The island of Kos has been a popular tourist destination for many years. The development of Kos’ tourist industry has led to many major developments around the island. One of the most important developments comes in the form of the Kos Island International Airport.

The Kos Island International Airport (IATA: KGS, ICAO: LGKO) serves as the single air travel gateway for this popular tourist island. The airport is located about twenty six kilometers southwest of the town of Kos, and next to Christos and Panagia of the Antimachia area.

Traveling to and from the Kos Island International Airport is quite easy and convenient. The airport is serviced by several public buses which bring passengers to the nearby towns of Kos, particularly to Kos Town. There are also taxis available at the airport. They offer a convenient and affordable way to travel directly to the nearby resorts of the area. Car rental facilities are available at the airport terminal.

The terminal of the Kos Island International Airport is relatively large. The continuous development of the island as a tourist destination has led to an increase in air traffic to and from the island. As a result, the terminal of the Kos Island International Airport has been modified to accommodate the increasing number of passengers that it services.

The Kos Island International Airport has a limited number of passenger facilities in its terminal. There are no financial services available in the terminal. However, one can find some dining and refreshment outlets there. Shopping is available in the form of a duty free shop and a number of small souvenir shops selling traditional Grecian wares.

As this is such a popular tourist destination hotel accommodation is very plentiful and comes at all standards.
