Airport Transfers
Private airport transportation from Kos Airport (KGS) to Kos Town, Psalidi, Tigaki, Marmari, Kardamena, Mastichari and Kefalos on the island of Kos, Greece.
Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Kos International Airport "Ippokratis" to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.
After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.
Our airport transportation in Kos runs from Kos International Airport Ippokratis to hotels, resorts and villas in Kos Town and Psalidi, in Tigaki and Marmari on the north coast, in Kardamena and Mastichari, and in Kefalos and Kamari in the west of the island.
Our Kos airport transfers start just outside the arrivals exit of the single terminal, where your driver waits with a sign showing your name. We track your flight, so the pickup follows your real landing time, even on summer weekends when many charter flights land close together.
Choose a vehicle sized for your party, from a sedan for two to a van for a family or group, and each Kos airport transfer goes door to door to your hotel, apartment or villa, or to the harbor at Mastichari or Kos Town. Taking a ferry on to Kalymnos? We drive you to the harbor; give us your sailing time when you book.
Our Kos airport shuttle is a private van for your party only: it leaves as soon as you have your bags and goes straight to your resort or villa, with no stops at other hotels along the way. There is room for suitcases, strollers and beach gear, so it suits families and groups heading to Kos Town, Kardamena or a villa in the west.
From private sedans to group vans. One fixed price per vehicle, whatever your party size.

Kos International Airport Ippokratis (KGS), named after Hippocrates, is in the middle of the island near the village of Antimachia. All flights use a single terminal, opened in 1980 and later expanded, and Fraport Greece runs the airport.
Flights from Athens and other Schengen countries arrive without passport checks. Passengers from outside the Schengen area, as many summer visitors from the UK are, queue at passport control. On summer weekends, when many charter flights land close together, the terminal gets busy. Once you have your bags, head outside, where pre-booked drivers meet passengers.
Greece is on Eastern European Time (UTC+2) and switches to UTC+3 for daylight saving time from late March to late October.
Schengen entry. Greece is in the Schengen area. Non-EU travelers are registered in the EU Entry/Exit System (EES), fully operational since 10 April 2026; the planned ETIAS travel authorization is not yet in operation. Check the visa rules for your nationality before you fly.
Mid-island airport. The airport is in the middle of the island, so Kos Town and the resorts on the northeast coast are a longer ride than Kardamena or Mastichari.
Ferry connections. Ferries to Kalymnos leave from Mastichari and from Kos Town harbor. Give us your sailing time when you book, so your drop-off fits it.
Euro and cash. Greece uses the euro; carry some cash for small purchases.
