Small island gateway serving the Dodecanese archipelago.

Location
Astypalaia Island, Greece
Astypalaia Airport (IATA: JTY, ICAO: LGPL) is a small regional airport located on Astypalaia Island in the Dodecanese island group of Greece. It serves as the primary air access point for the island, connecting it to Athens and occasionally other Greek destinations during the tourist season. The airport is managed by Fraport Greece, which operates a concession for 14 regional airports across Greece. Due to the island's small population and remote location, flight frequency is limited, with services increasing significantly during the summer months to accommodate tourism. Astypalaia Island itself is known for its distinctive butterfly-shaped geography and medieval Venetian castle. The airport plays a vital role in the island's connectivity, as sea travel to the island can be lengthy.
Terminals
The airport has a single small terminal building suited to the low passenger volumes typical of a minor Greek island airport.
Getting to & from
Taxis and limited local bus services are available at the airport to transport passengers to Astypalaia's main town of Chora and the port area.
Airlines here
Sky Express and Olympic Air operate scheduled services primarily connecting Astypalaia to Athens International Airport.

Gateway to a butterfly-shaped Aegean island lost in time

  • Rental car and scooter hire available locally

Nearby Hotels

Dining

The airport terminal has very limited or no food service, so travellers should plan accordingly before departure. The nearby village of Skala and hilltop Chora offer traditional Greek tavernas serving fresh seafood and local island dishes. Stocking up on snacks before arriving at the airport is strongly advised for early morning flights.

Traveller Tips
  • Arrive early as the terminal is very small and can become crowded during peak summer season.
  • Book rental vehicles in advance as availability is extremely limited on the island.
  • Flights to and from Astypalaia can be subject to weather-related delays due to Aegean winds.
  • The airport is just a few kilometres from Chora; taxi is the most reliable transfer option.
