More details
A busy beach with big tanks
Platis Gialos is one of the longest-established family beaches on Mykonos. Hotels, apartments and restaurants stand close together along the sand, and the hillsides behind are dotted with villas and rental studios. Sea taxis leave from the beach for the other south-coast beaches, so the bay is busy from morning to evening all summer.
That concentration of beds and kitchens means large holding tanks and a lot of grease going down the drains. For a hotel, emptying is rarely a single truckload. We plan multi-load jobs, keep to a fixed schedule through the summer, and unblock kitchen and guest-room drains when they cannot wait.
- Multi-load emptying for hotels and apartment complexes
- Pre-season emptying and drain checks before opening
- End-of-season emptying before properties close for winter
- Drain unblocking for restaurant kitchens and guest rooms
Timing the work around the beach
The road into Platis Gialos ends at the beach, and space to park and turn a tanker there is limited once cars, taxis and buses arrive. We schedule beachfront jobs for the early morning, before sunbeds fill and deliveries start, and we coordinate with the hotel or restaurant on where the truck can stand without blocking anyone.
The quieter months are the best time for the big work. Emptying tanks and clearing lines in April or May, before guests arrive, avoids the panic call in August, and a final emptying in October means nothing sits in the tank all winter.
Working with hotel and property managers
We have served the island's hotels and rental properties since 1995, so we understand that a guest-facing problem has to be fixed fast and quietly. With 6 vacuum tankers we can usually send a second truck if a job needs more than one load. For emergencies we normally reach Platis Gialos within 1 to 2 hours.
All waste is taken to the licensed municipal wastewater treatment plant of Mykonos (DEYA Mykonou), and we can provide a record of each collection for your own files. Call or WhatsApp +30 693 673 2110 to set up a schedule or book a single visit.

Should a hotel in Platis Gialos empty its tanks before the season opens?
It is a good idea. Emptying tanks and checking drain lines in spring, before guests arrive, makes a mid-season breakdown much less likely, and we can book the work for a quiet day in April or May.

A hotel job often needs several loads, and the price depends on total volume, access, hose length and urgency, so we quote per property.
