If you do, you’re in the right place – keep reading to find out how to get to this unique place.
What Is Tragonisi (or Dragonissi, Like It’s Also Called)?
Tragonisi (or Dragonissi) is a small Greek island located one mile east of the eastern coast of Mykonos and 3 miles from the popular Kalafatis Bay on the south coast. It’s an uninhabited place, except for some wild rabbits and goats – however, the waters around it are full of life. The sea here is home to Monachus monachus, Mediterranean monk seals, and yellow sea anemones, which you can see if you decide to embark on an amazing snorkeling adventure.
If you thought snorkeling on the south coast of Mykonos was amazing, wait till you see what the Aegean Sea has prepared for you here! Activities on Dragonissi will make up for an exciting day, trust us.
Here’s Why This Location Is One of the Most Unique Ones of All Cycladic Islands
Tragonisi’s nature is protected, not just because of the precious sea creatures that surround the island but also thanks to the stunning cave system on this Greek island that will take your breath away. Indeed, these caves will make you feel like you’ve stepped into a Pirates of the Caribbean movie. The views are out of this world and undoubtedly worth giving up a day in Mykonos – you won’t regret this trip. It will be one of the best travel experiences of your life.

How to Get to Tragonisi Island From the Coast of Mykonos, Greece?
This small island can be seen from the coast of Mykonos – it looks like a sleeping dragon in the middle of the water, and that’s why they call it Dragonissi. Since the place is so close to Mykonos, it’s clear that the travel time isn’t long. Depending on what boat tour you pick, the sailing adventure can start from the various spots on Mykonos.
Most Tragonisi Tours Start in Chora – The Boat Cruises By the South Coast Until It Gets to Tragonisi
If you’re not too impatient to see the caves, we would suggest picking one of the many boat tours that start from Mykonos town, Chora. They will allow you to get a view of every popular beach on the southern coast before you finally get to Dragonissi.
The tours usually start in the morning or just before noon, and you will be back to Mykonos in the afternoon – just in time to get ready for a night out in one of the popular Mykonos clubs. Of course, you have the option of starting the sailing adventure from some of the beaches closer to Dragonissi than the town is.

Cruise to Tragonisi – Organized Tour That Passes By the Entire South Coast or a Private Tour Planned By You?
Although an organized tour with plenty of other tourists can be a fun experience, it might not be the best choice for everyone. If you are one of the people who prefer a bit more private setting during your vacation, the chances are that you will find these groups too large. Luckily, this doesn’t mean you will have to miss out on seeing the magnificent caves in Dragonissi and the lovely turquoise water that surrounds this tiny islet.
The solution to the crowd problem is easier than you might think – all you need is a private tour on a nice yacht. As we all know, Mykonos is known for being one of the trendiest destinations, so finding a yacht to rent definitely won’t be hard. The best way to get yourself a luxurious vessel is to contact The Ace VIP.
