Hippocrates Airport in Kos, named after the father of medicine who was born on the island, lies at Antimachia, in the middle of the island. In summer it receives many charter flights from all over Europe, and it is also the gateway for ferries to Kalymnos, Nisyros and the other nearby islands of the Dodecanese.

Getting to town
- KTEL buses: link the airport with Kos town and the main resorts, on seasonal timetables.
- Taxi: rank outside the terminal; Kos town is about 30 to 40 minutes away.
- Hire car: handy for reaching Kefalos, Kardamena and the southern beaches.
Practical tips
- Documents: EU citizens only need a valid identity card or passport.
- Islands in summer: island airports are small and very crowded on peak days; arrive well ahead of your return flight.
- Domestic flights: Aegean, Olympic and Sky Express link Athens and Thessaloniki with dozens of islands; alternatively there are the ferries.
- Taxis: ask the price before getting in or check that the meter is running; on the islands it is best to book.
