Things to do in Athens when you land

the Panathenaic Stadium, Delphi, a day away, the Athens Riviera beaches, the Acropolis and the Parthenon and the Acropolis Museum are what most passengers come to Athens for. Piraeus is the port of Athens and the main gateway to the Aegean islands, linked to central Athens by metro in about half an hour. Eat loukoumades, a frappé in Plaka and souvlaki and gyros while you are there.

Haqqi Tours can provide guided tours, tickets, airport transfers and private drivers in Athens; ask when you book the flight and we send the options.

Best time to fly from Kos to Athens

Flights from Kos to Athens run all year, several flights a day. April to June and September to October are ideal; July and August are very hot; winter is mild and quiet; the Attiki Odos motorway from the airport is quick outside rush hour. If you can travel outside those weeks the same seat costs less and the airports are quieter. Whatever the month, early booking is the single biggest saving.

Return flight from Athens to Kos

Coming back? Say so on the form. A return flight ticket from Athens to Kos booked with the outbound is often cheaper than two separate bookings, and it keeps the trip on one WhatsApp thread with one point of contact.

How much is a flight from Kos to Athens?

Flight prices from Kos to Athens follow demand: book early on a quiet day and you pay a fraction of a last-minute fare in high season. The airline you choose, whether the fare includes baggage, the seat class and the time of the flight all change the total. Rather than quote a number that will be wrong tomorrow, Haqqi Tours checks the fare for the day you want to fly and sends it to you through WhatsApp before you decide.

What the price we send includes: the ticket in the fare class you chose, the taxes and airport charges, the baggage that fare carries, and our service - comparing the airlines, booking, sending the e-ticket and helping if the flight changes. We tell you clearly if a bag or a seat costs extra on that fare.

Cheapest flight from Kos to Athens: how to pay less

The cheapest flight from Kos to Athens is normally booked early, flown mid-week and chosen with the baggage you actually need. These are the rules our staff applies on every booking:

  • Fly mid-week - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday departures are generally cheaper than Friday, Sunday and Monday
  • Consider early-morning and late-evening departures, which often carry the lowest fares
  • Let us know if your dates are flexible - moving by a day can change the fare a lot
  • Pack to the fare: a hand-luggage-only ticket is cheaper if you do not need a checked bag
  • Compare airlines - on this route the cheapest carrier changes from day to day
  • Book both directions together when a return fare is cheaper than two singles, which we look up

Send us the form with your dates and we tell you which departure is the cheapest flight from Kos to Athens that day and what a slightly different day would cost.

How to book flights from Kos to Athens with Haqqi Tours

Booking a flight from Kos to Athens with us takes a few minutes and one conversation. Fill in the booking form on this page with your date, whether you want a one-way or a return, how many adults and children are flying and the class you prefer. Our team then messages you in the WhatsApp chat to check your booking: we confirm the flights available that day, the carrier, the baggage included and the cost. You choose, we book, and the e-ticket arrives in the same chat.

  • Step 1 - send the form: date, one-way or return, adults and children, class
  • Step 2 - we message you on WhatsApp with the flights, the baggage included and the cost
  • Step 3 - you confirm the flight you prefer and we arrange payment in the same chat
  • Step 4 - we issue the e-ticket and send it; we stay in touch until you land in Athens

Haqqi Tours also provides what happens around the flight: a private transfer to the airport in Kos, a driver at Athens International Airport (ATH) with your name, and tours in Athens. Mention it by WhatsApp and it goes on the same confirmation.

Airlines flying from Kos to Athens

Who flies from Kos to Athens? Aegean Airlines and Sky Express. Between them the route runs several flights a day. We compare their fares, timings and baggage for your travel date and send the two or three that make sense, not a list of fifty.

  • Aegean Airlines - Kos to Athens
  • Sky Express - Kos to Athens

Departure: Kos Airport (KGS)

Your journey starts at Kos Airport (KGS). We tell you the terminal for your airline, when check-in and bag drop close, and whether the airport has fast-track security worth booking. Ferries from Piraeus take about ten to eleven hours, fast boats reach Rhodes in two to three hours and Bodrum in under an hour, and flights link Kos Airport with Athens and many European cities. Buses connect Kos Town with the main resorts, but a private car is easiest with luggage or for a late arrival.

  • Arrive about 2 hours before an international departure, 90 minutes before a domestic one
  • Online check-in opens 24-48 hours before; we send the link and the booking reference
  • Keep the passport or ID used for booking with the electronic ticket - names must match exactly
  • Check the baggage included in your fare - we tell you before you book

Arrival: Athens International Airport (ATH) and getting into Athens

Arrival is at Athens International Airport (ATH), and the first decision is how to reach the city. Piraeus is the port of Athens and the main gateway to the Aegean islands, linked to central Athens by metro in about half an hour. We provide airport transfers in Athens with a driver at arrivals, and we also tell you honestly if the train or metro from the airport is the better choice for where you are staying.

Arriving late at night? We note it and, if you have booked a transfer, the driver tracks the flight; a delay costs you nothing.

Baggage, seats and classes on the Kos to Athens flight

Before you compare the Kos to Athens flight prices, compare what they carry. A fare with hand luggage only can look cheapest and end up dearer once a bag is added. Haqqi Tours provides the fare that matches your bags: cabin bag only for a short trip, checked bag for a holiday, extra allowance for a long stay. Seat selection, meals and priority boarding are optional extras on many airlines; we tell you which are worth it.

  • Business class: bigger seat, meal, lounge, priority boarding - we send the cost beside economy
  • Cabin bag on every fare; checked bag included on full-service fares, optional on low-cost ones
  • Adding baggage at booking is cheaper than at the airport - we add it for you
  • Seat selection free or paid depending on the airline; families seated together on request

Flying with children, families and groups from Kos to Athens

Families fly the Kos to Athens route with us every week. Infants under two travel on a lap at a small fare; children have a seat and a child fare where the carrier offers one; pushchairs are checked free at the gate on most airlines. We seat the family together, order children's meals where they exist and choose a departure time that suits nap and bedtime. For groups, we book the seats in one reservation and ask the airline for a group fare where the numbers justify it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers to what travellers ask us most, before they book.

Which airlines fly from Kos to Athens?

Aegean Airlines and Sky Express. We compare their fares, timings and baggage for your dates and send the ones that make sense.

Which airport do I fly from in Kos?

Departures are from Kos Airport (KGS). We send the terminal and the check-in deadline with the ticket, and can add a private transfer from your accommodation to the airport.

Where do I land in Athens?

You land at Athens International Airport (ATH). Taxis and local transport leave from arrivals; a Haqqi Tours driver can meet you at the exit with your name if you add a transfer.

Is baggage included in the Kos to Athens flight ticket?

Not always. Full-service fares generally include a checked bag; low-cost and basic fares include hand luggage only. We state exactly what each fare includes before you book and add a bag where it is cheaper to do so at booking.

Can I book a return flight from Athens to Kos?

Of course. Tick "return" on the form with the date you come back; we compare a round-trip fare against two one-ways and book the cheaper one. Not sure of the return yet? We explain the flexible options.

Do children and infants need a ticket?

Infants under two travel on a lap at a reduced fare; children two and over need a seat and generally pay a child fare. Give the ages on the form and we apply the right fares and seat the family together.

Can I choose my seat?

On most airlines, yes - free at check-in or for a small fee at booking. Tell us your preference by WhatsApp and we add it.

What is the difference between economy and business class?

Business class means a much larger seat, a meal, lounge access, priority boarding and normally a more flexible ticket; economy is the practical choice for a 55 minutes flight. We send the cost of both.

What happens if I miss the flight?

The lowest fares are forfeited; flexible fares can be rebooked for a fee or free. We tell you which rules apply before you commit to anything, and our WhatsApp desk helps on the day if something goes wrong.

Can I change or cancel my flight ticket?

Change and refund rules depend on the carrier and the fare class; some tickets are flexible, the cheapest are not. We tell you exactly what applies before you confirm and handle any change through the same chat.

Do I need to print the e-ticket?

No. The electronic ticket and booking reference on your phone are all you need at check-in; we send both and remind you to bring the passport or ID used in the booking.

How early should I be at Kos Airport?

Around two hours before an international departure and ninety minutes before a domestic one, more at peak times or with bags to check. Low-cost airlines close bag drop early - we send the exact deadline with the ticket.

Can Haqqi Tours arrange airport transfers?

Of course. We provide private transfers from your hotel to Kos Airport and from Athens International Airport to your hotel, flight tracked, on the same confirmation as the ticket.

Can I book the Kos to Athens flight for a group?

Certainly. Give the number of travellers on the form; we book everyone together in one reservation and, when the numbers justify it, ask the carrier for a group fare.

When is the best time to book the Kos to Athens flight?

As soon as your dates are fixed. Low fare tiers open months ahead and rise as seats sell; holidays and summer departures fill first.
