Milos Airport guide

Milos Island National Airport (ICAO LGML) is a small public airport on the Cycladic island of Milos. It lies about 5 km southeast of the port of Adamas, and the Hellenic Civil Aviation Authority operates it. The airport opened in January 1973 and has one asphalt runway, 08/26, about 1,075 m long. A newer terminal building came into use in October 1995.

The short runway limits the airport to turboprop aircraft, so flights are on small regional types. Sky Express flies to Athens, and Aegean Airlines has run a seasonal service from Thessaloniki. Flights from Athens take about 40 minutes, which makes the airport a quicker option than the ferry for travellers who want to avoid a long sea crossing.

Traffic is modest and seasonal. The airport handled 77,501 passengers and 2,259 aircraft movements in 2018, up about 65 percent on the year before. There is no taxi rank at the airport, so arrange a local driver in advance. A KTEL bus stops about 100 m from the airport and runs to Adamas in the summer season, with about seven buses a day in high season. The bus does not run to the airport in winter, so check transport before a late or off-season arrival.
