Question 33

Is there parking available in Mykonos Town?

Accepted Answer

Parking in Mykonos Town can be challenging during peak season. The main car park is near the Old Port and fills by 9:30am in summer. We recommend walking the last 5–10 minutes from the car park into the centre — it is faster than trying to drive into the alleys.

Question 34

What vehicles are best for driving around Mykonos Town?

For Mykonos Town, a compact or economy car is ideal — smaller is better for the narrow streets and tight parking. If you are exploring the whole island too, a standard or SUV gives you more versatility. Scooters are also extremely popular for getting in and out of town quickly.

Question 35

What is the cancellation policy for rental in Mykonos Town?

Accepted Answer

Free cancellation up to 48 hours before your pickup time. Late cancellations may be subject to a charge depending on the booking type.
