Transportation from Kos Airport to City Center
Kos Airport is the main airport of the Greek island of Kos, located just off Bodrum. Kos Island is also known as Kos in Turkey. The transportation network between the airport and the city center is quite good for an island, as the island's economy is largely based on tourism.
There are buses of KTEL company departing from the airport to many parts of the island. The most used of these routes is the route to Mastichari Port and Kos city center. The bus departing from the airport first stops at Mastichari Port and continues to Kos city center from there. Between Mondays and Saturdays, the flights start at 07.55 in the morning and end at 19.50 in the evening and there are 8 flights in total. On Sundays, there are only three flights departing at 08.25, 11.20 and 16.00.

The bus stop is only 50 meters away after exiting the terminal building. You can pay the necessary fee for the journey to the driver and only in cash.
Another option is to take a taxi. You can see the taxi rank as soon as you exit the arrivals floor. It is possible to find a taxi at the airport 24/7 in summer and winter. In other words, it is possible to find a taxi at the airport even if your flight is delayed or if you arrive at the island late at night.
Only during the high season, between June and September, you may find it difficult to find a taxi as tourists pile up on the island and you may have to wait in line for a very long time. To avoid this, you can book your taxi before you arrive. The distance between the airport and the city center is approximately 24 km and the journey takes an average of 30 minutes.
You can also consider hiring a car, as there are so many places to see in Kos. The price you will pay for a taxi for your transfer from the airport to the city center is roughly equal to the one-day rental price of a rental car in the middle segment. By renting a car from the airport, you will both avoid your airport transfer and have the chance to see the beauties of Kos with your own rhythm.
