Flights to Mykonos

Mykonos is home to some of the world’s most famous dance clubs as well as many iconic landmarks, sandy beaches and picturesque villages. Being one of the most popular islands in the Aegean Sea, particularly for British tourism, flights to Mykonos are frequent. Indeed, Mykonos offers numerous low-cost airlines flying directly from the UK. Its main airport, Mykonos Island National Airport, offers connections to other Greek cities like Athens and Thessaloniki.

Which is the main airport in Mykonos?

Mykonos Island National Airport is the only airport on the Greek island. Located 2 miles away from the central town and the closest coastline, the journey takes roughly ten minutes via car. During the high season, Mykonos Island National Airport can get quite busy due to it being a small airport, so arriving with enough time is highly recommended.

Which airlines offer flights to Mykonos?

The availability of flights to Mykonos depends on the season, seeing as many services are only operated during the Summer, specifically between May and October. One of the top airline companies traveling from the UK to Mykonos is easyJet, which has seasonal flights from London Luton and London Gatwick, as well as from Manchester. Throughout the year, Thomson Airways offers flights to London Gatwick and British Airways to London Heathrow.

Why travel by plane to Mykonos?

Being an island, traveling to Mykonos by plane is the fastest and easiest form of transport. Any other route options from the UK would require at least one flight to Athens or another Aegean island and then a ferry (which takes either three hours 30 minutes or five hours 15 minutes if a high-speed service is selected).
