Transfers & Getting Around

Mykonos has very few taxis for the number of visitors it receives, and summer queues at the airport and the port are real. A pre-booked transfer is the calm way to start and end the trip.

About transfers & getting around in Mykonos

The airport sits only a few kilometres from Mykonos Town, and the new port at Tourlos is a short drive north of it, so transfers are quick — the problem is not distance but supply. The island's taxi fleet is famously small, and in July and August the wait after a ferry docks can be longer than the crossing from a neighbouring island.

Most hotels can arrange pickup, often for a fee. A pre-booked private transfer does the same thing with a confirmed price and a driver waiting with your name. If your accommodation is in a beach area such as Ornos, Platis Gialos or Elia, a transfer also spares you the first-day bus puzzle.

For getting around once you are settled, the public KTEL buses cover the main beaches from two stations in Mykonos Town, sea taxis link the southern beaches in summer, and a scooter or small car is the usual answer for the north of the island.
