Beaches & parks
Ornos beach
A sheltered sandy bay south of town with tavernas and calm water, reached by bus or a short taxi ride.
- Most ships dock at the New Port (Tourlos), about 2–3 km north of town. When it is full, ships anchor offshore and tender passengers to the Old Port in town.
- The SeaBus is the easiest way from the New Port into town (about 12 minutes). Expect queues at the cruise dock when several ships are in.
- Boats to Delos leave from the Old Port at set times and take about 30–40 minutes. Delos is closed from December to March; check return times against all-aboard.
- Greece charges a per-passenger cruise levy each time you go ashore, usually added to your onboard account: here €20 from June to September, €12 in April, May and October, and €4 from November to March.
