To travel to Astypalaia Island from Turkey, you would typically need to take a combination of flights and ferries, as there are no direct routes. Here's a step-by-step guide:
Option 1: Fly to Athens
The most common route is to first fly from a major Turkish city like Istanbul to Athens. There are frequent flights between Istanbul and Athens.
Option 2: Fly to a nearby Greek island (Kos or Rhodes)
You can also fly from Turkey (Bodrum or Dalaman) to Kos or Rhodes, two Greek islands that have ferry connections to other islands, including Astypalaia.
From Athens (Piraeus Port)
After arriving in Athens, head to Piraeus Port and take a ferry to Astypalaia. Ferry rides from Athens to Astypalaia can take between 8 and 11 hours, depending on the service.
From Kos or Rhodes
If you land on Kos or Rhodes, you can take a shorter ferry ride (about 4-7 hours) to Astypalaia. You may need to check schedules in advance as ferry services might not run daily.
Alternatively, there are direct flights from Athens to Astypalaia's small airport (Astypalaia Island National Airport). The flight takes around 1 hour.
Ferry schedules can change based on the season, so it’s important to check availability and book in advance, especially during the summer.
Flights from Athens to Astypalaia are often limited, so booking early is recommended if you prefer a quicker option.
This combination of air travel and ferries offers flexibility depending on your preference for time and sightseeing.
