Mykonos Airport Overview

Mykonos Airport (JMK) is the air gateway to Mykonos, a hugely popular island in the Greek Cyclades. It opened to flights in 1971 and is now operated by Fraport Greece.

The rhythm of the airport follows the tourist season. Summer brings a large number of international flights, while the quieter months see far fewer connections and shorter operating hours.

How Close Mykonos Airport Is to Mykonos Town

Few island airports are as convenient. The terminal sits about 4 km from Mykonos Town, known locally as Chora, and the drive takes around 10 minutes.

Terminal and Facilities at Mykonos Airport

The airport has one runway and a compact terminal. On peak summer days it can get crowded, so arrive early and expect queues at check-in and security.

Airlines Flying to and from Mykonos

Greek carriers including Aegean Airlines and Sky Express connect the island with Athens. In summer, a long list of European airlines add seasonal flights, from low-cost carriers to full-service airlines, which makes it possible to fly directly from many European cities.

Seasonal routes change each year, so check the current schedule for your dates.

Getting from Mykonos Airport to Your Hotel

• Bus: a public bus stop sits in front of the terminal, with services to Chora and other parts of the island in summer
• Taxi: a taxi service operates around the clock outside the terminal, though demand is high in peak season
• Car or transfer: rental cars and pre-booked transfers are widely used

Exploring Mykonos

Chora's whitewashed lanes, the windmills above Little Venice and the island's many beaches draw visitors all summer. Boats also leave from Mykonos for the archaeological site on the nearby island of Delos.

Tips for Flying from Mykonos Airport

Taxis are in short supply at busy times, so pre-booking a transfer is worth considering in July and August. Out of season, check the airport's operating hours and flight options before you plan your trip.
