Mykonos Bus Timetable

If you are heading to Mykonos and do not want to hire a car, the local bus network is the easiest and cheapest way to explore the island. It links the main town with the airport, the ports and almost every beach worth visiting, and it runs all day and well into the night during the summer. This guide covers everything you need to know about the Mykonos bus timetable, including routes, ticket prices, and how the schedule changes between summer and winter.

What Bus Company Runs in Mykonos

All public buses on the island are run by KTEL Mykonos, the only public transport provider available. There are no trains, trams or metro lines on Mykonos, so the KTEL bus network is the backbone of getting around without your own vehicle. The buses are modern, air conditioned, and most of them have room underneath for luggage, which is handy if you are heading straight from the port or the airport to your hotel.

One thing worth knowing before you travel is that most buses are not wheelchair friendly, so travellers with mobility needs should look into private transfers instead.

Where the Buses Depart From

Mykonos has 2 main bus terminals, and it helps to know which one you need before you set off.

Fabrika Station, sometimes called South Station, sits at the edge of Mykonos Town and serves the southern beaches. From here you can catch a bus to the airport, the New Port, Platys Gialos, Ornos, Agios Ioannis, Paradise, Paraga and Super Paradise.

Old Port Station, also known as North Station, is close to the old harbour and covers the northern and eastern side of the island. Buses from here go to Agios Stefanos, the New Port, Ano Mera, Kalafatis, Elia, Kalo Livadi and Panormos.

There is no direct bus connecting the two stations. If you need to switch between them you will have to walk through the streets of Chora, which takes around 15 to 20 minutes.

How Much Does the Bus Cost in Mykonos

Tickets are cheap no matter where you are travelling to. Prices generally sit between 1.50 euros and 3 euros, depending on how far you are going. Night services tend to cost a little more than daytime ones.

You can buy your ticket straight from the driver using cash, or from the small ticket booths at the main stations. There are no day passes or multi trip cards, so each ticket only covers a single journey. It is worth carrying a bit of loose change with you, since drivers do not always have plenty available for large notes.

Fare type	Approximate price
Standard daytime ticket	1.50 to 2.50 euros
Longer routes	up to 3 euros
Night service	slightly higher than day fare
Day pass	not available

Mykonos Bus Routes and Summer Timetable

Mykonos runs on 2 very different schedules. From around May to September, buses are frequent and cover almost every corner of the island. Outside those months, the timetable shrinks a great deal. Below are the main summer routes and departure times, which apply to the busiest months of the year. All times are shown using the 24 hour clock.

Because this is a small island with a lot of visitors, timetables are updated more than once during the summer season, especially on the busier beach routes. It is always worth double checking the board at the station or the official KTEL Mykonos website on the day you travel, particularly for your return journey.

Mykonos Bus Timetable in Winter

Once the tourist season winds down after September, the whole picture changes. Buses run far less often, usually no more than 3 or 4 times a day on each route, and some services stop completely until the following spring. Routes to quieter beaches such as Kalo Livadi and Panormos are among the first to be cut back or paused entirely.

If you are visiting Mykonos outside the summer months, plan around the timetable rather than the other way round. Check the schedule as soon as you arrive, and build your day trips around the available departure and return times, since gaps between buses can stretch to several hours.

Handy Tips for Riding the Bus in Mykonos

Arrive a few minutes early, since buses in Mykonos tend to leave right on time and will not wait around for latecomers.

Keep your ticket until the end of the journey, as inspections do happen from time to time.

Pack light if you can, since space for luggage is limited, especially on the smaller beach routes.

If you are travelling very late in the evening or very early in the morning, check twice that a service is actually running, since night buses are less frequent and seasonal.

For anyone planning a full day exploring several beaches, it often works out cheaper and simpler to check the return times at your first stop, so you are not left waiting too long to move on to the next one.

Getting Between the Airport, the Port and Your Hotel

Both the airport and the main port have direct bus connections into the centre of town, making it simple to reach your accommodation without booking a taxi or private transfer. From the airport, buses head to Fabrika roughly every 30 to 60 minutes throughout the day. From the New Port, where most large ferries dock, buses run on a similar frequency towards the centre of town.

Final Thoughts

The bus network in Mykonos is reliable, affordable and covers most places visitors want to reach, especially during the busy summer months. The main thing to remember is that schedules shift throughout the year and even within the season, so always check the timetable close to your travel date rather than relying on times you read weeks in advance. With a little planning, the bus is a stress free way to hop between the beaches, the town and the port without needing to hire a car.
