Mykonos Airport to Ferry Port by Taxi

Taking a Mykonos airport taxi is one of the most convenient ways to reach the Ferry Port. Taxis wait outside the terminal building, on the opposite side of the road, and operate during the airport’s opening hours (approximately 07:00 am–01:00 am in summer and 10:00 am–07:00 pm during the rest of the year).

However, Mykonos taxis are limited in number and often cannot meet passenger demand during peak season. Waiting times at the taxi rank can be long, and it’s common for drivers to pick up multiple passengers heading in the same direction. While this helps reduce queues, it also means sharing the ride. That said, sharing can be cost-effective if you’re traveling to the same destination and agree to split the fare.

The average taxi fare from Mykonos Airport to the Ferry Port is 19€/19$, including the airport surcharge (2.85€). The journey takes about 14–16 minutes under normal traffic conditions.

Additional charges may apply:

Night fare (00:00 am – 05:00 am): approx. 24€/24$
Luggage over 10kg: 0.40€/0.40$ per item

Although some taxis accept card payments, cash is still preferred. Make sure to carry small bills, as drivers often lack change.

Our Tip 1: Tipping is not obligatory, but it’s always appreciated.
Our Tip 2: Most taxi drivers speak English and are generally attentive and helpful.
