Going to Delos from Mykonos?

[axariotisxy]

Delos looks fascinating and I will be in Mykonos this summer. Is it realistic to do this as a day trip from Mykonos?

Has anyone done this before? I'd love to hear your recommendations and tips! How long is the boat ride, and are there specific tour operators you recommend?

What are the must-see spots on Delos, and how much time should I allocate to explore the island thoroughly?

I recall it's possible to take a Ferry from Mykonos to Delos but I am not sure the details. I saw a sign for it last time I was there.

Depending on your interests and budget, it looks like there are three ways to get to Delos: via ferry, an organized tour (Viator, Get Your Guide), or a catamaran trip of two islands. The boat trip takes about a half hour and most tours are half-day. I took the ferry there years ago and it is a special historical site. Last year I went on a catamaran day trip on Milos. It was super fun, but Mykonos wouldn’t have as much nautical scenery as Milos did where the white cliffs were absolutely stunning. If you want more information, perhaps taking the organized tour would be best.

I vote for the organized tour as well. I was just on Mykonos. I didn't make it to Delos but trying to navigate through the transportation system is a little confusing. I finally found the area for the water taxis (I was trying to get to a beach) and ... I mean it just wasn't straightforward. An organized tour takes care of all these details.
