Mykonos Water Taxi

The Mykonos Water Taxi connects the south-coast beaches of Ornos, Platis Gialos, Paraga, Paradise, Super Paradise, Agrari, and Elia. The €20 all-day pass lets you hop on and off along the route. Boats run from late spring through early autumn.

This is not the Mykonos SeaBus, which runs between the New Port and Mykonos Town. The water taxi is for getting between the south-coast beaches.

Platis Gialos is the best place to start. It is the main water taxi station, boarding is easy, and there are frequent buses from Mykonos Town. Ornos is also a good starting point if you are staying there.

Boarding is easiest at Platis Gialos. At some other beaches the boat uses a floating dock or pulls close to shore, and you may need to wade through shallow water. Wear shoes or sandals that are easy to remove and do not bring heavy luggage.

A good half-day trip is to walk from Platis Gialos through Agia Anna to Paraga, then take the water taxi east to Super Paradise, Agrari, or Elia. I no longer recommend walking the old cliff path between Paraga and Paradise. The route is rough in places and now runs into private property at the Paraga end.

The boats are also available for private transfers, sunset cruises, fishing trips, and private beach trips.

How To Use the Mykonos Water Taxi

Take the bus or taxi to Platis Gialos, buy the €20 pass at the pier or kiosk, and ride east along the coast. Get off wherever you want, then take a later boat to the next beach. Keep your ticket with you.

Do not leave the return too late from Elia or Agrari. If you miss the last boat, you will need to arrange a taxi or private transfer.

For an easy beach-hopping day, start at Platis Gialos, walk to Agia Anna and Paraga, then use the water taxi for Super Paradise, Agrari, or Elia. Use the boat rather than the old cliff path between Paraga and Paradise.

Best Beaches To Visit by Water Taxi

Platis Gialos is the best starting point. It has frequent buses from Mykonos Town and is the main station for the water taxi.

Paraga is an easy walk from Platis Gialos via Agia Anna. It has good swimming and several popular beach clubs.

Paradise is one of Mykonos’ main party beaches. Take the water taxi rather than relying on the old cliff path from Paraga.

Super Paradise is particularly useful to reach by water taxi if you do not have a car.

Agrari is much quieter than Paradise and Super Paradise and a good stop for swimming.

Elia is the easternmost regular stop and a good choice for a longer beach stay. Check the last return time when you arrive.

Water Taxi Tips

• Confirm the last return boat. Especially from Elia, Agrari, and Super Paradise.
• Expect wet feet. Boarding is easy at Platis Gialos, but at some stops you may board from a floating dock or shallow water.
• Travel light. Do not use the water taxi with suitcases or bulky bags.
• Watch the wind. Strong winds can make the ride rough or disrupt service.
• Do not use it for tight plans. It is excellent for beach hopping, not for getting to a ferry, airport, or dinner reservation on a tight schedule.

Where To Stay If You Want To Use the Water Taxi

The best areas are Platis Gialos and Ornos. I prefer Platis Gialos for beach hopping: it is the main water taxi station, has frequent buses to Mykonos Town, and you can walk along the coast to Agia Anna and Paraga. Ornos has a more protected beach and is excellent for families.

Most boats have an interior with a bit of shade.

Water taxi schedules can change during the season. Check the current timetable before setting out.

Platis Gialos is the main station for the Mykonos Water Taxi and the easiest place to start a beach-hopping day.

Some beaches use a floating dock, like this one at Paradise Beach.

But not always. Here passengers are boarding from the beach at Paradise Beach.

The coastal path from Platis Gialos through Agia Anna to Paraga is an easy and enjoyable walk. I no longer recommend continuing on the old cliff path to Paradise.
