• Flights

No flights connect Mykonos to Santorini directly. In order to fly from one island to the other, a stop at Athens International Airport is unavoidable.
Although that way of traveling between Cycladic islands is uncommon, you can choose from several scheduled flights by Aegean Air, Sky Express, and Olympic Air, among other airline companies.
The ticket prices are not fixed and increase when demand is higher. For that reason, off-season months are usually the cheapest ones.

Pros of getting from Mykonos to Santorini by flight: Airplanes are the only option if you want to avoid traveling by ship and are looking for something less expensive than private helicopter transfers.

This out-of-the-ordinary way to travel may be more expensive than regular ferries or flights, but it is totally worth it.

Pros of getting from Mykonos to Santorini by helicopter: Helicopter transfers are fast, safe and effective, with all kinds of comforts that come with traveling by private means. The views are something else and turn an otherwise simple trip from one island to the other into an unparalleled experience.
