How to get to Mykonos from London, with a flight to Athens and then a ferry from Athens to Mykonos

You can find very cheap airtickets from London to Athens almost every month of the year. And there is always a ferry connecting the two ports of Athens (Piraeus port and Rafina port), with Mykonos. The ferry time from Athens to Mykonos is around 5 hours with the slow ferry (available all year round) or even 2 hours with the fast ferry (available only during the peak months). Costs of the ferry tickets vary from 30 euros to 60 euros per person for one way. So, it doesn’t make sense to get this option, instead of flying directly (or with a one-stop) from London to Mykonos, unless you want to spend a couple of days to see Athens.

Ryanair and Volotea don’t fly directly from London to Mykonos, not even during the peak season. They offer a one-stop flight from London to Mykonos. It doesn’t really make sense to get these options, as you can find a direct flight from London to Mykonos with Easyjet or British airways.
