Samos Airport Transportation

Your driver waits just outside the arrivals exit of the single terminal, holding a sign with your name.

The airport is on the south coast, within about 5 km (3 miles) of Pythagoreio. Samos Town (Vathy), in the northeast, is a longer drive across the island.

Yes. The official name is Samos International Airport "Aristarchos of Samos", and its code is SMI.

Karlovasi and Marathokampos are in the west of the island, the longest drives from the airport. Enter the address in the booking form: when a vehicle is available for that route, the price shows before you pay; if it does not, contact us before you fly.

Aegean Airlines flies year-round to Athens, Olympic Air to Thessaloniki, and Sky Express to Thessaloniki, Rhodes, Chios, Lemnos and Mytilene. In summer, Jet2, TUI, Condor, Eurowings and Scandinavian charters fly from northern Europe.

Sometimes. The runway lies between mountains and sea, and strong northerly meltemi winds blow in summer, which can occasionally delay flights.

Greece is in the Schengen area, so passengers arriving from non-Schengen countries, for example the UK, go through passport control. Non-EU travelers are registered in the EU Entry/Exit System (EES), fully operational since 10 April 2026; the planned ETIAS travel authorization is not yet in operation. Check the visa rules for your nationality before you fly.

Yes. Give us the full address and any gate or access instructions when you book. For village houses without a street number, add a map pin or the owner's directions.

We track the arrival of the flight on your reservation, so your driver adjusts to a delay. If your flight number, date or airline changes, or your flight is canceled, update it in Manage your booking so we can move your pickup.

Yes. Book a return from your hotel, apartment or villa and give us your flight time, so your pickup leaves enough time for check-in and security, especially on busy summer weekends.

No. Airport Transportation is a private transfer service that books rides from SMI; we are not the airport or its operator. For terminals, airlines and other ways to get around, see our Samos International Airport page.
