Transportation to Airport from Kos City Center
Kos Intl. Airport
Kos is a crowded island especially in summer although it is small in terms of surface area. A 24-hour taxi service can be used to get to Ippokratis Airport which is the only airport in the island. In addition, private cars can be rented from car rental companies by those looking for alternative means of transportation.
Taxi
Taxis, that operate continuously all day in order to ensure transportation is available in Kos’ endless energy, can take you to Ippsokratis Airport within 30 minutes from the city center.
Car Rental
In order to rent a car from Avis, Budget, Enterprise and Kos Car Hire companies which have a heavy demand especially in spring and summer, it is necessary to make reservation via internet or telephone in advance. You can take back the deposit by delivering the rental cars to the officials at the airport.
Airport Information
Ippokratis Airport, which serves Kos Island, has two passenger terminals. There is a police station in the airport in order to ensure safety at these terminals, and a first aid team to be able to intervene immediately in health problems. Passengers wishing to meet their eating and drinking needs can benefit from the restaurant or four different bars serving between April and October. KAE duty free store allows you to shop among items such as souvenirs, cosmetics and jewelry. In addition, passengers who use VIP lounge rooms can benefit from many VIP-specific services.
Transportation to Venice City Center from Airport
Venice Marco Polo Airport
Venice has two airports, "Marco Polo" and "Treviso", but a significant number of international flights, including flights from Istanbul, are landing at Marco Polo Airport.
From the airport to the city center you have many options such as train, bus, taxi, vaporetto, car rental and water taxi.
Bus
There are two options for transportation from the airport to the city: "ACTV" buses operated by municipality or privately operated "ATVO" buses.
ACTV buses operate from 4 am to midnight every day of the week, between Rome Square and the airport. The journey lasts 25 minutes. Tickets can be picked up from the vending machines at the airport terminals. ATVO buses also work on the same line as ACTV. The bus departing from the airport operated between 7.50 am and 11.50 pm. The duration of the journey is almost the same as ACTV. If you will be staying somewhere outside Venice city center, like Mestre, you can use other routes of ATVO and ACTV.
Vaporetto
It is very enjoyable to get to the Venetian islands from the airport with the small sea buses, which are called "Vaporetto", run by the company "Alilunga" because you will start living the Venetian atmosphere as soon as you enter the city. There are 3 separate lines - red, orange and blue; which one to choose depends on your destination. Therefore, it is advised for you to consult your hotel about which line to choose and which stop to get off before you arrival. The journey with these would not be very short. It depends on your destination, but it lasts more than 1 hour. You can get tickets from your arrival terminal. You can reach the pier of boats after a 10-minute walk from the terminal exit.
Train
While the most convenient way to get to the city center of Venice is by bus and vaporetto, you still have the option to take a train. You only need to take a taxi or bus to get to the main railway stations from the airport. With the buses from the airport you can go to the Mestre station in 20-25 minutes and to Santa Lucia station in 35 minutes. Then you can reach the different points of the city by train. It is not a practical and preferred method as you need to change two vehicles with this way.
Taxi
There is a taxi company named "Radio Taxi" at the airport. You can make reservations in advance or take a taxi to the city center or other area upon your arrival. Taxi fare would be around 40 euros to Rome Square, and 35 euros to the center of Mestre from the airport.
Car Rental
You can rent a car from the lower floor of the arrival terminals. Here you can find a total of eight company offices such as Avis, Europcar, Autovia, Autoeuropa, Maggiore, Sixt, Lacauto and Hertz. If you will only be visiting Venice city center, renting a car is not a recommended option, because you cannot take your car to the city center, where you can travel with boats or by foot. If you rent a car from the airport, you need to park it in the parking lot at the Rome Square.
Water Taxi
The water taxi, which is the most elegant and most expensive way of going to the center of Venice from the airport via the canal, is another alternative. When you book in advance, it can be a bit cheaper, but the average prices vary between 80 and 125 euros depending on where you are going.
