Mykonos Hotel map and travel info
Getting there
Planes, trains, automobiles, or maybe even helicopter – we tell you the best way to go.
- Planes
- British Airways operates two flights a week (Thursdays and Sundays) into Mykonos Town from London Gatwick (from £69 one-way). Otherwise, a 25-minute flight from Athens is the quickest route to the island. From there, take a taxi for the 3km drive into the main town.
- Trains
- None. But taking the hydrofoil or a boat are options (1hr 45 mins from Athens on the hydrofoil; up to six hours by boat). Flying is your best bet though, as the boat can be a bit of a backpacker bun fight. Visit the Greek Travel pages for detailed information on getting to the island, at www.gtp.gr.
- Automobiles
- If you want to explore the island’s myriad beaches then it pays to hire a car. Contact Hertz in Mykonos (+30 22890 27346), or go to www.hertz.co.uk. Smith cardholders get a ten per cent discount; simply quote '635230' when you reserve a car.
