The airport is about 10 minutes from Adamas, the main port. There are few taxis on the island, so book a taxi or transfer in advance or pick up a hire car at the airport.

How do I get from Milos airport to Adamas?
The drive takes about 10 minutes. Most visitors pick up a hire car at the airport, take a pre-booked taxi or use a hotel transfer. There are very few taxis on the island and public buses do not generally meet flights, so arrange your ride before landing.
How much is a taxi from Milos airport?
Expect about €15–25 to Adamas or Plaka, a little more to more distant villages. Taxis are limited, especially in July and August, so phone ahead or ask your accommodation to book one for you.
Is there a bus from the airport?
Not reliably. Milos has a summer bus network linking Adamas with villages and beaches, but it is not timed to flights. Plan on a hire car, taxi or transfer from the airport, then use buses for day trips if they suit you.
Should I fly or take the ferry to Milos?
Flights from Athens take under an hour but are few and small. Ferries from Piraeus take roughly 3 to 7 hours depending on the vessel and arrive in Adamas, close to many hotels. Ferries are often more flexible for luggage and timing.
