You can find Samos International Airport in 15 kilometers southwest from the city of Samos. The building was launched into work in 1963. Samos Airport services regular flights to Athens and Thessaloniki round the year. In summer people can also travel to lots of European cities.
Due to the peculiar slant of wind, the landing onto the airport’s landing strip is thought to be one of the most complicated in the entire Europe. These maneuvers demand great attention and the most skilled pilots.
The strong winds usually blow from the north in the summer. This often causes some difficulties for the landing of fights.
The airport building bears the name of Aristarchos, an Ancient Greek astronomer and mathematician, who was born on the island of Samos. He was the first scholar (after Pythagoreans), who suggested the heliocentric model of the solar system, according to which the Sun, not the Earth, was set into the center of the Universe.
The airport features only one main terminal. Its infrastructure facilities are spread within two floors, where you can find a duty-free shop and a cafeteria. The total area of the building covers 7000 square meters.

The airport is serviced by city bus routes to the city of Samos, Pythagorion and Herenoia. The point of their departure places in front of the airport building. A driver will sell you a ticket for a trip directly on a bus. Note that you have to find out the timetable beforehand: local buses have a common feature to be late or run not on time.
One more option for transportation from the airport is a taxi service that is found in the area of the arrivals. The approximate cost of such a trip is 25 euros, but you should be ready that the price may change.
The airport transfer is primarily maintained by a taxi service provider. It is a convenient means of transportation. However, it’s not always budget-friendly. The price, indicated by a driver before a drive, may greatly increase until the end due to many reasons. The final payment may be influenced by traffic jams, out-of-service time, the number of luggage, etc. In addition, it is hardly ever possible to find a taxi, equipped with a child seat, even for an extra charge.
The most reliable and comfortable way to travel on the island is to book a transfer service. It will help you avoid extra payments, lack of services or desired vehicles. You can request for a car seat and use the help of a driver with the luggage absolutely for free. In addition, it is up to you to choose the vehicle which meets your needs. A transparent payment system reveals the services passengers have to pay for as well as distance in kilometers their vehicle will cope with during a ride. Furthermore, upon landing you do not have to seek for a booked vehicle, the member of our staff will meet you in the hall of arrivals.
