Airport

The airport is one of the most important ones in the Cyclades Islands and offers domestic and international flights to several destinations in Greece and all over Europe. There are no restaurants inside the building, but excellent bars offering light meals and snacks for the journey. You can also find duty free stores that offer useful accessories for the vacation or gifts before the tourists leave the island. Finally, travelers can enjoy free wi-fi throughout the airport and a waiting room for transit passengers.

The airport has a single terminal with an area of about 7,000 square meters and is equipped with facilities for passengers with reduced mobility, such as handicap ramps and accessible toilets. Many passengers, once landed, choose to book a private transfer in taxi in order to get to their accommodation quickly and comfortably, avoiding the stress of public transportation.

Distance

The airport is located about 6 km south of the town center on the west coast of the island. Below, you can find the correct distance from the airport to some attractions that, those who are planning a trip to Mykonos, might consider visiting:

• To the Church of Panagia Paraportiani: This is one of the most iconic attractions on the island. It is located in the historic center of the town and stands out for its unique architecture, with several buildings from different architectural eras stacked on top of each other. It is 13 minutes from the airport with no traffic, and the journey can be much more comfortable if the travelers trust a Mykonos airport taxi service.
• To Elia Beach: For those who are looking for a quieter beach, Elia may be the right choice. Located south of the island, it offers crystal clear waters and a long stretch of golden sand. Tourists can rent an umbrella and sunbed to enjoy the sun in peace, or take a walk along the beach. It is about 10 km from the airport, a 22-minute drive by private car.
• To Ano Mera Village: In this place, people can discover the true soul of the island, see how the islanders live and admire their traditions and culture. This historic village is only 15 min from the airport.

Prices

In the table below, you can find the normal fare for a private taxi service. Please remember that the prices offered by Taxileader are fixed, that means that they are not going to change depending on traffic conditions or route chosen.

Public transportation

The airport is strategically located with an efficient transportation network. Travelers may decide to reach the town center by bus; the company that runs transportation from the airport to the center is called KTEL Mykonos. The best known line, operating 11 times a day during the tourist season, is the one that runs a route from the airport to Chora, also making a stop at the Fabrika bus station. Alternatively, there is a line that runs 4 times a day in peak season that goes directly to the port of the island, a recommended route for those who need to take the ship.

The disadvantages of getting around by bus are definitely the small space, and especially during peak season the public transports are always overcrowded. For those who have a big suitcase, travel in big groups or with young children/elderly people, the waiting time can be very uncomfortable, that is why booking a Mykonos private taxi is the best choice to enjoy a hassle-free journey.
