Tourlos sits just north of Mykonos Town near the New Port, where the island's ferries and cruise ships arrive. It's a practical, calmer base that suits travellers prioritising easy arrivals and transfers over being in the heart of the action.
The area strings along the coast between the New Port and Chora, with a more functional, everyday feel than the town's lanes. It's quieter in the evenings, and while the harbour hums with ferry activity, staying here keeps you close to the town without being in its late-night core.
Getting around
The New Port is the arrival point for most ferries and cruise transfers, and a short taxi or bus ride reaches Mykonos Town. The airport (JMK) is a quick drive, making this one of the more convenient areas for coming and going.
