Transportation

 

Mykonos Airport offers several transport options to reach the city centre and other parts of the island. It is recommended to check the updated timetables, especially outside the high season.

Public Buses (KTEL)

There are KTEL Mykonos services from a stop located outside the terminal towards the south station of Mykonos, at Fabrika Square, and towards the New Port (Tourlos).

Airport - Fabrika Square

  • Duration: Approximately 10-15 minutes.
  • Fare: €2.00. Make sure to check the current fare with the driver. Tickets are purchased on the bus and generally only cash is accepted.
  • Frequency: In high season, the service is usually every hour.

Airport - New Port (Tourlos)

  • Duration: Approximately 20 minutes.
  • Fare: €2.00.
  • Frequency: In high season, the service may run every 1.5 to 3 hours.

From the two bus terminals in the city (Fabrika and Old Port), different points of the island can be reached.

Note: Buses run infrequently (generally only 3-4 times per day or less) during winter or low season. It is recommended to check the updated timetables on the official KTEL Mykonos website before travelling.

Rent a Car

 

Taxis

There is a taxi rank available outside the arrivals area. This is the most direct means of transport to reach the city (around 10 minutes, depending on traffic) and different areas of the island.

Fare: The trip to Mykonos town can cost between €15.00 and €25.00 during the day, depending on congestion, the exact location, and the taximeter. Night-time fares (0:00 am - 5:00 am) are usually higher. It is advisable to carry cash, as not all accept credit cards.

Useful Information: Due to the limited availability of taxis on the island, especially during the high season, it is recommended to book in advance or consider other options if you arrive at very busy times.

Transportation Tips to/from the airport

Although there are issues that seem more than obvious, it is always advisable to take them into account when moving to or from the airport, and especially if we go by public transport.
 
 1- To the airport - It is convenient to leave with a little more anticipation than what is commonly suggested. If you choose a taxi or a private car service, always take into account peak traffic times, demonstrations, strikes or events that may delay the journey to the airport from where you are. It is always good to be informed about what is happening.
 
If you contract a shared transfer service, have a contact telephone number handy in case of any delay by the company. In these cases they usually already have a scheduled collection time.
 
If you use public transport (collective, train) take into account the schedules (weekends and holidays tend to have less frequency), if you have to change and also how to board (if you need a card or paying the driver or motorist at the moment ). These are details that seem obvious, but it is advisable to know so as not to have surprises and suffer a delay that could cause complications.
 
If you rent a car to get to the airport, check where to leave the vehicle. At some airports, there is an exclusive parking lot for rental cars.
 
 2 -From the airport- Here it is a little less stressful since you don't have the pressure of missing your flight. In the worst case, you will arrive later at the place where you are going to stay or at the meeting point where you are trying to arrive.
 
Once you leave the plane, look for your suitcase and finish with the arrival procedures that are required. Then, follow the directions for public transportation or ask the airport staff.
 
It is very useful to find out in advance the schedules of the buses or trains in case you arrive late at night. Not all work 24 hours. The same goes for taxis. In case of using an Uber-type service, have the mobile application handy to contact the driver.
 
On the other hand, if you booked a private transport service, it is likely that they will have a person waiting for you, identified with a sign. If you rent a car to go from the airport to your final destination, for greater peace of mind it is advisable to book it in advance. Rental counters are usually available in the arrivals hall.
