Getting from Agathonisi to Mykonos

If you are heading to Mykonos from Agathonisi you are making your way from the northern Dodecanese group to the most cosmopolitan island in the Cyclades, on the opposite side of the Aegean. It has a maze of whitewashed lanes above the port, long beaches on the south coast and some of the best beach clubs in Greece.

Take the ferry

There is no direct ferry from Agathonisi to Mykonos. Getting there means taking the local ferry from Agathonisi to Leros or Samos, flying to Athens and then taking the ferry from Piraeus or Rafina to Mykonos. The fast catamaran from Rafina takes around 2 to 2.5 hours and is the most convenient option if you are connecting from Athens Airport as Rafina is only 20 minutes from the terminal.

Getting there by air

Mykonos has an international airport with connections from Athens. Taking the local ferry from Agathonisi to Leros or Samos, flying to Athens and then Athens to Mykonos, gives a total journey time of around 5 to 6 hours. In Greece, airlines do not operate direct inter island flights.

Your best option

Take the local ferry from Agathonisi to Leros or Samos, fly to Athens and then either fly to Mykonos or take the fast ferry from Rafina. If you are arriving at Athens Airport, Rafina is the more practical port and avoids crossing the city to Piraeus entirely. Book ahead in July and August as Mykonos ferry and flight spaces fill up fast.
