💡 Quick Tips

1.The Athens-Mykonos ferry (Blue Star Ferries, Hellenic Seaways, SeaJets) is the most dog-friendly way to travel: dogs travel on the open deck or in a designated pet area. The high-speed catamaran (2-3h from Piraeus) is faster but louder and more motion-intensive; the conventional ferry (4-5h) is calmer for dogs.
2.Within Mykonos, hire a car or ATV. Public bus (KTEL) does not accept dogs. Private taxis are small and may not accommodate large dogs; confirm in advance. A hire car is strongly recommended for dog travel on Mykonos.
3.Mykonos airport is only 4 km from Mykonos Town; a private transfer with a 7-seat vehicle can be arranged in advance to accommodate dogs and luggage comfortably.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I take my dog on the ferry to Mykonos?

Yes. Blue Star Ferries, Hellenic Seaways, and SeaJets all accept dogs. Dogs travel on the outdoor deck or in designated pet zones; they are not permitted in the passenger cabin (except small dogs in approved carriers on some routes). Bring water and a non-spill bowl. The open deck crossing can be cold and windy; bring a dog coat for the early season (April-May) and late season (October).

Is there a car hire on Mykonos that accepts dogs in the vehicle?

Most car hire companies on Mykonos do not inspect vehicles for dogs; a standard hire car is fine for transporting a dog. Bring a car seat cover or blanket to protect the upholstery. ATV and scooter hire is not appropriate for dogs.
