More details
What we do in Chora
Chora packs a lot into a small space: old whitewashed houses, rooms to let, small hotels, shops, bars and restaurants, all sharing the same lanes. Much of the town is on the municipal sewer network, but many properties on the edges of town and on the hills above it still rely on septic tanks or holding tanks. Even connected buildings get blocked drains, especially busy kitchens in high season.
We empty cesspits and septic tanks, move sewage with our vacuum tankers, clear blocked and grease-clogged drain lines, and set up regular emptying for businesses that cannot afford a backup in the middle of August.
- Septic tank and cesspit emptying for houses and apartments
- Drain unblocking for shops, bars and restaurant kitchens
- Scheduled emptying for guesthouses and small hotels
- Emergency call-outs (24/7) when a tank overflows or a drain backs up
Working around the old town's lanes and traffic
The heart of Chora, around Matoyianni street, Little Venice and the lanes behind the Old Port, is pedestrian and far too narrow for a tanker. In those cases we park at the closest point a truck can safely reach and run hose from there, or we approach from the ring road side of town. If your property is deep inside the old town, call us first so we can look at access before the day.
From July to the end of August the roads into town, around the Old Port and near the Fabrika bus station are congested from late morning until well after midnight. Whenever we can, we book Chora jobs early in the morning, before deliveries, taxis and visitors fill the streets. The work is quicker, and the truck is gone before your shop or restaurant opens.
Why Chora businesses and owners call us
We have worked on the island since 1995, so we know which streets a tanker can turn in and which it cannot. Marathi is close to town, so for urgent calls we usually reach Chora within 1 to 2 hours. Everything we collect is delivered to a licensed facility, never dumped: we take all waste to the licensed municipal wastewater treatment plant of Mykonos (DEYA Mykonou).
To book, call or WhatsApp +30 693 673 2110. Send a pin of the location and a photo of the tank lid or the blocked drain, and we will tell you what we need to send and when.
Frequently asked questions
Who empties septic tanks in Mykonos Town?
Metafores Lymaton Santorinaios, a family sewage transfer company working in Mykonos since 1995, empties septic tanks and cesspits across Mykonos Town (Chora) from its base in Marathi. Call or WhatsApp +30 693 673 2110 to book.
Can a sewage truck get into the old town of Chora?
Not into the pedestrian lanes around Matoyianni street and Little Venice, which are too narrow for any tanker. We park at the nearest point a truck can reach and run hose to the tank, so call first if your property is deep inside the old town and we will check access.
How fast can a sewage truck reach Mykonos Town for an emergency?
Because our base in Marathi is a short drive from Chora, we usually reach Mykonos Town within 1 to 2 hours for urgent calls. In July and August traffic can slow things down, which is why we try to schedule routine work in the early morning.
How much does it cost to empty a cesspit in Mykonos Town?
The price depends on the volume of the tank, how close the truck can park, how much hose is needed and whether the job is urgent, so send us a photo and location for a clear quote.
Do you unblock restaurant and bar drains in Chora?
Yes. We clear blocked and grease-clogged drains for restaurants, bars and shops in Mykonos Town, and we can set up regular emptying of holding tanks before the high season starts so problems do not hit in August.
