Guide to Kasos Airport

Kasos Airport (KSJ) is a short strip on the shore 1 km west of Fry, the port and only town of the southernmost Dodecanese island, between Karpathos and Crete. Only small turboprops land here. Olympic Air flies from Karpathos, a 10-minute hop, and on to Rhodes and Sitia a few times a week all year; there are no other routes and no international flights.

Kasos has about a thousand residents, five villages, a couple of taxis and almost no tourism infrastructure, which is the point of going. The airport is close enough to Fry to walk.

Transport

Fry is 1 km away, a 15-minute walk along the shore or about €6 by taxi. The island has two taxis and no bus; the villages are all within ten minutes.

Local tips

  • Seats are few: the aircraft carries a few dozen and flies a few times a week. Book the connection through Rhodes or Karpathos as one itinerary, and allow a night if the timings are tight.
  • Pack light and soft: no rental cars, two taxis, and a 15-minute walk into town.
  • Wind cancels the small turboprop a few times a season. Check the live board, and know the ferry days as the fallback.
