Sewage truck for homes and villas in Mykonos
Metafores Lymaton Santorinaios sends a sewage truck to homes and villas anywhere in Mykonos to empty cesspits and septic tanks. We are a family business based in Marathi, working on the island since 1995, and every load we collect is delivered to the licensed municipal wastewater treatment plant of Mykonos (DEYA Mykonou). Call or WhatsApp +30 693 673 2110 to book a visit.
How it works
Before we arrive, make sure the lid is uncovered or tell us exactly where it is, clear a path for the hose, move cars that block the road and keep pets indoors. If the lid is tiled or cemented over, mention it when you book so we come prepared.
Pumping out a typical household tank usually takes less than an hour. The whole visit can take longer if the tank is large, the lid is hard to reach or the hose has to run a long way.

- 6The waste is driven to the licensed treatment facility and you receive your receipt or invoice.

Cesspit and septic tank emptying for Mykonos homes
Many houses and villas in Mykonos, especially outside Mykonos Town (Chora), are not connected to a sewer network. They rely on a cesspit or a septic tank that has to be pumped out when it fills. That is the job we do every day, from small village houses in Ano Mera to large villas above Agios Stefanos and Kalafatis.
We come with a vacuum tanker, pump the tank out, close it up and drive the waste away in a sealed tank. Nothing is spilled on your property and nothing is dumped. Our fleet of 6 MAN and Volvo tankers covers capacities of 10 to 30 m³, so we can send the right size of truck for a single house or a villa with several tanks.

Narrow roads, steep drives and hidden lids
Mykonos was not built for large trucks. Many villas sit at the end of narrow concrete roads, behind tight gates or on steep drives, and the tank lid is often under a terrace, a flower bed or a stone path. After more than 30+ years on the island we know most of these roads and plan each visit around the access.
When you call, tell us how wide the road is, whether there is a gate or steps, and where the tank is. A photo on WhatsApp helps a lot. We choose the truck to match, and our suction hoses let the tanker stay on the road while we work at the lid, so we rarely need to drive onto paving or gardens.
Signs your cesspit or septic tank is full
A tank rarely fills overnight. It gives warnings first, and if you book when you see them you avoid an overflow in the middle of a stay.
- Toilets, sinks or showers drain slowly
- Gurgling sounds in the pipes after flushing
- A sewage smell near the tank or inside the house
- A wet or unusually green patch of ground around the tank
- Water backing up in the lowest shower or floor drain
- You cannot remember when the tank was last emptied
Why choose Metafores Lymaton Santorinaios

You get a clear price before we start, a clean job on the day, and the certainty that the waste ends up where it should: at a licensed facility, never in a field or a stream.
Frequently asked questions
Who empties cesspits for private houses in Mykonos?
Metafores Lymaton Santorinaios, a family business based in Marathi, has been emptying cesspits and septic tanks for homes and villas all over Mykonos since 1995. You can book by phone or WhatsApp on +30 693 673 2110.
How much does it cost to empty a cesspit in Mykonos?
The price depends on the volume in the tank, how easy the access is and how far the property is from the treatment facility. Call or WhatsApp us with a photo and location and we will give you a quote.
How soon can a sewage truck come to my house in Mykonos?
For routine emptying we agree a time slot when you call; in July and August it is best to book a few days ahead. If the tank is already overflowing, treat it as an emergency: we answer 24/7 and usually reach you within 1 to 2 hours.
Can a sewage truck reach a villa on a narrow road in Mykonos?
In most cases, yes. We send a truck sized for the road and use long suction hoses so the tanker can stay on the street while we work at the lid. Send us a photo of the access when you book.
How often should a septic tank be emptied in a Mykonos home?
It depends on the size of the tank and how many people use the house. A family home may need it rarely, while a holiday rental that is full all summer can fill much faster. Tell us the tank size and occupancy and we will suggest a sensible interval.
Do I need to be at home when you empty my cesspit?
No. If the lid is accessible and the gate is open, or a caretaker can let us in, we can do the job while you are away and message you when it is finished.
Where does the sewage go after it is pumped out in Mykonos?
Every load we collect in Mykonos is transported in a sealed tanker and delivered to the licensed municipal wastewater treatment plant of Mykonos (DEYA Mykonou). We never dump waste on land or at sea.
