From our guides
How often to empty a septic tank in a Mykonos villa →
How often should a septic tank be emptied in a Mykonos rental villa?
It depends on tank size, number of guests and whether the pit is sealed or absorbing. Most rental villas in Mykonos need at least one emptying before the season and one or more in July and August; large, fully booked villas may need it every week or two. An inspection is the best way to set the right interval.
When is the best time to empty a cesspit in Mykonos?
Before the season starts, in April, May or early June, so the tank is empty when the first guests arrive. During July and August, book emptying on changeover days to avoid disturbing guests.

This is general guidance, not legal advice; confirm your specific obligations with the competent authorities.
Who runs the sewer network in Mykonos?
The municipal sewer network and wastewater treatment plant in Mykonos are run by DEYA Mykonou, the municipal water and sewerage company. Questions about connection to the network should go to them.

How much does septic tank emptying cost in Mykonos? →
How much does it cost to empty a cesspit in Mykonos?
With Metafores Lymaton Santorinaios, the cost of emptying a cesspit or septic tank in Mykonos depends on the volume, the number of loads, access to the tank and how urgent the job is. Call or WhatsApp +30 693 673 2110 for an exact quote.
Why do septic tank emptying prices vary so much in Mykonos?
Because every property is different. A large tank may need more than one tanker load, a steep or narrow driveway needs a longer hose or a smaller truck, and an emergency at night costs more effort than a planned visit.
Absorption cesspit, sealed tank or septic tank: what is the difference? →
What is the difference between an absorption cesspit and a sealed cesspit?
An absorption cesspit lets liquid soak into the ground and keeps the solids, while a sealed cesspit is watertight and holds everything until a vacuum tanker empties it. Sealed tanks need emptying more regularly but protect the ground and groundwater better.
Why does my absorption cesspit in Mykonos fill up so quickly?
Much of Mykonos is rocky ground with thin soil, which absorbs little water, and the ground around an absorption pit clogs over time. When absorption fails, the pit fills almost like a sealed tank and needs more frequent emptying.
