Getting around

Taxis on Milos: useful, scarce at the wrong moment

Milos has taxis. It does not have a city-scale fleet. The municipal visitor pages place them at the port and the airport and describe the number as small. That is enough for a short hop when a car is waiting. It is not a plan you should bet an arrival on in July, when a turboprop and a ferry can empty the rank in minutes.

When a taxi is the right tool

You can see a car. You have little luggage. The hop is short — Adamas town from the quay, a nearby hotel. You are not trying to reach Firiplaka at 18:00 with four suitcases after the last bus. In those conditions a taxi is simple and local.

When it is not

Flight landings, ferry ramps, late dinners in Plaka, villas with pins that are not on the waterfront, child seats you have not booked, and anything you need to be time-certain about. A private airport transfer or port transfer exists because the rank is not a reservation system.

Phone numbers

Use the numbers on the Municipality getting-around page if you are calling a taxi directly. They are not reproduced here so this page cannot go stale. Elysium’s own phones are for Elysium journeys, listed on contact.

Common questions

Are Elysium cars taxis?
They are private-hire / passenger-transport vehicles booked in advance, not the public taxi rank.
