Scoping out the transportation options in Karpathos can help keep you on budget. The most convenient airport is Karpathos (AOK-Karpathos National), situated 6.7 mi (10.8 km) away. However, if that doesn't suit your budget, you can arrange flights in and out of Kasos Island (KSJ), which is 17.9 mi (28.7 km) away. Karpathos might not have many public transit options to choose from so a rental car could be an economical alternative to see more of the area.
