Alpha Bank

Alpha Bank on Mykonos sits along the Δημοτική Οδός Χώρας-Αεροδρομίου — the main municipal road connecting Mykonos Town (Chora) to the island's airport — making it one of the more accessible banking stops for travelers arriving by air or heading out of town. The branch includes an ATM for cash withdrawals and provides standard in-branch banking services during weekday hours.

For visitors coming from abroad, this is a reliable point to withdraw euros before heading into Chora or further afield around the island. Alpha Bank is one of Greece's four major commercial banks, and its ATMs accept Visa, Mastercard, Maestro, and most international card networks.

What to Expect

This is a standard Alpha Bank branch with an ATM accessible on-site. The ATM operates around the clock for cash withdrawals, while the branch interior — for services such as currency exchange, account queries, or wire transfers — is open only on weekdays from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM. The branch is closed on Saturdays and Sundays.

The location on the Chora–Airport road means it sees a steady flow of traffic: tourists en route to or from Mykonos Airport (MJK), locals running errands, and scooters navigating the typically busy artery. Parking near the branch is possible along this road, though it can fill up quickly during peak summer months. The ATM itself is sheltered and straightforward to use, with an interface available in multiple languages including English.

Withdrawal limits and fees depend on your home bank's international policy. Alpha Bank itself does not charge a proprietary ATM fee for foreign card users, but your own bank may apply a foreign transaction or ATM fee — check before you travel. For larger cash needs, completing the withdrawal in one transaction saves repeat fees.

How to Get There

The branch is on the main road between Mykonos Town and the airport, identifiable by the standard Alpha Bank signage. If you're coming from Chora, head east along the airport road; the branch is on this route before reaching the terminal. By car or scooter, it's a straightforward stop on what is one of the island's main arteries. The KTEL bus line that runs between Mykonos Town and the airport passes along this road, so it's reachable on foot from a nearby stop if you're not driving. Taxis traveling to or from the airport also use this road routinely.

There is no dedicated parking lot, but roadside space is generally available outside peak hours. Accessibility to the ATM vestibule is at street level.

Best Time to Visit

For ATM use only, the machine is available at any hour, so early morning or late evening visits avoid the midday rush common on the airport road in summer. If you need in-branch services, arrive as close to the 8:00 AM opening as possible — the queue can build by mid-morning, particularly in July and August when Mykonos sees its highest visitor volumes. Avoid the final 15–20 minutes before the 2:00 PM closing time, as staff begin wrapping up transactions.

Mykonos summers are hot and dry; the ATM is sheltered, which matters if you're withdrawing cash during the peak afternoon heat. Winter hours are the same, but footfall drops considerably between November and March.

Tips for Visiting

• ATM availability is 24/7, but in-branch services are strictly Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–2:00 PM. Do not count on any service after 2:00 PM or on weekends.
• Bring your PIN. Greek ATMs do not support signature-based transactions — a four-digit PIN is required for all cards.
• Check your daily withdrawal limit with your home bank before arriving. ATM limits in Greece typically cap at €600 per transaction, though your card's daily limit may be lower.
• Currency: Always choose to be charged in euros (not your home currency) when the ATM asks. Choosing your home currency triggers Dynamic Currency Conversion, which applies a poor exchange rate set by the ATM operator.
• Have a backup ATM in mind. Mykonos Town (Chora) has several ATMs concentrated near the port and the main square, including other major Greek banks. If this machine is out of service or out of cash during a busy weekend, Chora is the nearest cluster of alternatives.
• Phone the branch for specific banking queries. The listed number is +30 2289 025903. Staff can confirm whether a particular service is available before you make the trip.
• Weekend cash planning: because the branch is closed Saturday and Sunday and Mykonos nightlife and tourism spending peaks on weekends, withdraw enough cash on a weekday to cover your weekend needs if you rely heavily on cash.
• The airport road is busy. If you're on foot, use the pedestrian edge of the road carefully — traffic moves quickly along this stretch, especially during morning and evening airport runs.
