Getting to and from Kastellorizo Airport
Transport on Kastellorizo is simple because there is almost none. One road climbs from the harbour to the airport, one minibus drives it whenever a flight lands or leaves, and everything in the village is on foot. Bring luggage you can carry down a lane.
The airport minibus
The municipal minibus waits at the airport for every arrival and leaves the harbour square about an hour before every departure, 5 minutes each way, about €3. It is the only vehicle for hire on the island; if it is full, the driver comes back for the second load. The walk down to the harbour takes about 30 minutes on the road.
| Option | Cost | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Municipal minibus (meets every flight) | about €3 | 5 min |
| On foot, downhill by the road | Free | 30 min |
Ferries and boats
Ferries from Rhodes call two or three times a week, taking two and a half hours by fast boat or four by conventional ferry, and are the only way to bring a vehicle. Day boats cross to Kaş in Turkey in 20 minutes in summer, for which you need your passport and a border check on both sides. Within the island, water taxis run to the beaches and the Blue Cave from the harbour.
