Scooter Rentals on Mykonos island from €5/day

Picture leaving Chora behind on two wheels, the whitewashed lanes opening onto a coastal road that curls past hillsides toward Paradise Beach. That's the pull of a scooter here: no waiting on buses, no fighting for a parking spot, just you deciding whether today is a swim at Elia or sunset drinks at Little Venice. A quick loop from town gets you to the windmills for photos before the crowds arrive, and from there the island unfolds mile by mile at your own pace.

Mykonos looks small on a map, but its charm is scattered across narrow, twisting roads that rental cars and tour buses clog badly every summer, and Chora itself has almost nowhere to park a car. A scooter slips through the old town's tight alleys, then opens up on the open stretches toward Kalafatis or Ano Mera, giving you the range to chase quieter beaches the bus schedule simply doesn't reach.

Top 10 things to see in Mykonos Town by scooter

1. Paradise Beach — the island's famous party beach, a short scenic ride south of Chora.
2. Super Paradise Beach — neighboring beach club scene along a windy coastal road.
3. Elia Beach — the longest stretch of sand on Mykonos, calmer than Paradise and a pleasant ride through the hills.
4. Kalafatis Beach — a windsurfing favorite on the east coast, worth the longer crossing.
5. Panagia Paraportiani — the whitewashed church that anchors Chora, an easy stop on foot from wherever you park.
6. Little Venice (Alefkandra) — waterfront houses and sunset bars right at the edge of town.
7. Kato Mili windmills — the classic row overlooking Little Venice, the island's most photographed corner.
8. Armenistis Lighthouse — a northern viewpoint with wide sea views, a rewarding scooter loop.
9. Ano Mera village — an inland detour to the Panagia Tourliani Monastery, away from the coast.
10. Fokos Beach — remote and undeveloped, reached along a rougher dirt track for those chasing quiet.

What do you need to rent a scooter in Mykonos Town?

For a 50cc scooter you'll need at least a category AM licence, and the minimum age is generally 16, though most rental shops set their own higher bar. Anything from 125cc up calls for a matching motorcycle licence (A1, A2 or A) — a car licence won't cover you here. Non-EU visitors should carry an International Driving Permit alongside their home licence. Expect a deposit, usually held on a credit card, with the amount set by the individual operator.

How much does it cost to rent a scooter in Mykonos Town?

A basic 50cc scooter runs from EUR 5 to EUR 15 a day in low season, climbing to EUR 20-35 in high season. Larger or automatic scooters, and quads, land in the EUR 35-60 range at peak times, with premium models reaching EUR 40-70 a day during the busiest weeks.

• April, May and October are the cheapest months to rent.
• July and August, plus the last week of August, bring the highest prices and the tightest availability.

When to book a rental scooter in Mykonos Town?

If you're coming in July or August, book well ahead — scooters and quads sell out fast and prices sit at their peak. Shoulder months like May, June, September and October offer both lower prices and easier roads, while most shops shut down entirely over the winter, from November through March.

Local traffic rules in Mykonos Town

Greece drives on the right. Helmets are mandatory for both rider and passenger, and police enforcement is strict, with hefty fines for skipping one. Speed limits top out at 50 km/h in town, 90 km/h on open roads and higher on motorways, though island roads rarely call for anything near that. The blood-alcohol limit is 0.5 g/l generally, but only 0.2 g/l for motorcyclists and newly licensed riders, so it's best to skip alcohol entirely before riding. Keep in mind that insurance typically excludes dirt roads and beaches, so tracks like the one to Fokos are ridden at your own risk.
