Getting around
From the airport
The airport is about 4 km from Mykonos Town. A taxi to town takes around 10 minutes and usually costs โช60-100, while the bus to Fabrika is much cheaper at roughly โช8-12 but runs seasonally; expect 15-20 minutes and about โช90-150 by taxi to Ornos or Platis Gialos.
Need a car?
A car is not essential if you stay in Chora, Ornos or Platis Gialos and use buses and beach boats. It is useful for Ano Mera and remote beaches such as Agios Sostis, Fokos and Lia, but roads are narrow, parking near Chora is limited and July-August traffic is heavy.
Tips
In summer, pre-book a taxi or transfer, especially for late-night arrivals, because the island has a limited taxi fleet. Buses mainly depart from Fabrika and the Old Port, and there is no single central station connecting every route.
Kosher & Jewish
Chabad / community
A Chabad center generally operates in Mykonos during the summer season, serving Israeli travelers with prayers, Shabbat meals and kosher food by advance reservation. Its location and operating schedule can vary by season, so confirm directly with Chabad Mykonos before traveling; the island does not have a large resident Jewish community or extensive kosher infrastructure.
Kosher food
For strict kosher observance, the safest options are pre-ordering from Chabad, booking a room with a kitchenette and bringing sealed products from Israel; larger supermarkets carry produce, eggs, pasta and packaged goods, but certification must be checked. Travelers who are comfortable with kosher-friendly choices often order Greek salad, vegetables, potatoes and fish, while recognizing that cookware and kitchens are not kosher.

Local tips
Good to know about Mykonos
- โ๏ธDirect flights from Tel Aviv operate mainly in season, and July and August fares rise quickly, so book at least two months ahead.
- ๐Mykonos has very few taxis, so use KTEL buses from Fabrika for beaches such as Psarou, Platis Gialos and Paraga, or pre-book a nighttime transfer.
- ๐จFor couples who want nightlife without a car, I recommend staying in Chora, while families and travelers seeking an easier, quieter beach base should choose Ornos or Platis Gialos.
- ๐ฌ๏ธIn July and August, the Meltemi wind can be strong, so on windy days choose relatively sheltered southern beaches such as Ornos and Psarou rather than the northern coast.
- ๐ฝ๏ธKosher services and Chabad in Mykonos may operate seasonally, so contact them in advance rather than assuming kosher food will be available on arrival.
- ๐ณAt beach clubs, reserve ahead and request the sunbed price or table minimum in writing, as peak-season charges can reach hundreds or even thousands of shekels per couple.

"Mykonos is an addictive mix of blue Cycladic water, whitewashed houses and an energy that begins gently and carries on until sunrise. Israelis love it because you can go from lounging in Ornos Bay to sunset drinks in Little Venice on the same day, without feeling you have wasted a moment."
Loves
My secret is to reach Agios Sostis in the morning, before the wind and crowds build, and then continue to nearby Kikiโs Tavern. It does not take reservations, so I arrive before opening and choose fish and vegetable dishes that suit my travelersโ kosher preferences.
Skip
I do not recommend sitting down at a waterfront bar in Little Venice without checking the menu and prices first, because the view is wonderful but the bill can be an expensive trap.
Boutique pick
I design a day that starts with an early swim at Psarou, continues with a pre-booked table at Scorpios and sunset music above Paraga Bay. From there, you return to the hotel to get ready, then walk through Choraโs lanes to the bars of Little Venice and dancing at Astra.

Is kosher food available in Mykonos, and is the island better for families or couples?
