Mykonos Airport to Mykonos Town: All Ways To Travel

You can travel by bus, taxi and private transfer from Mykonos Airport to Mykonos Town. You can even walk if you are feeling fit enough!

Mykonos Airport – Mykonos Town Transportation Options

The distance between Mykonos International Airport and Mykonos Town is less than 4 kms. This makes the journey to the center very quick, although in the peak season there will be additional waiting time and traffic.

For most people staying in Mykonos Town, the public bus will be the most useful means of transport. An airport taxi ride might be a better choice if traveling with a lot of luggage. A taxi is probably also better when staying just outside the center of Mykonos Chora.

If traveling in the high season, particularly the months of July and August, I strongly recommend that you pre-book a taxi in Mykonos to pick you up from the arrival terminal building. This time of year is very busy, so why not get your vacation in Mykonos off to the smoothest start possible?!

Thinking of driving in Mykonos, and want to rent a car to go to your Mykonos town hotel? Having a car in Mykonos is a great way to see the island, but make sure there is somewhere to park it at or near your hotel! I recommend Discover Cars for car rentals in Mykonos.
