wintertexancruiser Posted October 14, 2022 #1 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Our shore excurion was cancelled in Mykonsis and there are none available. Is there anything to see or do that is walkable in the port? Just wondering if worth getting off the ship. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mapleleaves Posted October 14, 2022 #2 Share Posted October 14, 2022 If you mean Mykonos, yes, it's easily walkable. And definitely worth getting off the ship! We docked in Mykonos and there was a free shuttle into Old Town. But for the return we thought it would be more fun and scenic to take the SeaBus for 2e. We walked to the windmills, thru Old Venice for the photo opps, then just wandered off the main walkways in order to get photos of the quiet alleys with the bouganvilla and brightly colored doors. A very enjoyable and relaxing day! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeHeartCruising Posted October 14, 2022 #3 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Mykonos is a great port for just getting off the ship, using shuttles (if necessary), and just exploring and relaxing and soaking up the local scene. Enjoy your day ashore! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ISLABONITA Posted October 14, 2022 #4 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Depending on the shore excursion you can buy tickets where the boats dock for an excursion to Ancient Delos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very enjoyable and relaxing day! Hi there. We've got a 21-day cruise with lots of ports where we've booked full 8-9 hour excursions. We were thinking in Mykonos of just winging it for a change of pace.. and doing pretty much what you've explained.. walking through the old town, seeing the windmills, lunch in little Venice, walking to the old port etc. We still want to maximise the full day though. Do you think that will see us right for the day.. or should I be looking to add stuff to the list? t.i.a. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeHeartCruising Posted October 15, 2022 #6 Share Posted October 15, 2022 The only thing I would add is "Sit in a pleasant place for a while and watch the world go by." Your day sounds like a perfect, unstructured day that is going to be enjoyed as a break from all the full-day excursions you have planned. Just wing it and enjoy.

Rare mskaufman Posted October 16, 2022 #7 Share Posted October 16, 2022 For sure worth getting off the boat. We just walked around the town. Mark and Karen Europe 2013 (shutterfly.com) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
