Mykonos is the Greek island New Yorkers know best: beach clubs, whitewashed town, villas and yachts. The airport (JMK) has a short runway, so larger business jets need a performance check by the carrier, and some aircraft land in Athens (ATH) instead and continue by a smaller aircraft, helicopter or ferry. Many trips combine Mykonos with Santorini, Paros or a yacht charter in the Cyclades. The season runs from late spring to early fall.
| Airport | IATA / ICAO | Role | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Teterboro | TEB / KTEB | departure · 8,070 km to JMK | Business-aviation airport in New Jersey with no scheduled airline traffic, about 12 miles from Midtown Manhattan; the default choice for private flights to New York. |
| Westchester County, White Plains | HPN / KHPN | departure · 8,032 km to JMK | Alternative. |
| John F. Kennedy International | JFK / KJFK | departure · 8,064 km to JMK | Alternative. |
| Mykonos | JMK / LGMK | arrival | Small island airport with a short runway; large-cabin jets need a performance check, and summer slots and parking are limited. |
| Athens International | ATH / LGAV | arrival · 7,939 km from TEB | Athens's main airport east of the city; mixed traffic with a business-aviation terminal, and the usual alternative when island airports are restricted. |

| When | What happens | Our advice |
|---|---|---|
| June to September | Peak season, with July and August the busiest. | Book early; tell us aircraft size and luggage so we can check the Mykonos runway. |
| May and October | Shoulder months, calmer and cooler. | Easier to land in Mykonos directly. |
