By air
Fastest route, the usual traffic
Kos International Airport “Hippocrates” (KGS) is the fastest and most frequent way to reach Kos by air. The airport lies about 20 km southwest of Kos Town, and direct daily flights operate year-round from Athens (ATH) on Aegean Airlines and Sky Express, with a flight time of roughly 55–65 minutes. In summer months, charter services link major European hubs (e.g. London, Berlin, Munich) directly to Kos several times per week. Once you land, you can hop on the public bus (Line 3) for a 30-minute ride into Kos Town, or take a taxi/car-hire from the arrivals forecourt to reach anywhere on the island in under 45 minutes.
