Getting to Mykonos: A Practical Guide to the Private Airport and Port Transfer
Traveling to a new destination can be exciting but often comes with a few logistical worries—especially when it comes to getting from the airport or cruise port to your accommodation. That’s where a private transfer service like the one offered by Black Star Mykonos can really make a difference. Based on what travelers have shared, this experience seems to deliver a smooth, personalized start to your time on the island. While I haven’t experienced it myself, the glowing reviews and solid details paint a pretty convincing picture.
One aspect we really like is the personalized attention. Your driver will meet you outside the arrivals hall or port holding a sign with your name—no hunting around for rides or squeezing into crowded shuttles. Plus, the price point is quite reasonable, around $29 per person, especially given that it’s a private service that can accommodate up to 13 people. On the flip side, it’s only a one-way transfer, so if you’re looking for a round-trip or a longer journey, you’ll need to book separately. This service suits travelers who value comfort, reliability, and efficiency—perfect whether you’re arriving after a long flight or a cruise.

Why Consider This Transfer Service?

When you land in Mykonos, the last thing you want is to spend precious time figuring out how to get to your hotel or villa. This private transfer service is designed to be simple and straightforward—the driver will be waiting at the designated meeting point with your name on a sign. That means no wandering around looking for your ride, no waiting in line for a taxi, and no sharing a shuttle with strangers, which can be less comfortable and less predictable.
The reviews are a solid endorsement of this approach. Travelers frequently mention the timeliness and professionalism of their drivers. As Kimberly noted, her driver was waiting when the ferry docked, helping her avoid a crowded parking lot, and got her to her hotel quickly. This kind of punctuality and efficiency can set a relaxed tone for your entire trip.

What’s Included and How It Works

The process is pretty simple. You’ll likely start your journey at either Mykonos Airport or the Port. Once you’ve collected your luggage, your driver will be outside the customs area or arrivals hall, holding a sign with your name. From there, you’ll hop into a clean, comfortable vehicle—based on reviews, the vehicles are well-maintained and in good condition.
Since the transfer is private, only your group will participate, which means you get a tailored experience. The driver is there solely for your needs, and communication seems to be a highlight—many travelers appreciated the courteous, professional attitude, and some noted the driver’s good communication, even helping retrieve a forgotten wallet on the way back. The ride itself is typically quick, taking anywhere from 1 to 30 minutes depending on your location, which is handy if you’re eager to start relaxing.
The Experience on the Road
While we don’t have specifics on the exact route or sights along the way, the reviews mention “breathing taking views” and sharing knowledge. Though this might be more relevant for tours or guided activities, it hints that your driver could be a good source of local tips or interesting facts. This added layer makes the transfer not just a ride but a mini introduction to the island, however brief.
Travelers have also highlighted the flexibility of this service—if you’re arriving late or early, it’s still a reliable option. The fact that the transfer is available at a flat rate makes it easier to plan financially, compared to varying taxi fares or shared shuttles.
Pricing and Value

At roughly $29 per person, this service offers value for money—especially considering it’s private and includes personalized service. For groups or families, it’s often more economical than multiple taxis or shared transfers, plus the convenience of not having to coordinate pickups. Given the positive reviews about punctuality and professionalism, many travelers feel it’s money well spent to start their Mykonos trip on the right foot.
Keep in mind, this is a one-way transfer only, so if you want to return or need transportation around the island, you’ll need to book additional services. Still, for a hassle-free arrival, this service ticks many boxes.
Who Is This Transfer Best For?

This service is ideal if you’re arriving in Mykonos and want to avoid stress and save time. It’s especially good for groups or families who value private, direct transportation. If you have a lot of luggage or prefer not to navigate unfamiliar taxi queues, this is a smart choice.
It also suits travelers who appreciate professionalism and clear communication, as many reviews highlighted the courteous, knowledgeable drivers. Whether you’re arriving after a long flight, docking on a cruise, or simply want a reliable way to get to your accommodation, this transfer service can help make your first moments on the island smooth and comfortable.
