Reaching Kalymnos is easier than it may seem. The options for visitors wishing to fly to Greece are either flying to Kalymnos via Athens, or flying to the nearby island of Kos, and there moving to the nearby port of Mastihary (hardly ten minutes by bus from the airport of Kos), where boat lines to Kalymnos are active (the frequency of trips is approximately twenty minutes and the duration is also 20 minutes).
If you wish to fly to Kalymnos via Athens, Olympic Airlines operates two flights to Kalymnos on a daily basis from the airport of the capital. However, if you wish to choose that option, we suggest that you book tickets as soon as possible since tickets to Kalymnos in the summer season, run out very quickly.
Reaching Kalymnos via Kos is the most popular option among visitors both for its ease and convenience since the island of Kos is an extremely popular destination for many major low cost and charter flight companies.
