| More notes about the Marina | |
Mykonos Marina is a partly finished marina located around two kilometres north of the old harbour and town of Mykonos. It provides good shelter from the prevailing winds and is quiet, being some distance from the main town. Until recently something of a 'free for all', attempts have been made during 2011 to improve the facilities for yachts here and there are at time of writing (August 2011) around a dozen laid moorings for small and medium sized yachts in the marina’s ‘yacht basin’ to starboard on entry and a further 30 for larger (20-25 metre) yachts on the marina’s south west quay (on the inside of the section where the cruise liners berth). Water and electricity (prepaid) are currently available only at the berths on the SW quay.

Marina radio contact
None at present.
There are no dangers in the approach. Usually there will be one or more large cruise ships moored on the outside of the marina breakwater to help identify it. The marina is entered from SE. Depths in the entrance are 5.0 - 6.0 metres.
Berthing
Visiting yachts normally berth stern/bows-to or alongside in the basin immediately to starboard on entering the marina. The basin consists of a short breakwater extending from the shore and protecting the marina from E and a parallel concrete jetty 100 metres further into the marina, creating a U-shaped basin at the NE corner of the marina. There are only 2-3 laid moorings on the breakwater section of the basin and a further 5-6 on either side of the concrete jetty. Once these are taken, yachts need to use their anchors (with great care as there are mooring chains along both sides of the basin). A safer alternative is to go alongside on the shore side of the basin. Depths alongside are 4.25 metres and 4.5 metres along the jetty and breakwater. The basin is the least sheltered part of the marina and gusts will be experienced with strong northerly winds.
There are a further 30 laid moorings for larger (20-25 metre) yachts on the marina’s south west quay (on the inside of the section where the cruise liners berth), but these are usually filled with local power boats and a visiting yacht will be lucky to find a berth here. Unfortunately, these are the only berths with water and electricity.
No berthing assistance is available at present. You are reliant on fellow yachtsmen.
