More details
Beach venues and villas on an open bay
Panormos is a wide sandy bay on the north coast, wide open to the north wind. Over the years its beach has filled with large venues that combine a restaurant, a bar and sunbeds, while the land around the bay holds a growing number of private villas. The north coast has no central sewer, so everything from a two-bedroom villa to a venue serving hundreds of guests a day depends on tanks that have to be emptied.
Beach venues are our heaviest customers here. A busy kitchen and public toilets can fill a holding tank in days at the peak of the season, and a blocked kitchen drain at lunchtime is a genuine emergency. For venues we agree a collection schedule before opening and adjust it as bookings rise. For villas, we empty on changeover days or whenever the owner calls.
- Scheduled collections for beach restaurants and bars
- Emergency drain unblocking for busy kitchens and public toilets
- Changeover-day emptying for villas
- Extra loads for private parties and events
Early starts and the north wind
Once the venues open, the access road and the parking around the beach fill up, and a vacuum tanker is the last thing anyone wants in the middle of it. We work early in the morning, before staff and guests arrive, or in a quiet window you agree with us. Tell us your opening time and when your deliveries come, and we will fit around them.
Panormos takes the full force of the meltemi, which can blow hard for days in July and August. The wind does not stop the truck, but strong gusts carry odours across a beach very quickly. That is one more reason to empty tanks before they are full rather than after.
Why venues and villa owners call us
When a venue has a problem, it needs a truck the same day, not next week. We are a family business that has worked on Mykonos since 1995, and our tankers range from 10 to 30 m³, so large venue tanks need fewer trips and less time with a truck parked at your entrance.
All waste goes to the licensed municipal wastewater treatment plant of Mykonos (DEYA Mykonou). Call or WhatsApp +30 693 673 2110 to set up a season schedule or to book a one-off emptying.
