Astypalaia Island National Airport

Astypalaia Island National Airport

The small airport located not far from the village of Analipsi (Maltezana) serves only a couple of national destinations (mainly the capital city of Athens). It is located some 12 km away from Chora, the island's main settlement. During the summer, a public bus circulates between the airport and the town. To reach other destinations, transfers must be pre-arranged. Taxis may be hired directly at the airport.

Public buses run relatively frequently during the summer, connecting the Chora (buses stop in Chora Square) to other larger destinations throughout the island, such as Pera Gialos, Maltezana, and Livadi. During low season, however, buses are infrequent, and travelers would be better off renting a car or hiring a cab.
