About Mykonos and Rhodes

Mykonos

Mykonos has two ports and almost every scheduled ferry uses the new one at Tourlos, 2 km north of town. The walk is unpleasant and the taxis are few, but there is a neat solution most guides bury: a €2 passenger boat that runs from the New Port straight into the old harbour in Chora. Knowing that, plus which of Athens's two ports your ticket names, covers most of what goes wrong here.

Rhodes

Rhodes Town has three working ferry harbours within about a kilometre of each other, and which one your boat uses is decided by the boat, not by where you are going. Get that wrong and you are dragging a suitcase between two of them in August heat. The rest is straightforward: the big ships to Athens sail overnight, the small ones fan out across the Dodecanese, and — rarely for a Greek island — two of them cross to Turkey.
