The small port of Myrina and the relatively spacious airport serve the increasing transportation needs of the island.
Flights and ferries' routes often change within a year, reaching a peak during summer. Regularly there are one or two flights a day, from and to Athens, and extra charters in summertime tourist season. Ferries change their routes monthly, there is a minimum of 4-5 ships a week, usually departing from the ports of Lavrio (Athens), Piraeus, Thessaloniki and Kavala (North Greece). It is about a 40 minutes' flight from Athens airport, and the ferries need about 14 hours from the port of Piraeus to cover the distance.
There is limited anchorage available for private yachts, but services and supplies are very good. Arrivals should report to one of the port authority posts located at Myrina or Moudros. The port authorities are also good sources of information for weather forecasts (especially gale warnings), as well as about any military exercises in the wider region
