When should I buy cheap tickets to Mykonos?

This stunning island is no stranger to tourism and come late spring, the locals begin to gear up for peak season. This lasts from May to October, coinciding with the beach weather, and this is when international flights touch down at Mykonos Airport. May is the cheapest month to travel, not only for flights but accommodation, too. September to mid-October is also a great time to visit, as the cruise crowds have mostly thinned out. Partygoers may wish to head in July and August, however, when the sun is blazing down and the island is alive with music and holidaymakers.

How do I get to Mykonos?

During peak season, you’ll find plenty of cheap flights to Mykonos from the UK’s biggest airports. British Airways flies direct from London Heathrow, while easyJet offers direct flights from London Gatwick, London Luton and Manchester. With the trip lasting only four hours, you’ll be basking in sunshine in no time. For off-season travel to Mykonos, check out connecting flights, usually via Athens, with Aegean Airlines.

Getting from Mykonos Airport to Mykonos Town centre

Mykonos Airport is located just 2.5 miles southeast of Mykonos Town centre. As it’s so close, many hotels offer free or cheap transfers, and this is the most popular mode of transport. Check with your accommodation beforehand and if you need to make your own way, you’ll have no trouble finding a taxi for around €10. During peak season, you can catch a bus to the Fabrika bus terminal in Mykonos Town centre for €2. However, they don’t run all that frequently so if you can’t see the bus, you’re best off not waiting around.

Sun holidays in ancient Greece

When people think of Greek holidays, they think sand, sun and dance parties. Mykonos is all that and then some. When not working on your tan, swimming in crystalline waters or partying into the early hours, a wealth of exploring awaits. Get your photo taken in front of the island’s iconic 16th-century Venetian windmills and visit Petros the Pelican, the island’s mascot, at his waterfront hangout. In the evening, take a romantic stroll through Little Venice, where fishing houses converted into bars and restaurants offer picture-perfect views of the sun setting over the Aegean Sea. Or visit the 10 villages that populate the island to see traditional tavernas and quaint squares.
