sign and kiosk when I was having an early morning walk on board after we docked at Mykonos. My family took the water taxi, probably had a 10 min wait to fill it with more passengers, and it did drop us off close to the windmills.

Good to know. I assume you can take it back to the ship?

Absolutely. There are times posted for departures. I'll be posting a review this wknd on this board which will go into more detail about our Mykonos stop and other public transportation we used there.

Thanks for the info. I assume you were docked and not tendering in Mykonos?

The walk into town is really not that far and very pleasant. That's what we did.

Correct.

 

As an aside, just want to let you know that your posts have been a wealth of great information over our past cruises!

Looking forward to more information - just in case we dock :)

Thank you!!

We just returned home from the 12-day Regal Princess sailing. The water taxi information from the 'new' pier is as posted.

 

We were there only a half day and it would have taken too much of our time to walk.

Pay the $10 pp!! The $2 water taxi caused 2 pax to almost miss the ship! Greek transportation runs on island time and is not considered reliable. Pay the $10 and be rest assured of making it back in time! We had smooth, efficient transport.
