Fabrika bus terminal
Getting around Mykonos is easy. Many people rent a car, a scooter, or an ATV, but it's also quite easy to take the bus between the center of the island and the beaches. Between May and September, buses connect Mykonos Town to many (but not all) of the beaches.
Mykonos Bus Stations
For the most popular beaches, the buses depart from a terminal called South Station (more commonly known as “Fabrika”), but there's another terminal by the Old Port, often referred to as “North Station” (see the Mykonos beaches map to locate these bus terminals). There’s no bus connecting these terminals, you have to walk 15 to 20 minutes through the streets of Chora.
How Much is the Bus in Mykonos?
The bus fare in Mykonos is between €1 and €3, depending on the distance traveled, and you can buy tickets directly from the driver or at the booths at the terminals.

Mykonos Bus Schedules / Timetables
Some buses from the most popular beaches run until late at night in July and August (as is the case of Paradise), but in most cases there are just around half a dozen buses throughout the day. Departure times are clearly marked at the terminals, and vary every year and even throughout the season, so always double-check before departing, especially the return times.
