Transport — not hotels or restaurants — is what quietly wrecks a Mykonos trip. The island caps its taxis, the roads are tight, and rented ATVs aren't for everyone. How to handle airport and port transfers, when to pre-book a driver, and where it's faster to just walk.

Our take

Pre-book your airport and port transfers and any late-night pickups — Mykonos caps taxis island-wide, so at 9pm in August you can wait 45 minutes for a car that never comes. An ATV fixes daytime trips only if you're steady on steep, narrow lanes.
