Santorini to Mykonos Transportation
- Traveling by ferry is the primary way to get from Santorini to Mykonos.
- Schedule: Ferries run daily from late March through October. During the peak season (June to September), there are typically 4 to 7 ferries per day departing from Santorini’s Athinios Port.
- Duration & Vessels: The journey takes approximately 2 to 3 hours. Like the Mykonos to Santorini route, this leg is dominated by high-speed catamarans from SeaJets and Golden Star Ferries.
- Booking: This route is incredibly busy in the summer. If you are traveling in July or August, it is essential to book your tickets at least 2 months in advance. I recommend FerryHopper.com for checking schedules and booking.
- Santorini to Mykonos Flights: Most years there are 4 or 5 flights per week from Santorini to Mykonos (April to mid-October). But some years there is only one weekly flight. Some years there are no flights. Flight schedules come out in December or January and sell out quickly.
- Santorini to Mykonos Helicopter Transfer – Expensive, but it is the easiest and fastest way between Santorini and Mykonos.

Mykonos to Santorini Ferry Schedules
• How to buy ferry tickets: Ferryhopper.com
• Best seats: I recommend Business or VIP if available (nicer seats in a more relaxed setting)
• When to book tickets: 2 to 3 months in advance (any sooner and some ferry routes might not be released yet, any later and some ferries could be sold out)
• Santorini-Mykonos ferry routes are seasonal and operate from mid-March to late October, making stops in Naxos, Paros, and Ios along the way. Most ferry routes run in both directions so there is no difference between the Santorini to Mykonos ferries and the Mykonos to Santorini ferries. The only thing that changes is the departure time.
• Since most ferries between Santorini and Mykonos are small to medium-sized ferries they will sell out (especially in July, August, and September).
• All ferry schedules can change with little notice, so double-check routes and times.Example Santorini to Mykonos Ferry Schedule
