Our services in Ornos
More details
Villas, hotels and beach restaurants
Ornos is a sheltered bay on the south-west side of the island, a few kilometres from Chora and close to the airport. The beach is lined with restaurants and hotels, and the slopes above it, towards Agios Ioannis and Korfos, are covered with holiday villas. Many of these properties are not connected to a sewer and use septic tanks, holding tanks or a wastewater treatment unit.
A villa that sleeps ten for a week fills a tank much faster than its owner expects, and the problem usually shows up mid-booking. We empty tanks between guests, set up a regular schedule for rental properties, and handle the larger volumes that hotels and restaurants produce in July and August. We also service villas with wastewater treatment units (biological treatment) that need their sludge removed.

Steep driveways and the beach road in summer
Many Ornos villas sit on steep, narrow driveways that end in a tight turning space, or none at all. Before a first visit we ask for the location pin and, if possible, a photo of the drive, so we know whether the truck can come down or should stay on the road and run hose. Please also make sure the tank lid is uncovered and not under furniture or planting.
In high season the road down to Ornos beach is busy all day with cars, quad bikes, taxis and buses. We like to arrive early, ideally before the beach fills, and we try to fit villa visits into changeover mornings so guests are not disturbed.
Why property managers in Ornos use us
Property managers want one number that answers and a truck that turns up when promised. We have been doing this on Mykonos since 1995, with a fleet of 6 vacuum tankers, so we can usually fit an extra emptying into a busy week. For emergencies we normally reach Ornos within 1 to 2 hours.
Every load ends up at a licensed facility: we deliver all waste to the licensed municipal wastewater treatment plant of Mykonos (DEYA Mykonou). Call or WhatsApp +30 693 673 2110, and tell us the property, the tank size if you know it, and your next changeover date.
