Transfers in Mykonos
The central bus station is in Fabrika and there are routes all over the island.
Only 25 taxis are in operation and taxi transportation can become an exercise of great patience. For this reason, it is suggested that you pre-arrange a taxi for your arrival. This means that you will be met at the port/airport by a person holding a sign with your name on it, who will then take you to your accommodation. Since there are no street names or building numbers for addresses in Mykonos this is also extremely helpful because you will be shown directly to your accommodation.
