Mykonos Car Rentals

Top Tips For Renting a Car in Mykonos

• A rental car is the best way to go around Mykonos as there are very few taxis on the island and buses to some of the best beaches are infrequent and unreliable. Moreover, many places around the island can't even be accessed via public transports, making a car the best option when it comes to exploring this Greek gem and its iconic beaches.
• Mykonos Airport (JMK) is conveniently located 4 kilometers (2.5 miles) from Mykonos town, which translates into a short 10-minute drive. The airport is fairly small and the car rental companies can be found in the arrivals area of the terminal. If you're visiting in the summer months you'll need to book your rental car in advance due to high demand.
• Mykonos is fairly easy to navigate, but always take extra care on high mountain roads, and beep shortly before turning on a blind curve to let oncoming traffic know of your presence. People tend to drive in the middle of the road, especially on narrow roads, so pay attention to that in order to avoid accidents. Watch out for the moped and motorbike drivers as well.
• Mykonos doesn't experience a rush hour per se, but the roads are more crowded from around 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., as that's when people flock to the beaches. The harbor area, near the bus station and ferry docks, tends to get much more congested with shuttle buses dropping off and picking up cruise ship passengers, particularly in the summer.
