fmax Posted May 28, 2007 #1 Share Posted May 28, 2007 I put my research together from my last Med Cruise and created a FAQ thread that people could add to. I thought I should create similar threads for my upcoming Greek/Turkey ports so will start here with a list of things I have uncovered on these sites. So hopefully you summer cruisers can add to it on your return from the Greek Isles... tell us what not to miss, the must sees and the don't waste your time sites. Any amazing bargains that are not to be missed or previously undiscovered restaurants. Things to do • Check out the Pelicans & Windmills • Take bus to local beaches (Paradise, Platis Gialos, etc) • Delos: boats to delos leave every half hour to an hour from the harbor in mykonos, approx 9am till about 3pm. the boat trip takes about 20 minutes and you can easily spend 2 or 3 hours or more on delos.. • Little Venice Useful Websites / message threads http://www.mykonos-web.com/index.htm http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=117807 http://www.greeka.com/cyclades/mykonos/ http://www.*****.com/mykonos.htm Getting Around Apollon Rentals.

Rare YoPhilly Posted August 21, 2007 #5 Share Posted August 21, 2007 We'll be there in late November, too cool for beaches and we don't want to go to Delos. What do you suggest for a half-day visit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbh62ark Posted August 22, 2007 #7 Share Posted August 22, 2007 • Delos: boats to delos leave every half hour to an hour from the harbor in mykonos, approx 9am till about 3pm. the boat trip takes about 20 minutes and you can easily spend 2 or 3 hours or more on delos.. We used this option to go independently to Delos because I don't like stomping around with 50 other passengers on a cruise excursion on the guide's schedule. But I do recommend hiring a guide at Delos. In my opinion, it's not worth your time to go stare at a bunch of ruins if you don't understand what you're seeing. Happy travels, Donna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruising Blue Posted March 11, 2008 #10 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Thanks for the research though! I just realized that Celebrity has no excursions for Mykonos, we will be there in November and I am just getting started, so thanks again.
