Arriving at Kos International Airport (Hippocrates - KGS) is the start of your Greek island adventure. If you are staying in Kardamena, you are in luck! The village is conveniently located just 7 kilometers from the airport, making it one of the most accessible resorts on the island.
Here is everything you need to know about getting from Kos Airport to Kardamena quickly and stress-free.
The Quickest Option: Private Airport Transfers For a seamless start to your holiday, booking a private transfer in advance is highly recommended. You won't have to wait in line for a taxi, and your driver will be waiting for you at arrivals.

The Most Flexible Option: Renting a Car If you plan to explore the island, renting a car directly from the airport is a smart move. The drive to Kardamena takes less than 15 minutes along a straightforward, well-paved road.

The Local Option: Kos Airport Taxis & Buses
Taxis: There is a taxi rank right outside the arrivals terminal. A standard taxi to Kardamena usually takes about 10–15 minutes. During peak summer months, there might be a long wait.
Public Bus (KTEL): The local bus is the most budget-friendly option. However, schedules are limited and often align only with major flight arrivals. The bus will drop you off at the main square in Kardamena, from where you can walk (14') to Pittas Studios or get a taxi. (not ideal and we do not reccomend)
Why Stay at Pittas Studios? Located in a quiet garden setting but just a short stroll from the center of Kardamena, Pittas Studios offers the perfect base. Contact us before you arrive, and we will happily help arrange your transfer or car rental so your vacation starts the moment you touch down.
