MYKONOS: The chaos, kilometres long queues and the 5,800 transfers

Traffic is now a huge problem on Mykonos as it can not take over two hours to drive from one part of the island to the other.

This is especially in the evening hours, when everyone wants to go down to the capital of the island, since as soon as you get close to two to three kilometres, the queues start according to News Auto.

And we are talking about queues that sometimes reach four to five kilometres.

The situation has been worsened by the thousands of vehicles available - up to 5,800 mini buses or vans circulate on a road network that is not good since the narrow roads make the situation even more difficult.

Somehow one of the thousands of unlucky drivers took two and a half hours to get from Kalo Livadi to Chora last Saturday night.
