Kastelorizo Airport (KZS/LGKJ) is the small public airport serving Kastelorizo (Megisti), Greece’s easternmost inhabited island, just off the Turkish coast. Opened in 2006, it has a short 798 m runway and mainly handles seasonal domestic flights linking the island with Rhodes. Its compact size and dramatic approach over the Aegean make it a memorable arrival for travelers to this remote Dodecanese outpost.
💡 Local Tip
There’s no ATM at the airport and taxis may not take cards, so withdraw cash in Rhodes or at the town harbor before your flight; also keep your schedule flexible because meltemi winds can cause delays on this short runway.
🚖 Getting There
The airport sits about 3 km from Kastellorizo’s harbor; taxis are few, so ask your hotel to arrange a pickup or confirm a taxi before landing. If you’re staying in the main town, the transfer is short but the road can be narrow and hilly. Ferries from Rhodes and Kaş, Turkey, serve the island, but schedules are weather-dependent and not always timed with flights.
