Cost of a Mykonos taxi

As Mykonos is a fairly small island, the rates of their taxis are heavily monitored and regulated. Taxis in Mykonos use a taximeter to calculate your fee based on the distance travelled. There are two different rates, Tariff 1, which is from 05:00 to 24:00 and Tariff 2, which is from 24:00 to 05:00. 

Base fare – €1.14

How to get a Mykonos taxi

There are 34 taxis in Mykonos, so waiting times during peak seasons or time of day can be quite long. However, there are three different ways to get a taxi in Mykonos, by walking to a taxi rank, calling the taxi centre or hailing one down on the street. 

One of the quickest ways to get a taxi is stopping an empty one on the street. All you need to do is stop and reach out your arm at the driver. Once inside the taxi, make sure the taximeter is reset and the correct tariff is showing. 

If you’d prefer to walk to a taxi rank for your Mykonos taxi, you can find them at the central point of each village, at the Port, in the central square of Mykonos town next to the statue of Manto Mavrogenous or outside Fabrica bus station. 

Finally, if you’d prefer to wait indoors for your taxi, you can call the Taxi Centre on +30 22890 23700 or +30 22890 22400 and a representative will send out your cab. Bear in mind that this service will have an extra charge. 

Book your Mykonos taxi in advance

Although there are more taxis in Mykonos than previous years, you could still find yourself waiting a long time for a cab during peak times or be stranded in Mykonos town late at night. To ensure you always have a Mykonos taxi when you need one, why not pre-book your cab. Peace of mind, set-rates, no hidden extras and English-speaking drivers are just a few of the perks of booking your Mykonos taxi in advance with Welcome Pickups.
