Fast ferries/Ro-Pax ships connect Mykonos with the surrounding islands Paros, Santorini (Thira), Syros, Tinos, Andros, Naxos, Folegandros, Sifnos, Ios, Amorgos (Katapola), Koufonisi, Milos, Serifos (Livadi), Skiathos, Chios, Ikaria (Evdilos, Agios Kirikos), Samos (Karlovassi), Kimolos, Sikinos, Lesbos (Mytilene), Limnos, Kythnos, Patmos.

Mykonos Town (Chora) was named following the Greek practice to name the island's principal town after the isle itself. The local economy is heavily based on tourism. The island is famous worldwide for its vibrant nightlife and also for being a gay-friendly destination with several major establishments catering to LGBT communities

As cruise port, Mykonos is Cyclades' second most popular island destination - after Santorini. The town features as tourist attractions narrow curving streets, gorgeous blue-colored cube houses, white windmills. There are numerous operational windmills around the isle, but most are in Chora. Kato Mili (lower mills) stand in a row on a hill overlooking the sea.

Like Santorini, Mykonos is often included in Eastern Med itineraries operated by major cruise line brands like Costa, MSC, RCI-Royal Caribbean, NCL-Norwegian, HAL-Holland America, Celebrity, Princess, as well as the luxury travel brands Azamara, RSSC-Regent, Oceania, Seabourn, Windstar, SeaDream.

In 2019, the cruise port handled 550 ship calls with estimated ~700,000 passengers.

Following the COVID crisis, in 2022 Mykonos handled a total of 608 cruise ship calls, which number in 2023 surged to 895 (131 in June alone). However, 2023's over-tourism revealed the island's inadequate infrastructure to handle such a volume of visitors, among which is the lack of facilities (including public toilets) at the port to accommodate passengers from several simultaneously visiting cruise ships.
